Teo Tish from Love On The Spectrumhas been busy building her social media empire since filming wrapped. The Netflix show follows the dating lives of several autistic people and endeavors to show the pros and cons of their adventures. The show returned for a second season in August, and Teo joined the cast for the first time. Other cast members like Love On The Spectrum‘s Michael Thomas have returned for a second season. Producers found Teo at her “crib,” with a cat-themed pirate flag soaring above it.
Teodora, more commonly known as Teo, was adopted from Romania at an early age and then lived half her life in Texas before moving to Australia. Teo is 22 and lives with autism, anxiety, and ADHD. To decompress, she loves to collect sticks and count truck wheels. She also dyed her dog Lexie’s hair pink to match her own. A quote from Tina Fey, “do your thing and don’t care if anyone likes it,” hangs in her bedroom. Like her idol Tina, Teo is as hilarious as other Love On The Spectrum cast members. When it comes to finding love, Teo told the show’s relationship coach, Judie Rogers, “my biggest fear is going on the wedding day, on the aisle, if I leave them, or they leave me.” Judi responded that Teo didn’t need to think so far ahead about an impending breakup.
Since filming Love on The Spectrum, Teo has connected with her fans on social media. She has one exceptional fan that she chose to spotlight. When she found out that the queen of reality TV, Kim Kardashian, was a fan of the show, she posted a screenshot of Kim’s story, which she clearly thought was amazing. Teo loves Kim and Taylor Swift despite their feud. The clashing of the pop culture icons doesn’t seem to bother her. She is also a fangirl of the sibling rock duo Clews, an indie band from Sydney, Australia.

More recently, Teo started promoting her new Cameo account. On Cameo, Teo is excited to talk to her fans about Tina Fey and her dating life. She joked that it could be nonexistent at times. So far, Teo has posted Cameos wishing some fans happy anniversaries and sent love from one partner to another, much like a radio announcer. On her Cameo journey, she’s connected with many new people, including some dog lovers.
While Love On The Spectrum has happy endings, some cast members don’t find love. Many reviewers call the series the most authentic dating show, but some autistic people have called out the series for its neurotypical lens. While it may be some time before autistic showrunners get a chance to tell their own stories with an emphasis on agency, Teo’s expanded media engagement is nonetheless as entertaining as any reality star’s post-production glow-up.
