Living on the Spectrum

So you live on the spectrum.

This is a place where we break down what the spectrum looks like — across the board, for everyone.

How this site is built. No autoplay, no animation you didn't ask for, no pop-ups, no cookie banner. It follows your system's light or dark setting and your reduced-motion setting. Text resizes properly. If something here is hard to use, that's a bug — tell me.

What this is

Three kinds of thing

Research, translated

What the studies say

The research on how minds differ, read properly and explained without jargon — including sample sizes, who was actually studied, and what a finding does not mean.

Lived detail

What the day is like

Sensory load, attention, energy, executive function, recovery. Different minds run on different budgets — here are the specifics, not the euphemisms.

Fit

Environments and roles

What conditions a given mind actually works well in, how to shape them, and how to ask for them. No cures, no fixing, no "have you tried."
