You can't know what you don't know

This series almost didn't happen. A comic strip, a colleague's question, and thirteen posts later: here's what masking actually is, why the right framework matters more than most people realise, and what to do if any of this sounded familiar. Includes a link to a free RAADS-R screening tool.

My dad taught me ethical business practices — treat people well, deliver value, be honest.

But even he had bought into productivity culture. The ""success requires sacrifice"" mentality. 1/3

Labels Give Access, Lenses Give Way

A short reflection on what’s useful and real.

Executive dysfunction isn't laziness. Your prefrontal cortex is exhausted. ADHD and Autistic brains fight a biological battle to start tasks. Dopamine deficits trigger this paralysis. This is neurology. It is never a moral failing. #Neurodiversity

I took chipped plates that have been sitting on my counter for a month to the recycling center today.

Walking back to the car, I suddenly felt absolutely horrible for leaving them there...alone.

I'm not sure if that's the autism or the ADHD, but it's gotta be one.

Autism as a catalyst

Autism hardly create effects directly: it amplifies whatever is already present, in both directions. The same wiring that produces unusual pattern recognition also produces sensory overload. The genius effect and the burnout are not opposites; they're the same amplifier applied to different inputs. This post synthesizes the series and names the mechanism running through all of it.
