In my latest article, I explore how monotropism creates a vertical temporality. This concept bridges quantum physics and Jung's Spirit of the Depths. It represents a form of existence that functions elsewhere, far from the logic of the clock.

The AuDHD brain has no OFF switch, but you can hack it.
Existing without sensory filters isn't a lack of willpower, it is a structural limitation. The solution is acoustic engineering as a cognitive prosthetic.
Here is how I use Brain.fm and Endel to govern the chaos:
A fish that has stopped wanting to fly.
An exploration of alexithymia, neurodivergence, and the freedom of living within a cognitive system devoid of emotional peaks, yet rich in structural beauty.

If youāre AuDHD, you know the drill: time slipping through your fingers, hyperfocus hijacking your day, and that crushing decision paralysis when thereās just too much noise. To survive (long before my diagnosis), I built systems. Today, those systems are my cure.
The secret? Itās not about becoming more efficient; itās about finally stopping the fight against yourself.

@adelinej @autistics Thanks for the advice! I actually just published a book on the same topic myself, and I always find it really interesting to read other peopleās perspectives!
There is a moment when an autistic voice simply ceases to bridge the gap. It enters the air and dies there. My latest piece explores the invisible architecture of exclusion, from Foucault to social neurobiology.

After 48 years of masking to look neurotypical, hearing ājust adapt a bit moreā drives me up the wall. Iāve adapted every single day of my life already. Enough is enough.
In this piece I open up about the hidden cost of masking, the burnout that eats you alive, and why itās not always us who have to give in.
If youāve spent years fading into the background just to survive, you might see yourself in this.

Just finished āLanding Protocolā by @c_gajewski
Christian, thank you so much! I read it cover to cover. It was like reading a book somebody wrote about me (diagnosed at 40, still in the process of reevaluating my whole past life) a little bit strange but so fascinating!
@ablock
Thank you so very much. I wrote it with exactly this intention: to help others explore themselves. Itās the book I wish I had been able to read when I was diagnosed.

Until April, it will be a Kindle exclusive, after which it will be available on all platforms. In any case, the Kindle app is available for all platforms (PC, tablet, mobile phones with any operating system).
Between stimulus and response there is a space, and in that space lies our power. For those of us on the spectrum, that millisecond of lag is often dismissed as a deficit.
In my latest Medium piece, Iām flipping the script: what if that latency is actually the ultimate expression of human freedom and reason?
A journey through neurology, evolution, and the legacy of Philip K. Dick.

For an autistic brain, the world is never white noise. Itās a symphony of patterns, symmetries, and fractals.
What happens when we perceive the underlying structures of reality that others simply filter out? And what is the price of this sensory overload?
