While many beloved cast members have been on Love On The Spectrum USA, Steve Spitz is definitely a favorite. After the success of Love On The Spectrum, Netflix released a U.S. version in May 2022 with mostly positive reviews from audiences and critics alike. Steve was one of the shining stars.

In the Netflix TV series, autistic individuals are followed in their search for love, creating great and memorable scenes. Steve, a charismatic and smooth-voiced man, caught the attention of viewers. A few things were revealed about the star during production and after the show's release.

Steve's Family Was Originally From L.A.

Steve now lives in Chicago, where he is seen wandering the city streets and having coffee with his friend, Stan. Entering the world of dating, Steve went on a couple of dates near iconic landmarks of the famed city. But before the Spitz family moved to Chicago, they originally lived in Los Angeles, according to Gossip Next Door. While not much is known about their life there, Steve seems to have embraced his new home and hasn't looked back.

Steve's Father Was A Magazine Publisher

In one of the episodes, Steve revealed how close he was to his father, which created many funny Love On The Spectrum moments. While the show didn't explore much of his family life, his father was successful. As reported in SFGATE, Harold Spitz's father (Steve's grandfather) founded the magazine Guest Informer. After joining the army for the war efforts in World War 2, Harold joined the publication, became a publisher in 1962, and remained there for 58 years.

Steve's Sister Is A Voice-Over Artist

Apart from photographs and mentions of Steve's father in the show, no other family member was featured. However, some have spoken up about the man after the show and shared their love for him. One was Michele Spitz, Steve's sister, who does several jobs, including being a producer. She also did voice-over work for over 18 years for "Women Of Her Word," a company that provides narration and audio description services for several productions.

Steve Spitz Is Still Single

During the show, Steve went on a couple of dates with two women, but it wasn't meant to be. While it was great for friends to see him date for the first time, he didn't quite click with them.

But what happened to Steve after the series? While some were successful in relationships, Steve was one of the stars who have not found love since production wrapped up and is still looking, at least as reported in Gossip Next Door. Whether he will return for a hopeful second season is hard to say, but this favorite Love On The Spectrum singleton was determined at the end of the show to find love.

Steve Was Only Diagnosed With Autism A Few Years Ago

While most of the stars of the series were diagnosed with autism as children, Steve wasn't diagnosed until sometime before production, according to Distractify. Even throughout some episodes, Steve is still learning about his neurodiversity.

But he seemingly has lots of support. As well as having his aide, Shorae, helping him with technology outside his comfort zone, Steve has a life coach who tries to help him see his behaviors as positive attributes.

Steve Appeared In "Meet The Biz"

While it's no surprise that everyone knows Steve from his appearance in Love on the Spectrum US, he has since made one other TV appearance. As a guest on Meet the Biz with David Zimmerman, Steve discussed his personal experiences and what he would like to do in the future in a feel-good interview on the show. It's hard to say whether Steve will ever return to the screen, but it's nice to see him appear in his first interview since the show was released.

Steve Is The Oldest Love On The Spectrum Cast Member To Date

The original Australian series featured young people on the autism spectrum looking for love, and the U.S. version introduced another group of young autistic people on the same journey. However, Steve's story was slightly different at 63 years of age.

Steve Struggled To Fit In Growing Up

It was no surprise for viewers that since Steve was not diagnosed until he was older, he had a very different experience growing up. While the show sees him accepting his quirks as positive attributes, his interviews reveal how hard it was for him to fit in. During the series, despite having a big heart, he reveals how tough it was for him to socialize. While his father helped support and guide him through the world, Steve's journey in the show is as much about love as it is about overcoming his past challenges and accepting himself.

Steve Gained Many Fans After The Series

Since the show's release, some series stars have newfound fame, while others gained followers on social media. Steve may not have been aware of his newly discovered fans as he has no social media presence. Many agreed that they loved his voice, with singer AKA Mack wishing "to have a voice as calming as Steve from love on the spectrum when I'm 63." Additionally, Twitter user Rhiannon Peacock commented, "Steve from Love on the Spectrum US is the most beautiful soul in the universe."
