Hi everyone, I'm Michael Theo and I'm an
ambassador for International Day of
People with Disability. Ever since I've
appeared on Love on the Spectrum, a lot
of people in the autistic and challenge
communities seem to view me as a
inspiration, which still still kind of
surprises me to this day. And I
sometimes get stopped in public by
people and some of them even ask for a
selfie which I always allow because it
puts a smile on their face and it makes
their day.
As society, we have to accommodate for
all kinds of people whether we're
neurodiverse or not. We're still just
people at the end of the day. I want the
same things as everybody else.
Financial freedom, financial security, a
loving partner to share my life with.
Community means when everybody in the
world from all walks of life come
together and unite as one. A lot of
friends that I made in high school have
all come and gone, but some people have
chosen to stick by me, and I'm really
grateful for that. I would say to people
in the autistic and challenged
communities that find what makes you
happy. Surround yourself with people
that actually bring the best out of you.
Everyone's different. We're not made to
be uniform. If we were all uniformed,
the world would not be an interesting
place.
