These people are experts at gaslighting also. You wind up questioning your own thoughts and perceptions. They’re psychic vampires, draining your energy and your joy.
“I carefully guard my inner circle.” I’m the same way. I’ve known too many narcissistic users like this in my lifetime, unfortunately. The best personal freedom is learning how to eliminate them from my life–and, if they are family, learning how to continue to love them and not give them any more power over me. Great video and I love that you do it from your RV (fellow full-time RVer here). I recently ran across your blog and can’t wait to catch up. Dawn
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.
