Understanding your emotional needs is key to staying regulated.

When you know what supports your well-being, you can better manage stress and prevent burnout.

It’s not just about unmasking, but about truly caring for yourself at a deeper level.

I keep noticing a pattern in one of my Talmud shiurs.

I often read sugyot as questions of harm, honesty, repair, and moral courage.

Others in shiur read the same text as procedure, authority, and financial mechanics.

Someone can be regulated in the morning and dysregulated by the afternoon.

Someone can be regulated at home and dysregulated at work.

Someone can be regulated while joyful and dysregulated while grieving.

I'll hosting a seminar on autistic meltdowns, shutdowns, and burnout in London on January 17.

We'll dig into what they really are - how to go thru them with grace - and how to recover with love

Autistic futurism isn’t about “including” us in the future.

It’s about imagining futures that only make sense because autistic people are in them.

Different rhythms.

Different values.

Different ways of knowing.

Not cured.

Not managed.

Not normalised.

Alive.

Truly alive.

On our terms.

Joseph doesn’t become whole in our parasha.

Not even close.

He doesn’t suddenly integrate his trauma and break the cycle that’s been happening for generations.

He doesn’t reckon with the harm he causes, even as he (barely) names the harm done to him.

We need to stop referring to everything external as autistic meltdowns and internal as shutdowns.

They’re MUCH more complicated than that

A meltdown is not defined by whether other people can see it.

Healthy autistic friendships feel calmer over time, not more chaotic.

If every autistic connection ends in overwhelm or rupture it’s not because you’re “too autistic.”

It’s because no one taught autistic pacing.

Do you need support from your loved ones but don't know how to get them to listen?

Do they want to support you but don't have the tools?

My workshop for the families and allies of autistic adults is a 5-week space that will guide them in allyship.

netanyahu ignored intelligence warnings from within israel and from israel's allies. he moved defensive resources from the gaza perimeter to the west bank to protect violent hooligans attacking palestinians. the day of the attack, the security establishment under his command took hours to respond.
No, you fucking dunce.

Plenty of us have been speaking for decades.

You and your incompetent and violent buddies brought this on everyone.

And continue.

Jesus was a socialist.

Jesus was queer.

Jesus was autistic.

Jesus was a rabbi.

Jesus fought a system that was corrupt to its core.

Jesus was Jewish.

Jesus wasn’t really his name - it was Josh.
