About

I am a Research Scholar and writer whose work draws on autism spectrum conditions, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and cognitive neuroscience. I am the author of Wrong Planet / Right Mind: Dispatches from a Late-Diagnosed Autistic on Logic, Masking, and the Life Nobody Explained (Fixed Point Press, 2026) and of theoretical papers on anticipatory scripting, epiphanesthesia, and hospital access methodology for autistic patients, deposited on Zenodo and accessible via ORCiD. I hold a CPD-accredited certification in neurodiversity coaching (IPHM, 2026). I publish regularly in The Unexpected Autistic Life and Invisible Illness, and founded and edit Materia | Philosophy of Consciousness, a publication on the philosophy of mind and the neuroscience of consciousness, both on Medium. My research is conducted at the Ronin Institute for Independent Scholarship 2.0 (RIIS 2.0), outside any traditional academic department, on the basis of more than thirty years of self-directed study in depth psychology and psychoanalytic theory. I was diagnosed autistic at forty-eight. Nearly thirty years in clinical and military environments, first as a military police officer with the 7th Carabinieri Regiment and with the Italian Military Red Cross, then across surgical departments at Humanitas Research Hospital in Milan and Vithas Lleida in Catalonia, inform the precision and the stakes of everything I write.
