Lyric, an autistic self-advocate from Texas, runs the the internationally recognized neurodiversity lifestyle blog Neurodivergent Rebel. Neurodivergent Rebel opened their blog in 2016 as a way to introduce people unfamiliar with autism to neurodiversity. Lyric's 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. View all posts by Lyric Holmans
Its a good advice in my opinion, have you ever taken something personally before?
Certainly, much more often when I was younger OR if it is someone I care about – so I care more what they think
We all tend to take things personally in our youth, I have taken things personally before and I’m still young so I have yet to get through it.
Still, it must be tough and lots of people need advice.
