My brain has Autism. My brain has ADHD. That means some things feel different to me, some things move fast, some things need time, and some things that look easy to you…

Right, apparently Britain needed part two, because there’s loads more stupid shit we do. We covered the weather, the tea and the queue, but somehow that barely scratched through.

I’ve got autism, ADHD, so basically fuck knows which version you’ll see. One likes routine, one kicks in the door, one wants peace, one’s ordered three things more.

We drank from hoses, climbed dodgy trees, rode bikes down hills with bloodied knees. No helmets, pads or parental guide, just “bet you can’t”… then nearly fucking di

Being British is a strange old game, we moan about weather, then stand in the rain. We’ll say “not bad” when life’s gone to shit, put kettle on and just deal with it. Because…

This for the men who laugh too loud when the room goes quiet and dark, the ones who say “I’m sound, mate,” with a riot in their heart. The ones who fix everybody else…

I hit forty and the mask came loose, not gentle, not clean, not nice, more like life grabbed the zip at the back and ripped the bastard twice. All them years acting normal, smiling,…

Chris Rewired on Patreon
Poet, artist and slightly chaotic bloke from Hull. I write about mental health, real life and the stuff we usually keep buried. The aim was always to help someone feel a little less alone. Patreon is for anyone who wants to support the person behind that work.
Your support helps towards vocal lessons, recording, equipment, software, travel and keeping life ticking over while I create new music and poetry. It helps me keep learning, keep building Chris Rewired and keep supporting the causes that matter to me.
No pressure. Listening, sharing and simply being here already means a lot.
Vocal lessons, recording practice and the work that turns an idea into something I can make my own.
Equipment, software and the practical costs behind the music, poetry and everything still taking shape.
The time and breathing space to keep creating, keep improving and share the journey as it happens.

No. Patreon supports Chris and the creative work directly. Charity fundraising remains separate.
No. Listening, reading, sharing and being here already matters. Patreon is simply an optional way to offer more support.
No. The plan for Loose Wires is a free public podcast covering life, mental health, AuDHD, poetry, music and your questions. Patreon is for the extra behind-the-scenes side of the journey, not a replacement for the public show.
