Autistic LGBTQIA+ Advocates

Hannah Gadsby

Tasmania’s own Hannah Gadsby stopped stand-up comedy in its tracks with her multi-award-winning show, Nanette, which when launched on Netflix won an Emmy.

Hannah’s difficult second album (which was also her eleventh solo show) was named Douglas after her dog.

Douglas was an Emmy nominated smash hit, moving beyond the trauma at the center of Nanette and instead, letting the world see the view from Hannah’s brain – one that sees the world differently but with breathtaking clarity.

Lyric Holmans (Neurodivergent Rebel)

Lyric Holmans, an autistic self-advocate from Texas, runs the internationally recognised neurodiversity lifestyle blog Neurodivergent Rebel.

The Neurodivergent Rebel opened their blog in 2016 as a way to introduce people unfamiliar with the concept of neurodiversity to this new way of seeing neurological differences. The blog explores the ideology of neurodiversity and the creative expressions of autistic people and pushes for acceptance of neurological differences and respect for the autonomy of neurodivergent people.
