Living on the Spectrum
Autism, in plain language.
What the research actually says. What the day actually looks like. And the distance between those two things, which is where most of the useful material is.
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
What the studies say
Papers read properly and explained without jargon — including sample sizes, who was studied, and what the finding does not mean.
What the day is like
Sensory load, executive function, masking, burnout, recovery. The specifics, not the euphemisms.
Things that help
Accommodations, scripts, tools, and how to ask for them. No cures, no fixing, no "have you tried."
