What you get

400 cards, delivered the moment you check out. Print them, keep them on your phone, or read them straight off the screen on a day when printing anything is out of the question.

In the download:

• A print-ready PDF, 12 cards to a page at 2 x 3 inches, about 34 pages if you run the whole thing

• A single-card-per-page version for large-format printing or reading on a screen

• Your unlock code for the Dopamine Farming app, so all 400 live in your pocket too

You do not have to print all 400. Most people run one page, cut it up, and carry the handful that applies to the week they are actually having.

Yours permanently. No subscription, no account to keep alive, no login that expires the week you finally need it. Download it again any time.

How you get it

Your files arrive by email within a few minutes of checkout, along with the link that adds this deck to the Dopamine Farming app.

If nothing shows up, check spam and promotions first, because digital delivery emails love to hide there. Still nothing after ten minutes, email us and we will send the files to you directly. You will not have to fight anybody to get the thing you paid for.

Is this deck for you?

[One or two lines about this specific deck: which wing it belongs to, which flavour of stuck it meets, and what somebody is usually in the middle of when they reach for it.]

Built by a neurodivergent educator for neurodivergent brains. No shame, no productivity gospel, no assumption that you would be fine if you just tried harder. The problem was never that you are lazy. The problem is that most systems were designed for a brain that is not yours.

Instructions For Existing In Public While Overstimulated

Public is a sensory event.

This small survival manual was created for anyone who has ever sat in a parking lot psyching themselves up to enter a grocery store, hidden in a bathroom during a social event, or felt their nervous system slowly dissolve beneath fluorescent lights and too many overlapping conversations.

Instructions For Existing In Public While Overstimulated is a poetic field guide for surviving public life while autistic, ADHD, anxious, sensory-sensitive, burned out, overwhelmed, or simply profoundly human.

Inside you’ll find:
• sensory survival strategies
• exit scripts
• public regulation tools
• nervous system support ideas
• practical grounding techniques
• permission to stop forcing yourself to “push through”

Written in concise, emotionally resonant field-guide style, this zine is designed to feel like a compassionate older sibling handing you a survival manual in the food court.

Existing in public while overstimulated is skilled labor.
