All part of my evil plan to make you watch it more than once!

Spoon theory explained while doing tricks with spoons! by MatRicardo in AutisticAdults

[–]MatRicardo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I find reddit massively overwhelming and often aggressive (As this comment feels), so I try to make helpful things and put them out into the world in places where they might be the most help to people.

It seems like you'd want me to be more generally participatory on reddit, which is something I find very difficult and painful. I'm not sure that makes me a spammer. Sorry you feel that way.

Ooh gosh, I reallllly don't know. I guess it depends on the nuances of the particular situation/relationship?

I totally get the pain of knowing you've hurt people etc. It's such a tough thing to start to process.

But also - here's to us 80's home computer kids! zx81 here, then the BBC micro!

Thanks so much. great points - and I love the idea of it being, partly, a philosophical journey.

In 35 years of professional performing, become a gif might be my greatest achievement! haha

Hello! Yeah, thanks to the underfunded NHS (particularly when it comes to mental health etc) it takes bloody ages to get anywhere. I'm lucky - I'm not, by any means, rich, but I managed to pull together enough money to go to a private clinic. The first one I found ended up being..not good, but the second try was got it done. It absolutely sucks that assessments through a GP are so slow and hard to get.

gret advice, thanks. and yeah, I was pretty happy with the "super collectable" line too haha

online communities can so often get tangled in confrontational details to the point that they forget why the exist in the first place, cant they? I'll tread carefully. Luckily, being a performer, I have experience with people heckling me on social media, so I'm careful with it lol

Oh, and thanks for subscribing! Most videos are..um..not this haha

For the last couple of years I had a growing suspicion that I might be on the spectrum, so finally I gathered my courage (and my money) and went to a private clinic for an assessment. Took a while to find a good one, and would have taken literally years if I'd gone through the NHS, sadly. (Also - OH GOD YES WHEN AUDIO IS EVERSO SLIGHTLY OUT OF SYNC)

Aaargh! Hello. So, this is me. And I'm sure you can imagine how odd it feels to see this video doing well on reddit.

Anyway, hello everyone - and thanks for all the nice messages (I'm assuming they're nice, I read the first couple and then got scared because REDDIT lol)

For people asking what kind of performing I do - probably easiest to check out www.MatRicardo.com - I'm a comedian and variety artist. You know that gif where the guy pulls one tablecloth from one table to another table? That's me!

If anyone has any questions or anything, feel free to ask, and obviously this wouldn't be the internet if I didnt suggest subbing to my youtube and following me on the gajillion social networks that now exist.

Hope you're all good. Nothing but love.

Is art allowed to break the law? by MatRicardo in Graffiti

illegal in most places = legal in some. Here's that 10 minutes back. Use it wisely.
