I thought I knew what success was... but then I became successful | Michael Theo | TEDxSydney

- After being cast on a reality TV show to find love, Michael Theo instead found something entirely different. Looking back on an incredible few years, Michael reflects on the importance of embracing risk, despite having autism, and why we should take a chance on the unexpected. Michael Theo, otherwise known as ‘Mr A+’ instantly captured the hearts & minds of audiences across the globe on Netflix’s ‘Love On The Spectrum’ with his dapper style, unintentionally hilarious one-liners, and warm personality. Though most well known for his work on the ABC and Netflix Series, Michael is so much more than his TV persona. A passionate animal activist, railway enthusiast, podcaster, and aspiring actor, Michael is a strong believer it's our differences that make us special. He has used both his online platforms and widely successful podcast, Mr A+, to create a safe space to express & celebrate these differences. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
This guy looks like a A+ partner.
Wow Michael is so good at public speaking. Much better than a lot of neurotypical people
Michael is on the true path of self-discovery and independence. This will make him a better partner in the long run, so it makes sense that he's not trying to push for a relationship right now. I'm so happy for him that his world is opening up.
Most dapper young man I've seen in awhile ❤️ his mom is a blast too
His mom reminds us that it's ok to just laugh. That's why I loved her. She didn't take anything too seriously and she just always laughed at the absurdity of it all. I loved that about her. Sometimes things don't have to be so dire and serious.
You can say that again!
I love this guy. I wish I had a friend like him ❤️
You ARE somebody, Michael. Somebody Wonderful 🌹
Genuinely unreal opening
Some lady is going to be so lucky to be Michael's partner. He is so awesome
He's a charming young man and if finding love is still his goal, I hope he succeeds!
I’m so proud of you Michael 💜
I do hope that Michael does find a beautiful girl at some point in the future. Dating is hard for everyone, even if you aren't on the spectrum, and almost all people have experienced rejection and heartbreak.
I am glad to see that Michael is thinking of other ways to use his newfound fame from the show. Doing a Ted Talk was a great idea!
He is a very likeable human being with a great sense of humor. Here's to hoping he continues to find success in his life!
We love you Michael!!!! I am so in awe of your courage, determination, and aspirations. There’s something exceptionally special about you and now the world is getting to know you and your big heart. ❤️. Your special lady is out there, I have no doubt in my mind. She’s becoming herself, and taking the steps on her pathway that eventually will bring her to you. Two diamonds growing ever more brilliant.
But it seems you’ve already discovered, you can create your own happiness, with or without love.
Thank you for being true to yourself and for inspiring ME to follow my dreams.
Gratefully

Keep punching legend.
True performer, he is great!
Excellent speech Michael!
His Parents have done an amazing job.
When I heard their interview on No Filter with Mia Freedman and the Mum talks about leaving this earth hence she raised him to learn Nero typical traits plus be independent; I nearly cried. However, this is a celebration of life: Michael !🎉
Ohhh I bloody love Micheal
Very inspiring, Michael! Thank you for sharing your life experience!!
God bless you, Michael 🙏🏻💖🪷
Your success is very inspiring to me ✨🌀👍🏻
I remember when I went to school with his younger brother Adam. Michael was always such a good guy I’m hoping he finds love
Wonderful presentation
I traveled from the U.S. to Germany and the prospect of getting lost, or not knowing the language was nerve-racking the whole time.
Michael, you are my favorite 'character' on LOTS. I believe you could travel the world giving inspirational speeches like this. I'm looking forward to listening to your podcast!
You and your family are the best! Thank you!!

michael for president
I saw this dude on Netflix
The goat

Wow
I don’t think this guy realizes that by doing what he’s doing and being the best version of himself like he’s doing he’s liable to find a awesome girlfriend or possible wife as well. It’s counter intuitive because I think for many people who are on the spectrum they lean in heavily to whatever they’re interested in and if they just work insanely hard at it it works out. That’s an awesome gift in many ways but it’s hard because it doesn’t work that way always for finding a partner. But I think with what he’s doing I feel really optimistic that he will find somebody who’s really great(and be successful as just an individual as well)
Where can I find his podcast? Woukd love to listen!

His mum cracked me up
Wait he didn’t find love on the show? SPOILER ALERT! 😂
But in all honestly though, glad to hear he is growing as a human being and walking along this journey call life, we are all in it with ya man. Cheers to all ;)
