We said goodbye to Potato today.

It wasn’t sudden. On January 1st, I braced for the possibility that it might be his last New Year’s. He couldn’t walk or control his bowels for years. I’d been “p*eing” him, like juicing an orange, for months. At 16 years old, ancient for a pug, his body was a tangled knot of dysfunction. He was done being a dog. It was time to return to the love he came from.

I’ve joked Potato was proof that you could be useless and lovable, but he wasn’t useless. He handled a crucial job for me. He trusted me in a way I don’t think any human can.

Potato never asked me to prove my worth; he just accepted me. I gave him food, warmth, snuggles, and safety. Even when he couldn’t p*e or p**p, I was there. His trust was simple, animalistic, and absolute—a rare gift in a complex world.

Trust from humans is different. People can’t afford to treat others as “innocent until proven guilty.” They need security and assurance. Trusting power is safer than trusting a bleeding heart with no money or influence.

I hate power, though. I’ve seen how chasing it erodes authenticity, and my authenticity is my everything.

I will miss Potato’s trust. I miss being someone’s safe person. My other dog, Peg, loves me, but she came from a harder past, and her trust doesn’t feel as pure as Potato’s. I feel it and it hurts.

I hope someday, someone will trust me to love them imperfectly the way Potato did. To let me try, fail, and keep trying. That’s what love is—imperfect, unending, and forgiving.

Thank you, Potato. I love you.

"Allie is just as attached to their meaning-making map as Allie is. The difference is Allie is attached to their communal map and Otto is attached to an individual one. To change Otto’s mind, Allie may have to convince Otto and yes, convincing an autistic person, not easy to do. But to change Allie's mind. Otto may have to convince the ocean and that's the difference in perspective that I really want my new allistic friends to think about when they're mad at an autistic person being stubborn. Because yes, as impossible as that person seems, the entire world feels that impossible to that person. And they have to be that person living in that impossible world every day. My God, I am the first person to say that families don't get enough support. They just straight up don't. Sheila and I have both worked in homes with these families. I am not trying to belittle the incredible challenges that allistic people with autistic family members have to-- --make sure you know it's not what I'm saying, it doesn't change the fact that if you're not autistic, you can walk away from that situation in a way that the autistic person never will."

I'm seeing a lot of people online forcefully telling others what they should or shouldn't discuss on their own platforms. While these well-meaning folks want attention on the right issues, their approach often does more harm than good.

Focusing on a single issue as the most important one is problematic. Even if it is the biggest issue, not everyone needs to be pressured into discussing it. If everyone focused on just one problem, countless other issues would be neglected. Plus, having everyone on one issue doesn't guarantee a solution; it might just lead to more conflict and delays.

It's reasonable for people to focus on different problems. Personally, I may never talk about "Humanity Crisis Alpha" because others already are, and I feel more impactful working on issues within my expertise. My focus is on sharing responsible advice in my areas of knowledge, and I wish more people would stick to what they know too.

I’m a multifaceted person with opinions, but I prefer to decide when and how to engage online for my own mental health and to serve my audience responsibly.

I’m not that important in the grand scheme of things, and my work will likely never take center stage. But that’s how a diverse global community should function—different people working on different issues.

Let's allow creators to choose what they're comfortable talking about.

It looks like a lot of people think those of us with atypical needs should expect to meet them on our own, without being accommodated.

The attitude is, “if it’s a YOU problem, you should take care of it yourself.”

If that’s really what they believe, fine, but they should know that means they think someone with neurodivergence or other disabilities deserves a tougher life just because of random chance.

To my mind, that’s confessing to being kind of a jerk. It’s probably a lot easier to hold a belief like that if you aren’t the one being burdened with the labor.

It looks to me like in the long run, it’s less costly to be a little more considerate than it is to have a society where people who need help can’t get it.

We’re not asking for as much as it might seem. Just a civilization that treats us with civility.

I think the world is the way it is because people are stubborn about hanging onto bad ideas.
I think they hang on so stubbornly because they aren’t listening to the people with better ideas.
I think they aren’t listening to people with better ideas because they don’t trust them.
And I think they don’t trust them because those people don’t trust them either - and it shows.
So I think if we really want to see change, we have to start valuing earning each other’s trust more than we value having the best ideas.

🙏🏻Please forward any book, class, or recording sales questions to 🙏🏻

"Everyone has a meaning making map - a framework for interpreting the world, connecting ideas, beliefs and experiences into our reality. And an allistic person's meaning making map is made collaboratively with other people, which causes it to approximate the mainstream cultural paradigm. Given the wide variety of brains across the autistic spectrum, each individual autistic person has to construct their meaning making map on their own.

