It seems the term 'neurospicy' is very triggering for the community. Some love it, some hate it. But who has enough spare Fs to care so much? 🤷‍♂️ Personally, I prefer the term NeuroBitter™️. That's definitely much more my flavour of neuro-ness. 😈🖤 #actuallyautistic #autisticlife #neurodiversity

Traditional theatre can have (real or perceived) barriers to entry like price, location, even an intimidating atmosphere. But helping people access it more easily can potentially overcome some of those potential issues, IMHO. So roll on more filmed theater! 🎭🎥 #theatre #acting #actorslife

While there are many, possibly more pressing, issues we should be tackling right now, can we just gawk for one moment at the fact that the BBC is covering, totally straight faced, news on the release of UFO documents. Strange times indeed! 👽 #history #ufo #aliens #distractions #strangetimes

Gamers with autism. Does trying to sort your games collection into neatly clear and concise genres cause you to lose your f****** mind like I am doing right now? 🤬 If so, how do you cope? Please let me know before I delete my entire Steam library. 😭 #gaming #Steam #actuallyautistic #autisticlife

"I Don't Know If You'll Ever Find That One." Say what you want about living in an almost digital-only age, but I think it's unlikely media will ever be lost again. Once something is out there, it's pretty much out of there for good (or bad, as the case may be!) 🕹️ #gaming #retrogaming #digitallife

🧐 I don't understand. Maybe because I'm poor. Maybe because I already have too many controllers. Maybe because I'm autistic. Maybe all three. But why are people paying $200 for a $100 controller? And why are people upset they couldn't get one? Maybe just... wait? 🤔 #steam #gaming #ebay

After I bought my Steam Deck last year, I told myself I'd never need another handheld. And I don't. But. But. But... I WANT A PORTABLE C64 SO BAD!! 😱😱 Why are they limited to 2000 units?! 😭😭 #gaming #retrogaming #C64 #neversaynever

"I would hate to buy the game on my PS5, spend hundreds of hours in the main story... only to be locked out of it all when the game eventually comes to PC." So...just wait until the game comes to PC? 🤷‍♂️ Why are gamers all in such a hurry these days? Why the rush to play? 🤔 #GTA #gaming #oldgamer

Spring 2016. What a lifetime ago (though honestly, right now 2025 seems like a lifetime ago! 😂) Working as an actor on 'Wild Cards' was fantastic and based on the ending, it really deserved a sequel. 😎 Maybe one day...? 👀👀 #actorslife #moviesky #behindthescenes #filmsky #filmmakering

"...the government's U-turn is a "humiliating climb-down" that showed MPs "know they can no longer defend the indefensible"... ...Is What Starmer said when Boris faced a similar vote. And that hypocrisy is sickening. 🤬 So we know what we need to do! ✅ @greenparty.org.uk #UK #politics #VoteGreen

First the planned global rollout of age verification, now this? Ugh. **** that. 🤬 Bad quality games almost killed the games industry in the 80s. Now DRM BS could have the same effect on gaming in the 20s. 🪦 Screw Sony. Mini PC + @gog.com installs = FTW! 🎉 #gaming #playstation #DRM #autisticgaming

I'm saying no to work, interviews, social events. Everything. I don't have the strength.🌻 Only been attending dog adoption events, where I can meet beautiful dogs like Pixel. If I can comfort dogs like him, maybe it will help comfort me as well. 🤗🐶 #dogs #adoptdontshop #dogsky #actuallyautistic

I’m an actor who also happens to have autism. And no, it doesn’t constrain me. If anything, it lifts my craft higher. 🌻🎭 #actorslife #filmsky #art #autisticartist #actuallyautistic #autismawareness

IS this the weirdest audition I've ever done? I dunno. But it's certainly up there! 😂😂 Either way, it's roles like this that make me so excited to do more shorts and student films. Bring them on! 🎭 #actorslife #selftape #audition #moviesky #filmsky #wig #autisticartist #actuallyautistic

Fair play to the British government. This 100% needed to be done. 👏🏽👏🏽 🚨 Now can we ban sugar? Possibly* the most toxic substance available for consumption today. ☠️ Hopefully one day. 🔥 #Britishpolitics #Health #Food news.sky.com/story/everyo... *Not a fact, but a pretty safe assumption. 🤷‍♂️

