Preserving participation over perfection
Wobbly Wanderer is a living map of the systems I have built to keep participating in life as a Black, AuDHD, hyperlexic, alexithymic, mobility-aid-using systems thinker with an L4/L5 spinal injury caused by a racist neighbour during ten years of abuse.
This is not a wellness brand, productivity method, or inspirational recovery story.
It is practical adaptive engineering.
The core idea is simple: when a body, brain, memory, nervous system, housing situation, or institution is unreliable, capability has to be distributed. Across tools. Across rooms. Across food systems. Across music. Across community. Across time.
These projects document the systems I use to reduce friction, preserve autonomy, communicate more accurately, regulate my nervous system, feed myself, move through the world, and keep hold of my life when the default systems were not built for me.
Some of this is personal. Some of it is transferable. All of it is built from lived experience, pattern recognition, repeated failure, practical testing, and a refusal to confuse “unsupported” with “incapable.”
🧠ReeOS🧭
ReeOS is my personal operating manual: a reverse-engineered map of the strategies, routines, tools, prompts, playlists, food systems, and environmental adaptations that help me function.
It is where I document what actually works, not what is supposed to work.
Start here for practical systems around AI support, music regulation, calibration, communication, executive function, and daily survival with less friction.
Distributed Capability Architecture
Distributed Capability Architecture is the theory underneath the practical systems.
Capability is not a fixed property of one person’s body or mind. It is a dynamic property of a whole system: body, tools, environment, community, and time.
When one part of the system changes because of pain, fatigue, executive dysfunction, sensory overload, institutional stress, or injury, capability does not have to disappear. It can migrate.
DCA is the framework I use to understand and design that migration.
Context is where the Sandwell timeline lives: the events, failures, evidence, institutional decisions, housing barriers, medical misreadings, and lived context that shaped the need for these systems.
This section is not here for drama. It is here because systems do not appear from nowhere. The design makes more sense when the pressure conditions are visible.
This project explores what assessment could look like if it was designed for neurodivergent communication, trauma, alexithymia, hyperlexia, fluctuating capacity, and real-world functioning.
It challenges assessment models that mistake translation failure for non-engagement, distress for disorder, or inaccessible process design for personal deficit.
