Executive Function Isn’t a Character Flaw. It’s a Missing Blueprint
You set the reminder.
You wrote the list.
You even wanted to do the thing.
But somehow—it still didn’t happen.
And now you’re spiralling:
"Why can’t I just get it together?"
"Am I lazy? Am I broken?"
"Why do other people make this look so easy?"
Here’s the truth:
You’re not broken.
You’re not lazy.
You’re running a complex system without the blueprint.
The NDIS Should Listen to me
Child Agency Toolkit
Recovery Is Not Linear
Recovery doesn’t follow a timeline. It loops, pauses, spirals, and rests. This toolkit offers visual, linguistic, and emotional support for anyone navigating healing in a system that expects progress to be linear.
I Am Communicating – You're Just Not Listening
This visual essay was created to show what it feels like to be a non-speaking person in a system that often doesn't wait or listen.
Let’s Listen to Children: Restoring Agency in the NDIS
Children are not just NDIS participants—they’re people. But under current systems, too many children are treated as cases to be
managed,
not individuals with choices to be respected.
This blog explores how the NDIS often sidelines child agency—and introduces new visual and Easy Read tools to make that
reality more visible and changeable.
You Shouldn't Need a Law Degree to Protect a Child
A four-panel visual essay featuring bold black and orange text on a beige background. Each panel includes a short message and simple line icons. Top left: “You shouldn’t need a law degree to protect a child,” with icons of a courthouse and an adult holding a child. Top right: “But too often, systems that are meant to keep kids safe…” with a scale of justice. Bottom left: “We shouldn’t need a law degree to make the system move. But sometimes we need a plan.” with a checklist icon. Bottom right: “When the system stalls, pressure needs to be applied from every angle,” with arrows pointing toward a center dot. The footer reiterates: “When the system stalls, pressure needs to be applied from every angle—fast.”
I’m Not Difficult—You Just Don’t Have the Blueprint
Some people are loud when they’re scared.
Some people go quiet when they’re in pain.
Some people laugh when they’re overwhelmed.
Some people cry when they’re not even sure why.
None of those reactions are wrong.
None of them mean someone is broken.
But in support systems, classrooms, and workplaces, these behaviours are often misunderstood, punished—or dismissed as “difficult.”
Here’s the truth:
People aren’t difficult.
What’s difficult is trying to support someone without the blueprint.
