Lyric Rivera

Best known for their blog, NeuroDivergent Rebel, and as the author of the best-selling business ethics book Workplace Neurodiversity Rising. Lyric’s book was praised in Forbes as “an excellent ‘how to manual’ based on lived Experience and professional competence.”

The NeuroDivergent Rebel was started in the fall of 2016 as a way to introduce people unfamiliar with the concept of Neurodiversity to this new way of seeing neurological differences. The blog, which is sometimes released in written format and sometimes as a YouTube video, explores the ideology of Neurodiversity and the creative expressions of Autistic people. Rivera’s blog pushes for acceptance of neurological differences and respect for the autonomy of NeuroDivergent people.

Lyric is also the founder of NeuroDivergent Consulting, a consulting agency that works with businesses “to create new policies that work to attract and increase the tenure of current and future neurodivergent employees.” The philosophy of Neurodivergent Consulting is to advocate for accessible workplaces where neurodivergent employees can fully implement their unique talents and fresh perspectives.
