A Mama Mothy field notebook
The Squirrel Files
Questions worth asking, even when I don’t know the answers.
What this is
A personal archive of curiosities, half-baked theories, and genuine open questions — each one worth examining, even if the answers don’t exist yet.
Think of it as a whiteboard mid-thought. Informal, but research-supported. The kind of ideas an AUDHD brain generates on the way to somewhere else — brilliant, occasionally unhinged, and every so often genuinely worth chasing down.

A curious mind is welcome here
If you’re a researcher, academic, or simply someone who can’t stop wondering — and one of these files snagged your attention — reach out. Some of these questions deserve better than a notebook margin, and I’d love to see where a real investigation could take them.
Research Services
Have a squirrel of your own?
Some questions don’t let go. If you have an idea, theory, or rabbit hole you’d like explored, Mama Mothy offers independent research services to help find credible sources, existing research, related ideas, and the places your question might lead.

File #002
Different Minds, Same Classroom
A question about how to support one child’s experience in a classroom became a deep investigation into cognitive diversity — inner speech, mental imagery, reading comprehension, and how differently students may think.
