Fair comment on Elon Musk mischaracterising Autism and using it as an excuse to be a jerk. Using disability as a shield for bad behaviour is disgusting and disrespectful to people with disabilities.

I selected eight of my essays on autism, late diagnosis, masking, and burnout, and made them free to read. No paywall, no account required.

Topics: how I built four systems to manage an AuDHD brain, why autistic adults look younger than they are, what The Little Prince has to do with diagnosis, and more.

Hey hey fellow ADHD folks and anyone else who regularly needs post-its or other written reminders! YouTube just put this in front of me. It's a band you can write on with a ball point pen, wipe off using friction (water won't remove it), and it snaps to your wrist.

It was originally designed for nurses in Japan who write notes on their wrists. But I can imagine about a thousand ways that a person who struggles with executive function could use something like this!

The website for the company is wemo.earth, and you can buy the bands on Amazon if you need that convenience, or also at japantrendshop.com as an Amazon alternative (they ship worldwide). They're about $18 USD.
