Hi, I'm Matthew Kenslow and I was born on 7/22/95 in Anaheim.
Newport Harbor High - Class of 2013.
Associate's in Chemistry (OCC).
Bachelor's in Biochemistry (VUSC).
Full Math Teaching Credential.
Master's in Education (VUSC).
Substitute Teacher.
Goal: teach middle school math (maybe science too).
Author of "Juggling the Issues" (2020, 2019) and "Unstoppable" (2023) - River Birch Press.
I enjoy juggling, piano, & memorizing things (e.g., historic dates, periodic table, etc.)
I've been in Royal Rangers (a faith-based scouting/mentoring program) since I was 5. 9/8/13: Awarded the Gold Medal of Achievement (GMA). Earned 96 badges & 9 medals, personally; the prestigious GMA is statistically tougher than the Eagle Scout Award. I've been a commander ever since 9/11/13.
If I can do these things, then YOU can too. I have Autism. Never give up on your passions. My zeal is to help, tutor, encourage, and motivate people however I can - esp. children and the youth.

😂 Comedic Stories LXXXIX - Christmas Whistle Blues
Hi everybody. I'm hoping that this little series of short comedy stories might give people a little laugh. Some may elicit a laugh, whilst other may be funny just to me; hopefully it’s the former and not the latter 😉. My #1 goal is to bring cheer, and hopefully this series can help in that. I plan to upload one comedy video every Monday morning. Any feedback and/or testimonials would be appreciated; I’m not making myself out to be the best storyteller in the world (in this regard, that is). The basis of this is rooted in Proverbs 17:22 and 15:13 in the Bible.

Hey Matt, I wanted to ask you a somewhat controversial question? Do you think Cousin Marriage is normal if it’s between distant cousins? E.g. Second Cousins, Third Cousins?
Fantastic music and beautiful pictures, I wish you a wonderful pre-Christmas period and good health. Best wishes🎄🎄☃☃✨✨
very good 👍
You, you are my substitute and you substitute for my class in the Heights elementary school

HAL LINDSEY, Was Not a Biblical Christian !! But a Biblical HERETIC and Deceiver, and "Pseudo Scholar", that Promoted the JOHN NELSON DARBY FRAUD, called the "PRE-TRIB" RAPTURE !! He Misled Tens of MILLIONS of Christian "BELIVERS" with This FRAUD !! As Such HAL LINDSEY was Preaching "ANOTHER GOSPEL" , according to the Apostle PAUL !! And as PAUL Declared in Gal.1:8-9, HAL LINDSEY is Called "ACCURSED" !! Which FACT is ALSO Attested to in 2.John 9, That; ..."He that TRANSGRESSETH and ABIDETH NOT in the DOCTRINE of CHRIST, Hath Not GOD !! The "Pre-Trib" RAPTURE Theory, is NOT the DOCTRINE of the Apostle PAUL, or the Doctrine of CHRIST !! Therefore, it becomes Clear, from This "Biblical EVIDENCE", that HAL LINDSEY is Now in HELL !! And HAL LINDSEY is Now Receiving His JUST RECOMPENSE of Reward !! IRRESPECTIVE of and, to the Contrary Notwithstanding , of what the Apostate Religious Decievers and Heretics of our Day Profess or Claim !! And, it has come to my attention, that HAL LINDSEY and His Freind CHUCK MISSLER, were Both FREEMASONS !! Now, if that information is True, then THAT Becomes a REAL PROBLEM !! As CHRISTIANITY and FREEMASONRY, are "Mutually EXCLUSIVE" of Each other !! Also, HAL LINDSEY was a CALVINIST !! And CALVINISM is a "Pseudo Religious" CULT, Like the "CATHOLIC CHURCH" !! And has Never been part of TRUE CHRISTIANITY, with their Un-Biblical doctrines of the Acronym of TULIP !! The Apostle PAUL's Doctrine of The "END-Times", which we call ESCHATOLOGY, makes it Clear in 1.Cor.15:50-52, that We as; ... ...."Flesh and Blood human Beings CANNOT INHERIT the Kingdom of GOD" !! As MORTALITY cannot Inherit IMMORTALITY, and CORRUPTION Cannot Inherit INCORRUPTION !! ( Verse 50 ) Then PAUL Declares in Verses 51-52, That; ...."We shall ALL be 'CHANGED', in a moment, in the Twinkling of an Eye, at the LAST TRUMP" !! So Not Only does PAUL Tell us that "WE ALL shall be CHANGED", which Must Include ALL the Tribulation "Martyrs" as well, and They are Not "Made Alive", until the "LAST DAY", of this "Present EVIL AGE". ( Gal.1:4, and Eph.1:21, with Rev.20":4-5, and JN.6:39-40 ) But PAUL Also Tells us that the Time of This "CHANGE" will be at the "LAST TRUMP" !! And Not at ANY TIME "Before" This Time !! Which EXCLUDES the RIDICULOUS "Pre-Trib" Rapture DECEPTION !! Also in 1.Thess.4:16-17, PAUL Confirms that: ..."The DEAD IN CHRIST RISE FIRST", verse 16, ( Which refers to the Second Advent, Rev.20:4-5, and Heb.9:28 ) And in verse 17, Paul States that : ...."We that are Alive and REMAIN, Will Be CAUGHT-UP TOGETHER With THEM" !! ( Together with These DEAD IN CHRIST that will "RISE FIRST" ) Which Again Confirms an End of Tribulation TIME-LINE !! And Connected to that "One-Time EVENT, that PAUL had Declared in 1.Cor.15:51-52, "CHANGE", that "We ALL" will undergo, at the LAST TRUMP !! So You all that ReadThis, do your Own Due Dilligence, in Searching the Sripures, and GET OUT of this "Pre-Trib" DECEPTION !!! Morgan Sorensen ( Biblical Theologian )

