This page is the documentation hub for the Stimpunks design framework.
Stimpunks explores how environments can be designed to support diverse nervous systems.
The framework connects lived neurodivergent experience with patterns, design practices, and environmental transformation.

Foundations
These pages introduce the philosophy and intellectual foundations of neurodivergent design.
Core Framework
- The Stimpunks Design Method
- Neurodivergent Design Principles
- The Stimpunks Design System
- The Neurodivergent Design Field Guide
Theory
- Theoretical Foundations of Neurodivergent Design
- Neurodivergent Design as a Science
- Neurodivergent Design as a Paradigm Shift
These pages explain why neurodivergent design matters.
The Design Method
These pages explain how the Stimpunks framework is practiced.
Methodology
- The Neurodivergent Design Methodology
- The Neurodivergent Design Playbook
- Neurodivergent Design Case Studies
- Stimpunks Quickstart Guide
These pages show how to apply the design system in real situations.
The Pattern Language
Patterns describe recurring structures in neurodivergent life.
They form the knowledge layer of the Stimpunks framework.
Core Pattern Pages
Examples of patterns include:
Design Recipes
Recipes translate patterns into practical design moves.
They describe how environments can change to support neurodivergent participation.
Recipe Library
Examples include:
- Designing Attention Sanctuaries
- Designing Sensory-Safe Spaces
- Designing Flexible Participation
- Designing Monotropic Workflows
- Designing Recovery Cycles
Recipes are the practical tools of the framework.
Environments
Recipes combine to form environments that support neurodivergent life.
Environment Pages
- Designing Neurodivergent Environments
- Neurodivergent Homes
- Neurodivergent Studios
- Neurodivergent Workplaces
- Neurodivergent Community Spaces
- Neurodivergent Learning Ecosystems
- Neurodivergent Cities
One experimental environment that brings many of these ideas together is:
Civilization
When neurodivergent design scales beyond individual environments, it begins to reshape institutions and society.
Civilization Pages
- Designing a Neurodivergent Civilization
- The Architecture of Neurodivergent Civilization
- The Neurodivergent Civilization Atlas
- The Neurodivergent Commons
- The Neurodivergent Renaissance
- The Future of Neurodivergent Civilization
These pages explore the long-term implications of neurodivergent design.
How Everything Connects
The Stimpunks framework transforms lived experience into design knowledge.
