An accessible, neurodiversity-affirming body of knowledge on autism and neurodivergence — translating autistic-led research and lived experience for parents, builders, and knowledge workers.https://blog.mneurix.dev/https://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/audhd-eds-pots-mcas-arfid-pmdd-cluster/https://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/audhd-eds-pots-mcas-arfid-pmdd-cluster/Parents are sent to five specialists for what is, in autistic-led research and lived experience, one co-occurring cluster — connective-tissue, autonomic, immune, sensory, and endocrine dysregulation. An affirming operational parent map, honest about thin evidence.Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTautistic-led-researchautismaudhdsensoryparentinghttps://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/autistic-adulthood-as-infrastructure/https://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/autistic-adulthood-as-infrastructure/Past the transition cliff, autistic adults fall out of the pediatric system into sparse, fragmented adult infrastructure. Autistic adulthood is an infrastructure problem — employment (IPS place-then-train), housing (community integration with funded supports), and supported decision-making vs guardianship — with autonomy as the design goal.Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTautismneurodiversityparentingneurodivergent-workhttps://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/double-empathy-in-your-pull-requests/https://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/double-empathy-in-your-pull-requests/Autistic communication friction isn't a last-mile social-skills gap. Milton's double empathy problem reframes it as bidirectional — both neurotypes fail to read each other — and the fix is protocol design, not coaching the autistic person to mask.Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTdouble-empathyneurodivergent-workautismadhdmaskinghttps://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/race-autism-diagnosis-gap/https://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/race-autism-diagnosis-gap/Black and Brown autistic children are diagnosed later, misdiagnosed more often, and under-identified by the systems that gate access to support. A diagnosis is a credential — unequally issued — and the diagnosis gap is a credentialing-distribution problem, not a neutral clinical fact.Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTautismneurodiversityparentingdouble-empathyhttps://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/sleep-sensory-regulation-body-clock/https://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/sleep-sensory-regulation-body-clock/Sleep is a top autistic research priority — and the dominant behaviorist sleep-training default treats it as noncompliance, when for many autistic people it's sensory and circadian. Sensory-first, circadian-first, behaviorism last.

Mostly that's a myth — neurodivergent-first design surfaces friction the majority was tolerating. But not always: the honest version names the genuine tradeoffs and answers them with universal design (options), not a single replaced default.Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTlearning-designaccessibilityautismadhdsensoryhttps://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/what-neurodiversity-at-work-programs-get-wrong/https://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/what-neurodiversity-at-work-programs-get-wrong/Corporate neurodiversity programs recruit autistic people for narrow roles, measure success by whether they learn to mask, and call it inclusion. Real inclusion redesigns the workplace around autistic cognition, not the autistic employee around the workplace.Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTneurodivergent-workmaskingdisclosureautismadhdhttps://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/autistic-burnout-masking-knowledge-workers/https://blog.mneurix.dev/neuro/posts/autistic-burnout-masking-knowledge-workers/Autistic burnout is a predictable output of sustained masking under a neurotypical-coded work rhythm, not a personal coping failure — and the standard corporate interventions make it worse.
