He needs his own show

[@elijones920]

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

[@kekepanther8639]

Im back again i just can't get enough of this guy. Michael is such an inspiration to me and truly gives me joy. 😊

[@EnviousBorzoi]

This guy is a pure gem. Love him!

[@ladylynnmaree]

I’m so happy the rest of the world is getting to see this beautiful show.. “Love On The Spectrum” Enjoy everyone. ❤️🇦🇺

[@cobykonneor]

As a fellow aspie... I love how he's always so well put together and polite. Any woman would be lucky to have him. Good luck Michael! Can't wait to see you find your perfect person :)

[@FranMSK]

The laughing sort of sums up the issue I have with Love on The Spectrum- I know they weren't being cruel, but they need to remember, Michael isn't joking. He's being honest.

[@srldwg]

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

[@Amero2323]

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

[@queenofcrows21]

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

[@vickie30]

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

[@59markr]

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

[@lauriegough5865]

Did anyone else notice that on Season 2 when Michael dates Heather, that it’s Michael that is asking ALL the questions and doing all the work of conversation? I re-watched it and it’s true. Heather doesn’t ask Michael a single question, ever. What a lot of work that would be for anyone to keep a conversation going. Good for you, Michael! Obviously you’re much better off with someone who knows how to reciprocate and ask YOU questions about interesting self. Your special someone is out there somewhere. You are a lovely gem!

[@ianwilson1709]

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

[@masteroogway5274]

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

[@anamariamariut3815]

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.

[@iminaband3351]

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

[@atonement7232]

I love how ‘Love on the Spectrum’ is teaching us all who didn’t already know about Aspergers. It’s a fascinating insight, I am surprised at how different everyone is with their Aspergers, the spectrum is obviously very big. It’s a wonderful education, and I really appreciate it. Everyone on the show is so beautiful. This is an Iconic show! I recommend everyone to watch it!

[@katianunez7987]

Michael is my favorite from Love on the Spectrum!

[@emmalove5080]

I have autism as well and finding a lifetime partner is one of my goals ❤️😁

[@manuella218]

Same ❤❤❤

[@padmashreeramamurthy]

Michael is lovely, the show was heartwarming !

[@SonjaDawn]

How can you not love Michael! There are a couple of great Aussie shows on Netflix, Wentworth is another one. Proud to be an Aussie.

[@BangersTheBraeds]

Proud Aussie as well with those two shows going global

[@fabulousw]

I love the show Love on a Spectrum......It makes my heart feel so good and there's some sweet chuckles...I have 4 family members who are on the spectrum and the cast reminds me so much of my cousins :-)

[@HannahCM134]

Michel is literally my favorite human he is so kind and funny and so sweet ✨😆

[@xi-8840]

Now that is a gentleman. His tips are for all and are received graciously by me. He’s such a joy to watch. They all are. I love this show. Thank you Ellen for spotlighting this amazing group

[@Dan5819]

I wish all men could follow Michael's dating advice about paying attention to your date to see if she is interested in the subject.

[@chantalbarnard7624]

I loved the show, Michael is my favorite. He is such a gentleman and his family are so awesome too.

I have FASD, which is also a spectrum disorder. I have a lot of traits of ASD. We don’t get enough recognition but I feel like we’re coming close with showing the world what it’s like to have autism!

[@Zizzyrae]

I freaking love Micheal

[@willbancovich1957]

Great tips and advice, thankyou Michael.

[@elijahbenedict1782]

Does anyone else feel like some of the people who laughed were kinda laughing at him more than with him? Especially when he was explaining dating points

[@Rae8Anne]

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.

[@mattdelson3264]

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.

[@prtdiva]

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…

[@beazuzmcceasar22]

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

[@TheRoarWithin]

I love him so much.

[@Johanna-qf1yx]

His voice is amazing !! Someone give him a job !!

[@shivanixdesai]

This video was so lovely to watch

Love Michael..I hope he finds someone

[@sociologica4247]

Love Michael!!

[@christopherpoon5158]

Seems like there are a lot of people who are laughing at him, not with him.

[@Rae8Anne]

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.

[@blinkblink6777]

We need more burning questions

[@palomasalcedo6485]

This is a great show

[@Gypsyg17]

Love Michael

[@maneeshpalackalunni23]

[@dayab1707]

I didn't like the laughing he wasn't being humorous or funny he was talking seriously so the laughing wasn't nice at all!

I got mild autism with few other mental health issues. asd and stuff but Micheal does better then me in the dating, I watched the show lol

[@maxaustin3377]

Not a fan of the dating pointers from his brother but am a fan of Michael

[@lynnpatenaude5548]

I feel like Ellen did this interview to laugh at him!

[@queenofcrows21]

I really don't like how everyone's laughing at everything he says. You can him getting uncomfortable as they laugh

[@russellalfonso2962]

I am a little uncomfortable with the audience laughing as much as it did.

[@ana.5687]

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

[@Blobbyrob54]

This seems a bit exploitative, I’m not sure how much I like Ellen and the audience laughing after some of Michael’s answers….

[@nobodysperfect06]

So I take it that he has struggled with dating