very good 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you :)
Went to Israel with him in 1995. I was baptized in the Jordan by him, and helped him Baptize the other people in our Tour Group. Got to know Hal pretty well. I also attended his church in Lomita California (Tetelestai Christian Center). With things the way they are, I believe I will be seeing this "Riverboat Capt." real soon..
That's neat. (And I was born in 1995). I have church family who said that he came over to their place once and had a cordial dinner. I wish I had clear recollections of him, as my mother said that we attended his Thursday tapings quite often (I was the boy at the very beginning of this video, but was three at the time). I do clearly remember other people I've watched live, such as Paul and Jan Crouch, Joyce Meyer, and Kenneth Copeland, back when I was a child.

Duddeee, I feel that
It’s okay Matthew you don’t have to feel awkward 😊
“Saint Julian the Hospitaller” is the Patron Saint of Jugglers and Circus Performers. When you have the time definitely look him up.
Your paraeducator probably realized you were a lot more Intelligent then what the SPED Department thought you were. If I worded this wrong in any way please forgive me it wasn’t my intention.
Hi. Actually, my RSP teacher and history teacher understood me. It was simply that I was talking too much in class and the teacher had only 90 minutes to say everything. He simply did not have time if he wanted to move forward with the unit, which is why he got frustrated that day. What I probably should have done was write down questions and ask him after class, unless I felt that my question might benefit other students.
Hello mr Kenslow..I was in the 5th grade clas when you were subbing!
Hi. It was a pleasure to sub for your class. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving; have a great week.
A great message!
Thank you :)
Happy Thanksgiving Matthew
Thanks. I hope yours was great, too 🦃
It’s due to women having children later that increases the chance of a child having it due to the poorer quality of eggs
it's because of awerness!! more people get diagnosed because more people understand what the problem is. But still over half of people with ASD are undiognosed.
I agree with this. There's more awareness and late-diagnosed individuals.
Yeah Autism is so common now
1 in 36, according to the CDC in March 2023. Plus, more people are being late-diagnosed, which has helped them make sense of their younger lives, according to all the comments I've read.
I think it's gotten better than it was before but im not sure and we still have a long way to go
Yes, awareness has gotten much better, acceptance has increased, inclusion has nearly increased, but still, I dwell that there's still a long way to go. Acknowledging that, I will continue doing whatever I can in spreading awareness through speaking engagement and news/social media :)
Have a great time in the holidays. Thanks for the update 🏴 ❤️
Thank you, and you're welcome.
Do you feel like your Juggling skills could be considered Savant-like?
Hi. I haven't really thought about it like that. I know I'm not the best juggler in the world, based on all the professionals I've seen.
How well is your comprehension/knowledge of Biochemistry and Chemistry?
Well, when I took those classes, I was retaining a lot (especially Chemisty) but 4-8 years later, I would need to review. I believe I still retain a ton of Chemistry knowledge and calculations. I enjoyed Gen-Chem.
@matthewkenslow722 I hope you're having a good day & have a great Thanksgiving.
Thank you. I hope your Thanksgiving was great, too 🦃
I remember.
We are blessed at Lighthouse to have you be a part of our church family.
RIP

