Educational Spaces Fail Neurodivergent Minds: Building Design Dictates Learning Outcomes

Hi! Late diagnosed #AuDHD. I've been writing a book for 3 years that should have taken one. I'm now trying to publish it, so I'm jumping into something I know nothing about. When I'm not navigating my #executivedysfunction, I'm hiking, listening to paranormal podcasts, or down a rabbit hole reading old restaurant menus. I live with a big, fluffy cat, and I've just spent 45 minutes rewriting this introduction. #ADHD #neurodivergent #introduction #autism #Mastodon #WritingCommunity #NewHere

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.

A classroom, a flickering light, the sound of a pen clicking over and over again. Before the lesson even begins, your mind is already full... School buildings are not neutral. They shape who gets to learn... and who is left surviving. My new article explores neurodiversity, sensory-friendly design, and the politics of space in education. Because learning begins not with a blackboard, but with the senses. https://www.academia.edu/165436301/Room_for_Your_Brain #Neurodiversity #InclusiveDesign #Autism #ADHD #Education
