Why is your website so boring?

I am on the autism spectrum, and I find sites with lots of links and colors overstimulating. I want my corner of the web to be a relaxed experience for people who feel the same way.

Why aren’t you on social media?

The fast pace of social media makes me anxious, and it saps my capacity for socializing, making it harder for me to have real-life interactions with people. Over several years I realized I was much happier when I wasn’t checking it, yet having accounts made me feel obligated to return. I deleted them so I could live without that self-induced pressure.