This causes their perspective on reality to not only differ from the mainstream cultural paradigm, but also from the perspectives of other autistic people. I think this is really important to understand that it's not like there's an allistic meaning making map, and then there's an autistic meaning making map, and all the autistic people are on this team, and the allistic people are on another.

No, it really is like the allistic people are all on a team. And then all of the autistic people are individuals.

Autistic people are experiencing a feeling of chronic loneliness that allistic people do not experience."

Well ? This means war. 🚨KAJABI IS PREDATORY AND UNSAFE🚨 I still really need help fighting with these people. Please - can someone talk to someone for me????

Anyone affected please email me screen grabs of what you see when you try to cancel on your own so I can use the evidence to fight for us.

If you work for Kajabi you should be so ashamed. And you’re doing this to a diagnosed disabled person which is like an extra strength reservation to hell.

Having Autism, ADHD, or trauma can make us skilled at spotting a bad guy. There are plenty of reasons for us to develop a sensitivity to the red flags. But since sensitivity cuts both ways, it also means we may perceive threat when there is none. It’s not a superpower - it’s real - which means there are pros and cons. I think it’s important we trust ourselves, but with a sense of reasonable humility. I mean, having a talent and being infallible aren’t even close to being the same thing. If we turn out to have misjudged someone, that doesn’t mean we don’t have the skill, but just because we have a skill doesn’t mean we are entitled to throw around accusations with absolute certainty. It just looks to me like too many people are coping with their trauma with delusional self-importance. I don’t think inflating ourselves inspires the feeling of connection that’s actually gonna save the world.

🚨URGENT
Kajabi is still charging people for Lindsay’s Echo Chamber even though I shut down the community and cancelled my Kajabi account.

I can’t respond to any emails about this because my account is cancelled so attempts to reply take me to a 404 page.

Someone please help me get Kajabi to fix this immediately! My communication with their customer service isn’t effective if this is happening. I am so scared and so sorry.

And Kajabi, maybe not by law, but in my heart, you owe me hundreds of dollars. I don’t even care about an apology. Just fix this and disappear from my life.

I think when autistic people crash into their 'autistic certainty paradox' and feel their logic is the only truth, they risk ending up being too combative with anyone who questions their views.

We’ll often see ourselves as heroes - beacons of rationality in an illogical, misguided world. And it shows.

I think as autistic people, we have to make a concerted effort to recognize the subjective goals underlying our logic, and give ourselves permission to feel certain without absolute certainty. We don’t have to be infallible to trust ourselves and move forward. We will always be responsible for choices we have to make with imperfect information. It’s not fair, but on an individual level, nothing ever is.

Acknowledging that everyone's perspective is shaped by personal and societal influences and embracing the messy, subjective nature of the human experience can pave the way for more inclusive, empathetic, and respectful conversation across diverse communities.

This is part 3 of 3. Follow if you want to hear more thoughts about things like the autistic certainty paradox.

Otto the autistic owl asks Allie the allistic dolphin, “How come the other dolphins don’t like me?”
Allie gives Otto advice on how to get along with them better, but that just makes Otto get defensive. “Why should I have to do all of that? They should stop being mean.”
Otto feels like if Allie responded with advice, Allie must agree with the assessment of the other dolphins, which feels like a extension of the shaming. Otto assumes if Allie didn’t agree, her answer would be something critical of the dolphins, like “They’re irrational” or “They’re haters.” Not something critical of Otto.
Otto doesn’t realize they’re giving Allie a job that Allie and their friends expect people to do for themselves - validating their own perspective.
Some autistic people struggle to organically form a sense of boundaries, so when people say critical things to us, it feels as if “we don’t have the right” to disregard it without support.
But Otto doesn’t need Allie to give them permission to disagree with the mean dolphins.
Otto is entitled to their own beliefs about them.
Imposing an obligation on Allie to agree was neither fair nor rational.
It may not be obvious to Otto that just because their feelings aren’t universal, or shared by Allie, doesn’t mean they’re not valid.

I worry a lot about privileged men who don’t know they’re autistic. They face particular challenges regulating their nervous systems in a world changing as fast as ours which probably won’t get addressed until they know.

Societal advantages have a tendency to shield people from contrasting perspectives, so privileged unaware autistics can remain oblivious that logical conclusions can still be subjective. If their culture’s truths feel ubiquitous enough, it’s easy to equate personal logic with universal truth day to day without much resistance.

When these guys I’m talking about are scoffing at experiences that challenge their worldview, it looks like they’re ‘kicking marginalized groups while they’re down.’ But to their minds, those experiences must be a lie or exaggeration, because that’s the only explanation they have access to for how dramatically their nervous system is reacting.

These aren’t bad guys - but this lack of guidance regarding how to interpret signals from their autistic nervous systems leading to blindness to humanity’s inherent subjectivity can transform otherwise noble intentions into bombastic displays of insensitivity, egocentrism, and entitlement.
