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.

Lyric Rivera, an Autistic self-advocate from Texas, runs the the internationally recognized neurodiversity lifestyle blog Neurodivergent Rebel. Neurodivergent Rebel was opened in 2016, as a way to introduce people unfamiliar with autism to neurodiversity. The 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. Riveras’ blog pushes for acceptance of neurological differences and respect for the autonomy of neurodivergent people. Lyric 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 neurodiverse people who would not otherwise have a reason to engage with each other to foster understanding of the autistic experience. View all posts by Lyric Holmans
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.
