- Much collaboration fails before it starts. Not because people don't care. Not because the work isn't good. Because the default assumption built into most working environments is that everyone processes, communicates, and participates the same way. That assumption is wrong, and neurodivergent people pay the highest price for it. A […]
- This week on Infodumplings, we're celebrating libraries — what they are, what they mean, what they've been for us — and we're doing it alongside Lilypad Library, a neurodivergent-created children's show that Stimpunks is proud to fiscally sponsor. We'll watch a Lilypad Library episode together. Then we'll infodump: your library […]
- Lilypad Library is a children's show built on a simple premise: neurodivergent kids deserve to see themselves in stories written by people who actually know what that's like. Creator Kiersten Case draws from lived experience. The show's characters are written by and with neurodivergent people — that's the standard. Nothing […]
- From everyday carry to card games, from glossary philosophy to content pages getting what they were owed, Week 21 built survival infrastructure and connection infrastructure at the same time — because for neurodivergent and disabled people, they are the same project. The post Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 21 2026: From […]
- For our May 24 Campfire Learn Together, we are watching and discussing the Keynote by Dr. Damian Milton, delivered at the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR) 2026 annual meeting: "Bridging the Gap: Exploring the Current Empirical Evidence Relating to the Double Empathy Problem."

- Disabled people are the original life hackers. We EDC (Everyday Carry) to survive. Join us to share the contents of your pockets and your bags. Share what you carry to cope, survive, and thrive. The post Infodumplings: Everyday Carry for Mortal Coils first appeared on Stimpunks Foundation.
- From framework synthesis to glossary depth, Week 20 built the /space/ ecosystem into a citable, interconnected design system — and kept expanding the vocabulary of neurodivergent life. The post Stimpunks.org Changelog for Week 20 2026: From Crosswalk to Cosmos, From Framework to Fabric first appeared on Stimpunks Foundation.
- For our May 17 Campfire Learn Together, we are watching and discussing "Therapy Is Not Neutral with Dr. Jennifer Mullan, facilitated by Iya Affo". Therapy is not neutral. Our community can attest to that. Pretending it is neutral covers up harm. The post Campfire Learn Together: Therapy Is Not Neutral […]
- We're gathering for an Infodump on the troll art of Danish artist Thomas Dambo — on recycling, upcycling, biodiversity, and the integration of made things into the living world. On what it means to bricolage not just a sculpture but an argument. On the radical claim, embedded in every one […]
- Week 19 was a week of architecture and surface — simultaneously. We built series infrastructure that gives the site a new navigational logic, and we rewrote page after page to do the argumentative work they always promised. Series pages. Landing pages. Section intros. Bridge paragraphs. The site now has five […]

- Research is not neutral. It never was. Facts, Fire, and Feels is our series on mainstream autism and disability research — who conducts it, who it harms, who it ignores, and what research that actually serves our communities looks like. https://stimpunks.org/research/overview/
- Neurodivergent collaboration design is not special accommodation. It is good design. https://stimpunks.org/2026/05/27/write-a-neurodivergent-collaboration-manual/
- We wrote a guide on how to write a neurodivergent collaboration manual. Our glossary, pattern library, and experiences exist to give language to patterns that have been unnamed or pathologized. A collaboration manual is one way to put that language to work. https://stimpunks.org/2026/05/27/write-a-neurodivergent-collaboration-manual/
- This is not a literature review. It is a reckoning. Facts, Fire, and Feels: Research-Storytelling from the Edges https://stimpunks.org/research/overview/
- Facts: we cite our sources. Fire: we are angry about what gets funded and done to our communities in the name of science. Feels: lived experience is data. Testimony is evidence. Facts, Fire, and Feels — research-storytelling from the edges. https://stimpunks.org/research/overview/
- Stimpunks converts funding into immediate stabilization, practical access tools, and long-term harm reduction — producing measurable improvements in wellbeing while reducing systemic costs. https://stimpunks.org/about/accountability/logic-model-outcomes-framework/
- Stimpunks is the fiscal sponsor of Lilypad Library, a children's show built on a simple premise: neurodivergent kids deserve stories written by people who actually know what that's like. Creator Kiersten Case draws from lived experience. No stories about us without us. https://stimpunks.org/2026/05/26/we-are-fiscal-sponsors-of-lilypad-library/
- Libraries are the closest thing we have to a place that is simply for you. No purchase required. No performance of need. You are a patron, not a customer. This Thursday, Infodumplings celebrates that. 📚🐸 https://stimpunks.org/2026/05/26/infodumplings-celebrating-libraries-with-lilypad-library/
- "My whole life has been a process of finding labels that fit." Identity is bricolage. We try labels on, rearrange them, discard some, keep others. We arrange building materials into a self. Different people arrange similar materials differently. That's construction. stimpunks.org/bricolage/ https://stimpunks.org/bricolage/
- Facts, Fire, and Feels brings together research, critique, and storytelling from the edges of knowledge production. We read the literature. We name the harms. We amplify the studies that treat us as whole people. We reject the ones that don’t. https://stimpunks.org/research/overview/

- 92% of children experiencing school attendance difficulties are neurodivergent.That's not a coincidence. That's a design problem.School-induced anxiety. Sensory overwhelm. Autistic burnout. The problem is the environment.🏚️ Part 1: https://stimpunks.org/access/education/

- A Thomas Dambo troll is made of what the world discarded. Old pallets. Salvaged timber. Debris from construction sites.
