This week I’m speaking on a more serious topic.

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.

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