Unless it's for work, I leave the house as little as possible these days. 🛋️📺 But when I do go out, it's only to go somewhere that's either for a good cause, super relaxing, or has something nom to eat. Luckily, Beijing has lots of both! 🥧🤤 #ActorsLife #StreetPhotography #Food #ActuallyAutistic

In an ideal world, there are no labels. Yet, here we are. 🤷‍♂️ So call me autistic, different, or unique. Just don’t get it wrong. Because the wrong label doesn’t just describe me… it can change how people see me.🌻 #ActuallyAutistic #DailyAutism #AutismAwareness #Neurodiversity #HiddenDisability

“If all we make is known, branded IP, we’re going to run out of gas." You know what else should be invested in? New faces. Relying on the same stars is just as bad as relying on the same stories. So trust your audiences won't run out the door. Find fresh faces! 🙋🏽 #FilmSky #Moviesky #Actorslife

And yet, seemingly no mention (at least so far) of cutting salaries of top BBC stars. 🤔 The BBC is a global institution which seems to have been run into the ground by terrible choice after terrible choice. Want to turn it around? Cut star salaries before cutting staff! #BBC #SaveStaffNotStars

In AJ's Awesome Opinion™️ Earth would instantly become a better place if we all identified as, and identified others as, human, before any other labels. Closing our eyes to our similarities, and the desire to identify differences between us, is a big part of the Them vs Us problem we face, IMHO.

No. If Starmer gets his way, future generations won't remember us at all. There will be nothing left to remember. 📚🔥💻☠️ #Room101 #TheReal1984 #FreeSpeech #Censorship #UKPolitics

Could I play more than just tough guy roles? 🤔 I think actors should be adaptable, ready to become whatever type of character is needed. But I've heard from people recently that I'm not suitable for 'softer' roles. Watch the video and tell me what you think! 😁 #actorslife #filmsky #moviesky #art

I'm usually underwhelmed by short films. I appreciate the effort that goes into them, but the results often leave a lot to be desired. But not here. This genuinely had me on edge and queasy for 10 minutes. Writing. Music. Lighting. Acting. All 10/10. Go watch it! 🔥 #filmsky #moviesky #mustwatch

"No one will ever vote the Greens into power." Why? Because the traditional parties have given us such a wonderful world? 💚 F*** the Status Quo. 💚 F*** not rocking the boat. 💚 F*** respecting norms. We get the future we want, not by accepting what is, but by building what we need. Let's go!

Spring is practically knocking on the door, so it felt like the perfect moment to share these winter photos before they officially become… seasonally inappropriate. 😂 #streetphotography #art #photos #streetlife #actorslife #actuallyautistic

When you have no answers, the only option is to silence those who are asking you questions. #IranWar #UKPolitics #VoteGreen #ShareYourVoice

The more they attack @zackpolanski.bsky.social, the more you know he is doing right. 💚 F*** the Sun. 💚 F*** horse racing. 🌱 Go Green. #GoGreen #voteGreen #GreenParty #Politics

For a long time, I believed I was being weak. And others told me the same. But it's not weakness. It's just me and people like me trying to process a world demanding too much of our autistic brains. And sometimes, that's just overwhelming. 🌻 #autism #autismawareness #mentalhealth #autisticartist

"Her co-star then halted production and became “combative with the director” over the moment." What. The. Actual. ****?! 😡 Munn doesn't mention names so it's only her side of the story. But if accurate, what an unprofessional dick hat that guy was! #actorslife #moviesky #filmsky #disrespect

It’s always a nice feeling when actors spot themselves on screen… but I wasn’t expecting to find three of my films playing on the same flight! 🤣 Thanks Hainan Airlines! 😜 #actorslife #moviesky #filmsky #travel #actuallyautistic

"There is no blanket solution when it comes to dealing with items seized by colonial powers." The article is behind a paywall, unfortunately. But "no blanket solution"? Sure there is. Was it stolen/seized/confiscated/? Then you return it. See. Simple blanket solution. 🤷‍♂️ #simplesolutions #art

You matter ✅ You're here for a reason ✅ Find that reason ✅ Do your bit...❔ What if 'my reason' is to make people smile, but everyone just keeps turning away. 🥺 Then what? 🧐 #actorslife #art #showerthoughts #wronglife #thoughtoftheday #actuallyautistic

I'm not sure people should say "But you're an adult" to anyone. It's not like 'an adult' is a standard measure like 1cm or 1kg. What does it even mean? 😂 IMHO, if you're not actively trying to hurt or offend anyone, everyone should just be able to be themselves. 🔥 #ActuallyAutistic #AdultLife