0:06 i can see the news playing on the tv in the background
Yes indeed, and not only that, but a high-speed pursuit chase, which had been a norm for decades over here in Southern California; I grew up watching them.
@@matthewkenslow722have you Matt
I know you probably don't react to other people's emergency vehicle videos anymore but I got one I'd like you to react to.
Hi Johnny. Indeed, I simply don't have time anymore like I did from 2021 to early 2023. However, if I ever do have time in a future year (somehow), then I can react to it. I already have just a couple of videos in my playlist of videos to react to, since others have asked after I stopped doing reaction videos. If you provide reply with the link, then I can save it to that playlist and react to it if I start remaking such videos.
Being told my whole life I'm *wrong*. Being made painfully aware of how *different* I am, but no matter how hard I've tried to pretend to be like everyone else, I can't pass as "normal". I've had very few friends. Not even my own family accepted me for me; I was diagnosed so late in my adult life. That much rejection literally my whole life....the hurt never stops hurting. I don't really want to be around people anymore, I'm so tired of rejection. And tired of "normal* people telling me to just keep trying. Just keep learning more ways to mask, more things to pretend, all so everyone else can feel more comfortable around me, while I feel more and more uncomfortable with my pretending. It's not fair, it's not just, it's not right.
Hi, I'm very sorry to hear about your experience, as many of us can and will relate. It sounds really enervating, and personally, it's exhausting just thinking about it, and masking makes it worse. I learned nearly 4 years ago that I shouldn't have to mask. People just need more awareness and then acceptance. I've seen quite an improvement, but obviously, I've noticed that people are still ignorant. That's why I'm doing my part by writing books, speaking around my county, and posting on social media. I hope you have a good Thanksgiving.
This is gonna be weird. But that happens to me too. I still have dreams about particular people from middle school that I never even really spoke to more than a few times. It's really weird. I have no desire to have these dreams or talk to these people. And I sometimes try to consciously tell myself, don't have these dreams, you don't even know these people. But they still happen. I wish my subconscious could put that much effort into making actual friends 🙄
I'm sorry you had a rough start, but everyone deserves a friend. My ❤️ goes out to you.
I appreciate that, thanks.
@matthewkenslow722 I can be your friend. What interests do you have?
Juggling, piano, and math
@matthewkenslow722 I like video games & watching TV (streaming & you tube shorts 😉)
Emotional pain can last a long time i agree
Thanks for sharing 😊 another great update. We call it football here not soccer ⚽ 😅
No problem. I've noticed that over the years. When I took Spanish, I learned that soccer is "el futbol" and football is "el futbol norteamericano."
Hang in there brother. Your a good man.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Decided decade's ago not to maintain friendships outside of family. Just easier that way.
I decided on it a few months ago. Regretfully I do feel alone, because I didn't have a good family dynamic to begin with, but I guess it will get easier.
I had to put my son back in school to connect with people..He is in Elementary as a mom you want to help but and I don't know how.
Hi. A couple of things that I encourage parents/guardians to do is to continue showing love and care to the child, advocate for them early on, teach them how to advocate for themselves if they are able to, and give them a lot of opportunity, per their comfortableness and according to the time they have available (e.g., teaching them life skills, extracurricular activities, sports and/or developing a skill/hobby, etc.). I hope this serves as some piece of advice :)
good sharing 👌 thumb up 👌 👍 hope you are doing well 👍
Thank you. Yes, I'm doing well. And likewise.
I am your student in third grade Jesús 🎉
Hi, It was a pleasure to sub for your class. Have a great week and Thanksgiving.
