How To Human

Private practice for autistic burnout recovery and unmasking.

Learn the hidden maps behind unmasking at work, autistic burnout recovery, and decoding neurotypical communication - without shame, performance pressure, or forced positivity. A private, local-first interactive space designed for adult neurodivergence.

A private space to practice being human.

How To Human helps you practice conversations, boundaries, and self-accommodation in a private, AI-assisted practice space.

The goal is not artificial normalization or masking harder. The goal is less shame, more clarity, calmer participation, and a more workable human life.

Local-first notes

Chat history and scratchpad stay in your browser. Messages you send are processed so the guide can reply — we do not keep a permanent account archive. Details on the privacy page.

Anti-Shame & Affirming

Zero ABA frameworks, zero pathologizing language, and zero cure-mentality. We treat burnout, shutdowns, and sensory overwhelm as predictable nervous system responses.

Low-Capacity Adaptation

Before each session you can choose low-capacity mode. The guide keeps replies short, offers micro-tasks, and treats one-word answers as enough. You can change settings mid-session.

Your privacy is not a feature. It is our architecture.

Because neurodivergent individuals are disproportionately vulnerable to workplace surveillance and institutional gatekeeping, H2H is built local-first.

Drafts, notes, and chat history stay in your browser storage. When you send a message, it is processed so the guide can reply (via our server and an AI provider). We do not keep a permanent account archive of your conversations. Full detail on the privacy page.

How To Human exists because many people were expected to understand complex social and emotional systems they were never explicitly taught.

Needing a clearer, neutral map is not a failure.
