A free, peer-led, transparently-governed community for autistic and ADHD adults. Built by people who needed exactly this and couldn't find it. No subscription. No paywall. Belonging is not a product.
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, infrastructure to connect the digital side to in-person meetups. 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.
After being removed from a paid neurodivergent community, three times, two distinct bodies of work emerged. The Creative Processing is fiction, myth, and music refracted through the experience. The Work Product is analytical papers built from the same evidence using clinical and theoretical frameworks. Show, don't tell. Then publish, or perish.
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.
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 them in any order. They reinforce each other.
