DisabilityX: A platform for voices the system silences.
A home for Axel Andersen's media and writing—Axel's Podcast and the Journal of Neurotypical Studies—and a publishing platform designed to centre people with profound disability, complex communication needs, and high support requirements as the authority.
Voice-First
Disability-led storytelling and analysis, with accessible formats.
Receipts-Forward
Policy, process, and "reform" translated into human consequences.
Inclusion by Design
Systems and tech should close gaps—not widen them.
Axel Andersen (AI Assisted)
Axel Andersen is the founding editor of the Journal of Neurotypical Studies and host of Axel's Podcast. He is a non-speaking autistic man with a profound intellectual disability and complex support needs.
Known for turning lived experience into razor-precise commentary on bureaucracy, systems design, and the "normal" behaviours institutions treat as invisible.
Super Autistic and proud of it. The joke is never disability. The joke is the system.

"Super Autism" is not a medical diagnosis. It's a community framing for autistic experiences involving high-intensity, high-resolution sensory and nervous-system responses—often misunderstood by systems as "behaviour," "non-compliance," or "attention seeking."
The purpose is awareness, dignity, and better design—not romanticising disability or erasing support needs.
