Creator Jason Katims is best-known for \u201cFriday Night Lights\u201d and \u201cParenthood.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he said his latest drama series<\/a>, \u201cAs We See It,\u201d is personal. It\u2019s based on the 2018 Israeli series \u201cOn the Spectrum.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a son who is on the spectrum,\u201d Katims, 61, told The Post. \u201cA few years ago, before I started thinking about this show, he was becoming a young adult \u2013 the age of these characters in this show. And I was thinking a lot about his story and his future. You open up the Autism Speaks website, and you see a picture of a beautiful little boy. Those kids grow up. So, for a very personal reason, I was thinking about this subject matter. Then I saw the Israeli show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs We See It,\u201d premiering Jan. 21 on Amazon, follows Jack (Rick Glassman), Harrison (Albert Rutecki), and Violet (Sue Ann Pien), twentysomething roommates on the autism spectrum, as they strive to keep jobs, date, navigate the world and make friends \u00a0\u2013 with help from Violet\u2019s brother, Van (Chris Pang), Jack\u2019s dad, Lou (Joe Mantegna) and their aide, Mandy (Sosie Bacon).<\/p>\n

Computer whiz Jack struggles to be polite when he feels that other people aren\u2019t up to his level of intelligence, which causes problems in the publishing house where he works. Harrison, who is addicted to TV, struggles to leave the apartment, overwhelmed with stimuli when he steps outside. Violet\u2019s intense desire to date leads to some ill-fated flirting in the fast food spot where she works, and her older brother restricts her access to dating app<\/a>s on her phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

None of the characters are directly based on Katims\u2019\u00a0 23-year-old son, Sawyer, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things that has helped me to write the show is that it\u2019s not autobiographical. So, I don\u2019t have to worry about, \u2018Can I tell that story, should I not, it\u2019s not mine to tell?\u2019 I don\u2019t have to worry about my son\u2019s privacy or anybody else\u2019s,\u201d he said. \u201cI am of course drawing from my experience and the people I know on the spectrum \u2013 not just my son. It\u2019s been a long time now that I\u2019ve been close to this subject matter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

His son has not watched \u201cAs We See it\u201d yet, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe funny thing about my son \u2013 he doesn\u2019t like watching my shows. Sawyer is the biggest football fan in the world, and I can\u2019t get him to watch \u2018Friday Night Lights.\u2019 He\u2019s like, \u2018I can watch real football.\u2019 So I will try to get him to watch [\u2018As We See It\u2019], and we\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking of \u201cFriday Night Lights,\u201d which ran on NBC from 2006-2011, Katims said that it\u2019s difficult for him to reflect on it from a distance.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, \u2018Friday Night Lights,\u2019 was such a seminal part of my career and my life. I know a lot of time has gone by now, but it doesn\u2019t feel that way to me,\u201d he said. \u201cThose characters feel so close to my heart that I don\u2019t really look at it with the perspective that maybe I should be looking at it with, because it doesn\u2019t feel that far away from me. <\/p>\n

\u201cOn the other hand, I\u2019m reminded of the time that\u2019s passed when I put on my TV and I see Jesse Plemons and Connie [Britton] and Michael B. Jordan and Kyle [Chandler]. When I see these people whose careers have just exploded in this amazing way, it gives me such joy to see their journeys since \u2018Friday Night Lights.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u201cI feel very proud that I had the opportunity to work with them on a show that I know was as meaningful to them as it was to me.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
