A double header! In addition to naming @GretaThunberg as its #PersonOfTheYear, it’s named @lizzo as #EntertainerOfTheYear.

She may not be autistic, but Lizzo’s music preaching self-acceptance and #SelfAdvocacy is a perfect soundtrack to loving yourself & moving forward in power.
Also, damn can she write for a hook. If you haven’t listened to Lizzo, do yourself a favor and do.

Also, Lizzo was a guest on this podcast in May where she nerded out on music composition (and demonstrated her genius as a musician).

Geeking out once more. In her song #LikeAGirl, Lizzo sings:

“If you feel like a girl, then you real like a girl. Do your thing. Run the whole damn world.”

Not sure original intent, but in concert I saw Lizzo make it clear it promotes trans acceptance.

This goes for every #AutismAtWork program which fails to employ autistic people in its leadership. It goes for every autism service provider. It goes for every therapy, curriculum, or conference developed about us.

When we say #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs, we mean NOTHING.
Lest y’all think this is an angry tweet, it’s not. It’s one full of hope, optimism, dignity, and no longer taking any sh*t.

Let’s do this.
