Shame Kills -  Autism, NeuroDivergence, Pride, & Shame
Channel: Lyric Rivera - Neurodivergent Rebel
Date: 2022-04-13

Shame is defined as a painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming, or perceived impropriety. That is one definition talking about how shame is experienced from the inside.

However, I want to talk more about having shame that is put on you from society and people around you; shame that is unjustified, that many NeuroDivergent, LGBTQIA, and other marginalized people may feel, and the impact that shame has on those of us who are in those groups.

ID: Lyric, a pale skinned nonbinary person with short green hair with orange, yellow, teal, and purple accents is sitting behind a white microphone in an RV with dark wood panel walls. The words SHAME KILLS floats in front of them in yellow and orange 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.
