R​ichard From 'The Undateables' Is On Instagram And His Account Is Amazing

For some of his first posts, Richard teamed up with a friend to discuss and raise awareness of autism, ADHD and anxiety.

Richard Lawrence is easily one of the standout stars of hit Channel 4 reality show The Undateables, which follows 'people with challenging conditions who are looking for love'.

In another, he says: "I can't help the way I am, the way I behave around other people. I kind of feel like they're sort of winding me up on purpose sometimes, and that might not be the case. It's just the way I am."

As soon as fans caught wind of his move to the popular social media site, they were eager to spread the news:

Since those earlier posts, he's also shared talking head-style videos, in which he responds to fans' questions or cracks jokes.

In one, he even explains that if he gets another thousand follows, he'll post a video of him doing the famous muscle trick.

In others, he also taps into that common Instagram trait of sharing what you're eating.

"Food fit for a legend," he says in a video from earlier this month, showing us a plate of chilli con carne with rice. "And before we go any further: no, I'm not a pig - I just like to eat a lot. That's all it is."

Same, Richard, same.

In another, he shows us his breakfast of porridge oats in milk. He explains that it's actually on the menu for the following morning, but is preparing it now to save time later - meaning he's already smashed overnight oats, another Insta-classic.

"It's only about 2 o'clock in the afternoon at present, so I've put a bit of milk on it now, but I'm not going to be eating here tonight so I thought I'd prepare it now. Saves me having to mess about doing it later on."

Definitely beats our photos of avocado on toast and endless memes.

Good on him for using Instagram as a platform to spark discussion about what it's like living with Asperger's Syndrome - peppered with a few jokes along the way. What a guy.
