Well this 2,600-year-old clay letter was a journey.
It comes from the archive of a goldsmith named Nabû-zeru-iddin in the heart of ancient Assyria. We’ve got someone left on read, a lawsuit, a mean step-mom, and people who get drunk and steal silver.

Autistic burnout isn’t a regression.
It’s your bodymind screaming “I can’t keep living like this”.
It’s not failure.
It’s a warning.

A 2,000 year-old Roman souvenir pen with a joke inscription roughly equivalent to:
“I went to Rome and all I got you was this cheap pen!" 😂
Dated circa 70 AD, this iron stylus pen was recovered in London during excavations by MOLA.

![The photo shows four images of the same Roman iron stylus pen, one below the other. The knib to the left. It has an inscription which runs along its length on four sides. The four images show the four lines of inscribed text which read:
‘ab urbe v[e]n[i] munus tibi
gratum adf(e)ro
acul[eat]um ut habe[a]s memor[ia]m nostra(m)
rogo si fortuna dar[e]t quo possem
largius ut longa via ceu sacculus est (v)acuus’
‘I have come from the City. I bring you a welcome gift
with a sharp point that you may remember me.
I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able (to give)
as generously as the way is long (and) as my purse is empty.’
The pen was used to write on wax-filled wooden writing tablets. Found in London (Roman ‘Londinium’) by MOLA. Photo by Juan Jose Fuldain/MOLA](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j56ydp325adovobhwpkzc6sp/bafkreifzhfymde7cyrv2i7fu7e2v33veporn5rsywwi2rqdgswkxpj6xre@jpeg)

Self-regulation isn’t staying calm.
It’s not pretending everything’s okay.
It’s learning to listen to your nervous system -
to move with it, not against it.
Sometimes that means slowing down.
Sometimes it means crying or leaving.
Sometimes it means meltdowns.
Regulation is responsiveness.

Agnosia
Agnosia is when the brain can’t connect familiar “things” to knows details about those things.
Agnosia is the broad concept but there are subtypes.
For example, Prosopagnosia literally translates to “Face Agnosia”
