AskingAutistics - David Rivera pt 1 - Autism, Echolalia, and Mimicry
Channel: Lyric Rivera - Neurodivergent Rebel
Date: 2023-01-04

I've been thinking about the direction. I want NeuroDivergent Rebel to go in the new year, and we've built this platform that I think is really awesome, but I think it has the potential to be even more awesome. 

As many of you know, the reason I started asking autistic is because I never want my voice to be the only voice that's heard on this platform.

So I ask a lot of questions, hoping that many of you will share your experiences as well. In the new year, I'm hoping to start interviewing other NeuroDivergent voices in the community. 

Today I'm going to start with my first interview, and I'm really, really, really excited about this one. 

As many of you have already might know, my first guest is my husband, the wonderful, talented, and handsome David Rivera. 

This is Pt 1 of the interview with David. Stay tuned for pt 2 next week. 

ID: David, a medium brown skinned human, with long, curly, salt and pepper hair, and Lyric, a pale skinned nonbinary person with short green, teal, and purple hair with shaved sides and jet black roots are sitting on a sofa next to one another in an RV. There is an open window behind them. The words "Autism, Echolalia, and Mimicry" float in front of them in pale teal and green letters.

It's important that we all understand, that as Autistic People, there is not a unified autistic experience. 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 as well, how they relate, and maybe even do not relate 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.
