Autistic youth navigate a world designed against their cognitive reality. I'm building modular support systems that reduce cognitive load instead of forcing conformity. Real infrastructure for neurodivergent minds.

In this project, I’m building a collection of “helper-systems” that adequately equip autistic youth in daily life––from making actual friends, to following in class while this 🤏🏿 close to an gale-force 10 melt-down.

This applied research initiative develops and tests adaptive support systems for autistic youth, and examines the outcomes of informed, human-first ecosystem design on lived experience over time.

Mainstream systems overlooks human realities that don't fit standardized norms, Autistic youth navigate infrastructure designed against their cognitive reality from their toddler years. Overtime, the weight and over-exertion required to close the gap cumulates and costs us our health, our relationships, and our ability to function.

Enter, the Toolkit.
