Just watched Sorrentino's La Grazia on MUBI. Wrote about it on Substack: the film as grief work in four registers, death, love, role, and the idea of the self. For anyone whose inner life needs a translator before it can be felt […]

I recently read Cialdini's Influence: Science and Practice. The reciprocity principle raised substantial doubts for me. My autistic experience suggests that, in interactions with neurotypical people, that principle deforms in systematic ways. Alongside the double empathy problem, a parallel […]

My AuDHD mornings run on dice now. Six tasks on paper, a 1d6 for priority, a 1d20 for minutes per task, a 60-second primer timer that runs before everything else. The system that finally aligns the autistic architecture (taxonomies, protocols) with the ADHD activation (urgency, novelty). New […]

Quick follow-up on the book post from this morning, in case it scrolled past. The launch price ($4.99 / €4.99) is structural. I priced it at $9.99 in April and the book stalled. Lowering it through June 30 to rebuild some traction. Honest signal of what works and what does not, for any indie […]

Quick update for everyone here. My memoir Wrong Planet / Right Mind is on Amazon Kindle. Late-diagnosed autistic at 48, twice-exceptional, healthcare worker. I rebranded the book in April. Cleaner cover, more accurate title, but I lost some early reviews and ranking in the process. The honest […]

I’ve published a new essay on Substack: “I waited four times. Here’s where the misalignments begin.” What happens when two people don’t oscillate at the same frequency in a group chat? Not misunderstanding. Geometry. Topology. I use the Kuramoto model to explain what the double empathy problem […]

Sant Jordi is the Catalan feast of books and roses. Every April 23rd, people here exchange books instead of gifts. It felt like the right moment. Until Sunday, Wrong Planet / Right Mind is 20% off on every platform. Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Kobo. $7.99. Until Sunday. If you've been […]

I wrote Wrong Planet / Right Mind after 48 years of wrong diagnoses, burnout, and a life that only made sense backwards. The book is out. No reviews yet. If you’re autistic, late-diagnosed, or simply always knew something was different, and you’d like a free […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I selected eight of my essays on autism, late diagnosis, masking, and burnout, and made them free to read. No paywall, no account required. Topics: how I built four systems to manage an AuDHD brain, why autistic adults look younger than they are, what The Little Prince has to do with diagnosis […]

Seven months on Medium taught me that a magazine and a town square are two different things. I also rebranded my book. The algorithm doesn’t read. It classifies. And it classified Landing Protocol as a dystopian thriller. New title, new cover, same book: Wrong Planet / Right Mind. The full story […]

Every Sant Jordi I tell myself I'll stop giving books. Too personal, too impossible to get right. Then I do it anyway, because the right book to give isn't the one that fits the other person. It's the one that gives you away […]

Is it depression or Autistic Burnout? For years, I lived under the wrong diagnosis. Traditional treatments fail when we mistake a nervous system paralyzed by "masking" for a simple chemical imbalance. In my latest article, I explore the neurobiology of burnout and the emerging role of psilocybin […]

I spent hours cooking for a table that remained empty. To me, a vague "okay" was a contractual commitment. To my guests, it meant nothing at all. I discovered at forty-eight that my world is built on words that mean exactly what they say. In this article, I analyze seven traits I have only now […]

For years I thought my emotional system was defective. I was wrong. Alexithymia is not an absence. It is a “low-noise” operating system optimized for logic rather than biochemical storms. I explore this paradox between neurodivergence and neural architecture in this essay. You can read it for […]

What happens when the unconscious stops whispering and starts giving orders? In my latest article, I analyze the dream command “Seek the Yellow” through the lens of Jungian psychology and alchemy. Read the full analysis on Medium (members only) […]

I wrote about my experience as a German child in Italy, where a lack of pedagogical tools transformed a history lesson into a process of scapegoating. It’s a story about the intersection of trauma, semantic errors, and the invisible struggle of the twice-exceptional mind. #AuDHD #neurodivergence […]

I am resharing one of my most personal and practical guides: "How I Plan My AuDHD Life." When I first posted this, it was behind a paywall. Today, I am sharing it via a Friend Link for free access for everyone. Survival tools for the neurodivergent community should be accessible. I want to […]

Why does a film make me cry when real life feels out of reach? Alexithymia makes emotions a puzzle, but directors like Lynch and Sorrentino offer a sensory bypass. A personal look at cinema as a translator […]

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. Read the full piece here […]

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. My latest piece […]

If you’re AuDHD, you know the drill: time slipping through your fingers, hyperfocus hijacking your day, and that crushing decision paralysis when there’s just too much noise. To survive (long before my diagnosis), I built systems. Today, those systems are my cure. The secret? It’s not about […]

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. Check it out […]

After 48 years of masking to look neurotypical, hearing ‘just adapt a bit more’ drives me up the wall. I’ve 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 it’s not always us who […]

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, I’m flipping the script: what if that latency is actually the ultimate expression of human […]

For an autistic brain, the world is never white noise. It’s 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? My latest article […]

I spent nearly fifty years pretending to be a defective human. Then I realized I was simply a functional alien with a different operating manual. 🖖 From the biology of oxidative stress to the philosophy of the bicameral mind: this is how I rebuilt my identity. My 2025 Survival Protocol is now […]
