Free Resource Library
Welcome, Scout. This is the free resource library: a place to grab tools, guides, worksheets, and survival supplies for your very real, very weird brain. Print it, share it, use it in your classroom, tape it to your fridge. Start with whatever helps.
Habitat Hacking: A Room-by-Room Manual
A small manual for building a house that remembers what your brain forgets, reduces what your body has to survive, and carries some of the load before you ever blame yourself.
Twenty-five pages, room by room, with ways to find the blocked action, name the burden, and make one small change you control. The laundry basket can live on top of the dresser. Nobody appointed the furniture police.
