Basic Info| Name: | Dora |

BioI am an Alchemist. I take forces like information and insanity, fuse them with some paint and some math and some text, and process them in the furnace of my mind and body to produce gold.
I was trained as a painter, and have worked in high technology doing information architecture, software engineering, web administration, and technical communications. I am autistic, and deeply interested in autistic rights and advocacy; I am co-director of the Academic Autistic Spectrum Partnership in Research and Education project and work with the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, as well as local developmental disability rights organizations. I am currently a master's student at Portland State University in Systems Science.
This is my personal blog full of boring stuff like to do lists or whining about being cold. If you're interested in my public writing, please see change.org.

Friending: Please leave a comment and I'll add you. I add basically everyone.
I write pretty much exclusively about the topics listed in my interests. Sometimes I write about just one of those for an extended period of time. *shrug*