Why I love living in an art village, reason #1052 There’s always a new place to grab coffee! 🤩 Oh, and apparently our village has some new artwork on the walls as well. Who knew?! 🧑🏽‍🎨 PS. Wife knew. In fact… everyone knew. Except me. 🤷‍♂️🌻 #art #coffee #actorslife #actuallyautistic #streetphotography

It's NEVER about screen time. It's ALWAYS about how truthfully and powerfully you affect the audience watching you. 🔥🎭 #filmsky #actorslife #NoSmallRoles #Art

Personally I prefer 'awareness', as I feel 'acceptance' means to accept the status quo. But, potatoes/potAToes. If it helps people learn, understand and embrace it's good in my book. ✊🏽🌻 #actuallyautistic #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autism www.autismparentingmagazine.com/autism-accep...

If someone looks like they’re okay, smiling, functioning, getting on with things, it might be real. But it might also be an involuntary performance. Never assume you know the difference. 🌻 #AutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodiversity #InvisibleDisability #MentalHealthAwareness

2 personal audition invitations in the space of 1 week? That's not bad for me! 😎 At the end of the day, I didn't get either role, but I got to practice, learn and (hopefully) improve. So I'll take that as a win! 🔥 #actorslife #audition #selftape #autisticartist

"...adult-focused #autism research and services matter now more than ever." 🔼 This. ❤️🌻 #autisticlife #autist #NDlife #autismacceptance

Our first Paws Love event of 2026! 🐕❤️ Paws Love is a volunteer group in Beijing focused on finding foster & forever homes for stray and abandoned animals. Truly the world is a better place because groups like Paws Love (and all those like them) exist. 🤗🐶 #dogslife #adoptdontshop #doggo #furbabies

“As actors, we get to live many lives. We get to explore ideas that affirm and elevate our shared experience." So very, very well said. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #actorslife #acting #art #truth

Haven’t heard back from me? Don’t assume I hate you! 🤐 Sometimes silence isn’t what it looks like from the outside. 🌻 #AutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodiversity #AutismLife #InvisibleDisability

Hidden Wolf King: A Hybrid Loser (yep...) is now streaming on NetShort. And from what I understand, it's doing well. 😎 Working with great people, in interesting locations and with a... script. Yep, it was definitely an interesting experience! 🤪 #actorslife #microdrama #werewolves #acting

European TV Production's Downward Trend the New Normal Lots of gloom in this article. But for my own sanity, I'm just gonna focus on a single sentence! “TV series will survive and will hopefully thrive more than they do right now.” - CEO of Norway’s Maipo Film #actorslife #art #TV #streaming

Gosh I love Xintiandi in Foshan (in China's Guangdong Province)! 😍 Very much my kind of place! Interesting, colourful, cultured and vibrant (with great food!), without being overwhelming or too much of any one thing. 🌈 Hope to be back ASAP! 😎 #Foshan #China #Travel #Art #ActuallyAutistic #Autism

The reaction when I tell people... ‘But you don’t *look* autistic.’ I also don’t look diabetic. 💉 Or asthmatic. 🫁 Or like I have an IQ of 143. 🖖🏽 Autism doesn’t have a ‘look’. It shows up differently in everyone. That's why it's called a spectrum.🌻 #AutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic #Actorslife

In Foshan, China, hosting a documentary about the furniture industry here. Not my usual genre, but I've at least had a chance to explore some of the scenic and cultural areas here. So grateful to have these opportunities to live and learn! 🙏🏽 #China #Travel #Actorslife #Art #Actuallyautistic

Thanks to Mina & JingKids for the opportunity to talk about my career, why I love acting and challenges I face. I'm not influential, but if my words inspire even a single person to follow their dreams, then it's worth sharing ☺️ www.beijing-kids.com/blog/2026/03... #actorslife #inspiration #autism

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” Samuel Beckett A recent audition asking me to 'wear hair' was one of my worst ever. Obviously I didn't get cast. But I learned & I'm getting better at failure. I'll take that as a win. 😎 #actorslife #audition #artist #autism

Off to Foshan, Guangdong Province! ✈️ First time wearing an ASD lanyard. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Maybe I just need time to get used to being even more 'stand out' than usual! 🥸 Anyone else travelling with one of these? 🌻 #Actorslife #Autism #HiddenDisabilities #AutismAcceptance
