Everyone struggles in different areas. That is just part of being human. This week’s video talks about some of the reasons I’m a mess.

Lyric Rivera, the creator of Neurodivergent Rebel and founder of Neurodivergent Consulting, is a late-identified Autistic and ADHD adult. Lyric is best known for their blog, NeuroDivergent Rebel, and for the best-selling business ethics book, Workplace Neurodiversity Rising (which was praised in Forbes as “an excellent ‘how to manual’ based on lived Experience and professional competence.”) Other titles Lyric has worked on include the popular children's workbook Autism, Identity, and Me (adult version coming soon), and Neurodivergent Rebel's The Weight of Normal (released this past fall). The philosophy of Neurodivergent Consulting is to support the creation of accessible workplaces and other spaces (via universal design) that enable Neurodivergent (and all) people to fully realize their unique talents and fresh perspectives through care and support of the whole person. This allows us to bring our full selves to the spaces we enter. Lyric is also known as the creator of the #AskingAutistics hashtag, which often features 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 create a better understanding of the Autistic experience.

Haha. We are a mess in our own ways. I can’t begin to tell you how messy I am. Most of them are linked to clumsiness and forgetfulness lol.
Glad I’m not the only one…lol. Yes, putting things in a ‘safe place’. Not a good idea. We need a ‘safe place’ log book that is tied down like my computer password book. Now, if we could only remember to write things in it…
Just lost my keys too. Actually, my Aspie son used them and left them in the ignition of our truck for a few days. I asked him if he knew where they were…he answered no, even though I kept going on and on about how I’d lost my keys and how could I have done that?
After I found them he remembered he was the culprit.
I often have a selection of random bruises and scrapes and usually have no recollection of how I got them. My many autopilot moments.
I guess my comment is: Everyone suffers on the inside.
I thought you were cool at first but now you kind of seem like a normal person. I understand this would/could be construed as aggression and I haven’t really planned out a response for that but in any case you should take care of your image more: it’s kind of harmful. Again, an innocent statement bastardized by society and it’s completely my fault. Well in any case. So it goes unspoken.
