ID: Lyric, a light beige-skinned nonbinary person with longish black hair, dark green ends, and shaved sides, is sitting in an RV with the windows closed behind them. • Patreon members and YouTube channel members had access to this video on Wednesday, May 22, 2024. The video will be released publicly on Friday, June 7, 2024. • Please note this video was supposed to be longer, but my laptop overheated (because I need a new one), ruining the video (messing up the audio in some parts and the video in other parts. That is why this video's last half has many edits and chops because I don't know what happened to the footage. • Autism influences most things in my life, who I socialize with, the types of relationships I have, how I process information and my experience of the world around me. • Autism is tied into my hobbies, passions, interests, communication style and habits. It’s interwoven into how I interpret and fit within social contexts, structures, and hierarchies. • That’s why I say I am Autistic, instead of that I am “a person with autism” – because, for me, “with autism” sounds minimal for something so integral to my being. • Autism is NOT a separate thing that I “take with me” or something I can lave behind when I venture out (even if I wanted to). • Autism is not something I have “with” me. Autism IS me. • If I were not Autistic, I would literally not be the same person. • Believe it or not, I like the person I am (NOT despite being Autistic, but BECAUSE of my Autistic mind). • Like with everything else, being Autistic has fundamentally shaped how I relate to gender, since gender is a social construct (and social constructs are one of those things that Autistic People don’t always fit neatly within). • For me, being Autistic means, I am willing to examine these social constructs under a magnifying glass, including gender and sexuality. • I don’t fit into the box. I make my own box. I am the square peg that can’t be put through the round hole (without damaging the peg) - and my experience of gender is no different. • Link to the Substack post this video is based on: https://neurodivergentrebel.substack.... • Half-Priced Low-Income Substack Subscription Available • If you are in need of a discount, please use the link below to get your subscription at a deep discount (because I don't want money to be an obstacle to people): • https://neurodivergentrebel.substack.... • For readers experiencing financial hardship, please note that this offer is exclusively for you.

We all have different opinions and very different experience, and I think it's great to share those things. • If you're a NeuroTypical watching, remember that this is just my experience as a NeuroDivergent Person. • Hopefully, this video will inspire other NeuroDivergent People to share their experiences and how they relate, and maybe even do not, in the comments below. • I encourage you to listen to and read as many Autistic experiences as possible to best understand Autistic People. • I would LOVE to see more Autism vlogs by #ActuallyAutistic People. • SUBSCRIBE SUPPORT: • / neurodivergentrebel https://neurodivergentrebel.substack.com • https://www.paypal.me/NeurodivergentR... • Transcriptions CC for all NEW videos are available at: • http://www.neurodivergentrebel.com • Other Links: • www.neurodivergentconsulting.org • www.facebook.com/NeurodivergentRebel • www.threads.net/@neurodivergentrebel • www.instagram.com/NeurodivergentRebel • www.tiktok.com/@.neurodivergentrebel
