This article describes some of my history with autism and savant syndrome and offers some guidance on having a happy, productive life with these traits. </p><p><a href="http://danne.stayskal.com/writing/autism_resources.html">Continue reading&hellip;</a></p> Wed, 26 Apr 2017 00:00:00 -0700 Trauma Resources http://danne.stayskal.com/writing/trauma_resources.html http://danne.stayskal.com/writing/trauma_resources.html <p>Prolonged and extreme periods of helplessness can be traumatic. This is an in-depth snapshot of the techniques that have worked for me to survive and recover from traumatic experiences.

It also causes me to work with math, language, and music as patterns of colors that interact in predictable ways. This is the essay form of the talk I gave at <a href="http://tedxsalem.us/">TEDxSalem</a> on this, as well as a demonstration of a performance of classical music on <a href="/artwork/synaesthesia_guitar/">a guitar that demonstrates what the music looks like to me</a>. </p><p><a href="http://danne.stayskal.com/writing/envisioning_synaesthesia.html">Continue reading&hellip;</a></p> Sat, 13 Sep 2014 00:00:00 -0700 You Don't Need Permission http://danne.stayskal.com/writing/you_dont_need_permission.html http://danne.stayskal.com/writing/you_dont_need_permission.html <p><strong>To Encrypt Your Data and Communicate Securely</strong><br /><br /> I recently presented a talk on some good ways to use cryptography to improve your life, using some of my activism to illustrate its functionality.
