'Love on the Spectrum' Star Michael Thomas' Tips for Finding Love 

👏🏻

same here

Haha same

Me too

Ha ha That is funny

Agreed 100%! Love Michael.

He has a podcast now. It’s called mr a+.

He is currently starring in Austin on OZ TV.

Yeah. I agree with you. Then he ends up being the but of the joke, which is demeaning.

I know what you mean, but I found myself laughing out loud multiple times and I'm not laughing AT them, it's just that they're SO cute and that's my natural response

I agree. and you can see he starts to get uncomfortable with them laughing

I think he is just genuine and not laughing at him but enjoying him..

Michael is the real deal, so earnest and sincere. The laughter sounded fake, unlike this brilliant young man.

She's on the spectrum to. Do you understand how difficult it is for some people to even have a conversation? Allot of people with autism are completely non verbal. I'd have no problem dating someone who didn't talk allot

Yeah that happens with me and I’m a guy, must be universal I guess

Heather is also on the spectrum and we don't know her experience and how she deals with people. It's still a show and we don't know everything. I wouldn't judge her because of that - I certainly don't like that she kinda ghosted Michael but we don't know the behind the scenes. I noticed that too but I stopped myself from judging further because if there's anything this show helps us do is that.

heather is on the spectrum. sometimes it is hard for us to keep a conversation going! leave her be

Same ❤❤❤

Proud Aussie as well with those two shows going global

Thank you I’m in to

Yah, it bothered me when the audience laughed. I don't think they were intentionally being mean to Michael, but I do think those who laughed don't understand autism and just how serious and literal these people really are.

Yeah I was gonna say that Michael is a fantastic guy, but I can't help but feel he's being infantilized both in the show, and in this interview. As someone with ASD, I can't stand it when people act amazed that I can do regular things, and live a completely normal life. I understand that a Ellen lot of the audience probably mean well, but they need to treat Michael with the same level of respect that they would to a neurotypical individual.

Everyone gets laughed “at” and “with” on the Ellen show. I think people are just giving their natural reactions. It would probably come off fake by not laughing. Also, keep in mind that producers probably are the ones directing the audience when to laugh. There were a couple of awkward silences so the producers probably encouraged the audience to laugh at certain comments to lighten the mood. I think Ellen did a great job interviewing Michael and she was much more serious than her usual interviews when she’s throwing shade at her guests. But, that’s just my opinion…

Yup don't forget producers hold up a "laugh" sign to the audience.

What's FASD stand for?

@@shadowkyber2510 foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (of fetal if you're american lol)

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they just don't understand autism and hadn't seen the show or Michael before.

He is currently starring in Austin on OZ TV. You will love his " smiling eyes and his fluttering eyelids".

Hello there. I'm on Instagram

me too, mainly when he wasn't telling any joke, they weren't laughing with him...
