How to Human

This page acts as a table of contents for the various write-ups I've done on "being a human"/"adulting"/"faking it 'till you make it." It contains guides that are helpful for a wide variety of people with a wide variety of neurotypes. There's a lot of advice in these pages but if you want the quickest answer to "how do I human?" it's to be kind - to yourself as well as to others.

Good luck, I hope something here helps.
