Looking for Translation Aids? Start here
Wobbly Wanderer is a free Google Site created to document adaptive living, neurodivergent systems thinking, disability access barriers, and institutional accountability.
It combines practical survival systems, personal context, evidence records, and systems translation. The aim is not polish for its own sake. The aim is clarity, traceability, and making complex lived experience understandable to people who need to understand it.
Practice
The practical systems I use to keep participating in life: 🧠ReeOS🧭, food systems, tools, regulation, AI support, communication, mobility, calibration, and daily survival infrastructure.
Theory
The framework underneath those systems: 🏗️Distributed Capability Architecture, or 🏗️DCA. This explains how capability can be distributed across body, tools, environment, community, and time instead of being treated as something located inside one person’s body or brain.
Evidence and translation
The assessment, context, resources, and public records that show why these systems matter, what institutions often miss, and how inaccessible processes can turn support needs into avoidable crisis.

🧺Need environment, memory, or object-placement systems? Start with 🏗️DCA: Environment.
♿Need mobility or load-reduction ideas? Start with 🏗️DCA: Body / Mobility.
🗣️Need forms, appointments, or communication scripts? Start with Resources.
⚖️Need the wider evidence trail? Start with Context.
🤓Wobbly Wanderer is my adventurous side, this website is a living map of the systems I have built to keep participating in life even in an environment as hostile as Sandwell is to my demographic😉. This is not a wellness brand, productivity method, or inspirational recovery story. I am sharing 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 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.
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, 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.

🧠ReeOS🧭: My personal operating manual: the practical systems, routines, tools, prompts, playlists, food infrastructure, and environmental adaptations that help me function.
🧑🏫Distributed Capability Theory (DCA): The theory underneath the practical systems. Start here if you want the transferable framework rather than my personal implementation.
🆘Resources: Translation guides for PIP, NHS, scripts, prompts, and practical tools for navigating forms, appointments, communication barriers, and support systems.
👨⚕️Longitudinal Assessment Proposal: A project exploring what assessment could look like if it was designed around neurodivergent communication, fluctuating capacity, trauma, and real-world functioning.
🧑🏫Context: The evidence trail and pressure conditions. This section is not here for drama. It shows why the systems had to be built and what happens when housing, healthcare, welfare, policing, and social care systems fail.
🤓About Ree / FAQ: Background, orientation, and answers to common questions about the site, the work, and how the pieces fit together.
I received my autism diagnosis July 2026 🧠, my extended family are not supportive now I'm unable to babysit and dash over to maintain their devices, I'm still dealing with unresolved institutional failures, but I am no longer waiting for permission to understand myself.
I received my Combined ADHD diagnosis in January 2026 and my GP at Scott Arms Medical Centre received official diagnosis of Combined ADHD on March 6th 2026, but still refuse to issue fitnotes that reflect my needs or meet reasonable adjustment requests around face to face appointments. I first asked in writing for reassessment in 2012, 14 years of ignored or deflected NHS requests Diane Wake, CEO, Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust .
So I created BridgeTranslate It takes the way someone naturally communicates, maps what they mean, asks them to confirm or correct it, and then translates that meaning into the format another person or organisation expects. The web version of Bridge Translate can be found here.
The person remains the owner of their meaning.
The source and specification are free and open for people and organisations to examine, customise and implement.
The NHS essentially forces people into private Assessments through unbearable waiting lists, and then refuses to engage with or accept those private diagnoses — Shared Care failures, refusal to issue fit notes, refusal to provide support or reasonable adjustments.
This site documents the operator’s manual I built while surviving systems that were not designed for my body, brain, communication style, or access needs.

For now, I am using what I have learned to keep participating in life.
