Michael Theo // Love on the Spectrum




Seize the Yay show

Summary: What a whirlwind few weeks it's been - I can't believe it's already April and I don't know about you guys but I'm counting down until the Easter break to catch up with myself again. It's been SO delightful to work with real life people in the flesh and travel around again - of course I've gotten overexcited as usual and episodes have been dropping all over the shop between Survivor, #yaysofourlives and the regular schedule BUT I hope it's been keeping things fresh and you on your toes. I couldn't be more excited to be back to our regular programming this week with a guest with whom many of us have fallen in love from afar. I didn't intend it this way but it's funny how things work out - we recorded this the day after his birthday and a few days before mine AND we're releasing it now during World Autism Awareness Month kicking off with United Nations-sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day just days ago on April 2. Yep, I'm SO thrilled to have Netflix's Love on the Spectrum star, Michael Theo joining us this week. You might remember Ang and I recommended this brilliant show in a #yaysofourlives episode - it's a wholesome and uplifting docuseries following seven young neurodiverse adults as they explore the wild world of dating. Michael in particular captured hearts all over the world with his passion for finding his person and constant zingers making his way even onto the Ellen Show and drawing guests on his own podcast Mr A+ like stars from his favourite TV show (and mine, Brooklyn 99). Having only been told about his autism diagnosis at 13 years old, Michael sees his neurodiversity as a gift not a burden and in listening today, I hope you see why...
