I LOVE a good plan. I’m a planner. Sometimes it hurts when unforeseen kinks appear in my plans. This week I talk about some things I do to manage my own expectations, in case things don’t go exactly the way I plan them.

Christa Holmans, an autistic self-advocate from Texas, runs the the internationally recognized neurodiversity lifestyle blog Neurodivergent Rebel. Neurodivergent Rebel opened her blog in 2016 as a way to introduce people unfamiliar with autism to neurodiversity. Her blog, which is sometimes released in written format and also via YouTube video, explores the ideology of neurodiversity and the creative expressions of autistic people. Holmans’ blog pushes for acceptance of neurological differences and respect for the autonomy of neurodivergent people. Holmans is also known as the pioneer of the #askingautistics hashtag, which is often accompanied by a short question about everyday autistic experiences. This simple hashtag connects neurodivergent people who would not otherwise have a reason to engage with each other to foster understanding of the autistic experience.

Love the tittle. Expectations have been the underline concept of on of the last blogs I read. It was pretty good: here it was https://nfb.org/images/nfb/publications/fr/fr36/3/fr360305.htm

Thank you for liking my blog; the feeling is mutual! Great insight into an important topic. Shakespeare said “Expectation is the root of all heartache.”

Well said, and perhaps just the inspiration I need to keep moving forward, growing and embracing the next few stages in my own journey.
