From The History · before the community existed

The prototype was called Solair — an AI coaching tool I trained on Sol Smith's own YouTube videos. He said it was wild. I drafted the full platform: AI tools, community forums, a resource hub, digital-to-physical connection infrastructure. I called it SolSpace. Sol's response: "This is dope. I do think you're onto something."

Less than a month later, the NeuroSpicy Community launched on Skool. With someone else.

If you came from a search

Start with The Anatomy.

If you searched for the NeuroSpicy Community or one of its principals, the synthesis is what you're looking for. Five known removals, all unexplained. Every claim sourced. Then verify against The Record.

If you came for the writing

Start with Roots.

Designing from the Roots is the foundational essay — a map of permaculture's design principles against the cultural defaults autistic people live inside every day. The entry point to The Creative Processing.

If you came for the analysis

The Work Product.

Four analytical papers applying clinical and theoretical frameworks to the documented record. Lifton's eight criteria. A DSM-5 psychosocial profile. A community-health framework. The marketing-to-mechanism gap.

The body of work

Two streams
came out of this.

After being removed from a paid neurodivergent community, three times, two distinct bodies of work emerged: The Creative Processing — fiction, myth, and music refracted through the experience — and The Work Product — analytical papers built from the same evidence using clinical and theoretical frameworks. Show, don't tell. Then publish, or perish.

The alternative

NeuroSpicy
Refugees.

A free, peer-led, transparently-governed community for autistic and ADHD adults. No subscription. No paywall. Belonging is not a product. Two co-stewards. Posted public agreement before decisions. Due process before removal. Built by people who needed exactly this and couldn't find it.

Supporting documentation

The case the work
rests on.

If you're here from a search for the NeuroSpicy Community or one of its principals, the documentation lives in three voices. The History is the chronological account. The Anatomy is the synthesis. The Record is the email-by-email primary-source archive that proves both. Read in any order — they reinforce each other.
