On Wednesday we said a final goodbye to one of my favourite people - Andy Burns. I’ve met many many people through YouTube, the internet and social media, but my friendship with Andy always has, and probably always will be my favourite thing to come out of being autistic, being on social media and starting YouTube. Andy’s channel is an inspiration for many people - but for me, way back when I was first diagnosed it showed me that autism is cool, and I could do it too. Throughout our friendship, Andy always hyped up my videos and genuinely believed in me. I will certainly miss the hundreds of voice notes that we sent after forgetting to reply to one another for months. I’d like to say a massive thank you to Andy’s friends and family for making me feel loved, supported and welcome always. It makes it obvious where Andy got his big loving heart from - and it means the actual world.
