Purposefully designed online education spaces that are accessible, sustainable, and representative of the communities they serve…
I’ve experienced several moments of burnout in my life and career. Being something that I neurologically am not is exhausting.

Our easter egg page is full of punk music and philosophy.
To quote The Clash: This is a public service announcement…with guitar!
Hint: rock ’n’ scroll to the horns.

Stimpunks Guide to the NeurodiVerse Issue #3: Mental Health and Epistemic Justice
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. We dedicate this issue to epistemic justice, something sorely missing in the treatment of neurodivergent and disabled people’s mental health. Negative stereotypes stifle voices and useful tools. Lack of epistemic justice proliferates harm.
“Queer and neurodivergent liberation are entwined.”

This #AutismAcceptanceMonth, help us increase our impact and serve our loved people.
“I’ve never felt understood or seen like this before. I’m desperately looking for community, perspective, support, tools to survive and feel backed into a corner.”
Harmful autism charities rake in millions during #AutismAcceptanceMonth. Don’t give them your money.
There’s an autism community (warrior parents, behaviorists, most autism charities) and an autistic community (us, actually autistic people). They are very different and often at odds. How can you tell if an autism organization is by and for autistic people and autistic community?

Call on the law
I'm fixin' to draw
A line between what is and seems
And call up a brawl
Call 'em up now
'Cause it's about to go pow
I'm standing on the threshold
Of the ups and the downs
