You may know Michael Theo as the breakout star of the reality show ‘Love on the Spectrum Australia,’ where he and other young people with autism navigated the dating scene. He didn’t come away with a girlfriend, but he captured the hearts of countless people, including Ricki herself. Michael and Ricki chat about dating advice, how Michael continues to advocate for the neurodivergent community worldwide, and his new buzzy comedy series, ‘Austin.’
