Neurodiverge is a small independent team building free self-screens and long-form guides for adults who suspect they might be neurodivergent — and for parents raising neurodivergent kids. We are not a clinic. We are not selling assessments. We are not taking referral money from providers we wouldn’t send our own friends to.
The shape of the problem we’re trying to fix
If you take any of the “am I autistic?” or “do I have ADHD?” quizzes that currently rank at the top of Google, you’ll notice three things. The questions are recycled. The scoring is opaque. The result is usually a vague paragraph that ends with “consult a professional” and a button to buy a course.
That’s not because the people who built those tests are bad people. It’s because building a real, validated, identity-first self-screen is more expensive than building a templated one, and until recently the audience wasn’t large enough to make the real version commercially worth it. The audience is large now. The work is overdue.
What we do differently
Three things, concretely.
Validated instruments, translated. Our screens are built from RAADS-14 (autism), ASRS-v1.1 (ADHD), Dunn-inspired sensory items, and the lived-experience literature on AuDHD overlap. We translate the items into plain identity-first English without losing the discriminating signal. Where the validated instruments miss the AuDHD-specific signatures (hyperfocus + executive failure, interoceptive flooding, masking burnout), we add items from the self-report literature and clearly mark them as such.
Result pages that do something.Every score comes with a dimension breakdown (which trait clusters showed up highest), a plain-English explanation of what that does and doesn’t mean, and three concrete next steps with named providers we’ve actually checked. No “consult a professional” dead-ends.
Editorial reviewed by neurodivergent adults.Every guide is reviewed by autistic, ADHD, or AuDHD adults before publication. We credit contributors on every page. We use identity-first language and we do not recommend ABA or use functioning labels — both are widely rejected by the communities we serve.
Who’s actually behind this
We’re a small independent team, currently writing anonymously. That’s a deliberate choice — the neurodivergent space has a long history of public personalities being attacked for telling people things they don’t want to hear, and we’d rather the writing speak for itself than spend energy on social-media positioning. We do credit named neurodivergent reviewers and contributors on individual pages where they’ve given consent.
If you want to know whether a clinician we recommend is real, the answer is: yes, every provider we name has been independently checked, and if any of them slips on neuroaffirming practice we remove the recommendation. The reverse also holds — we don’t take payment from providers to be listed.
What we’ll never do
- Call neurodivergent traits “symptoms of a disorder” in a way that frames you as broken.
- Recommend Applied Behavior Analysis, or link to clinicians who use it.
- Use functioning labels (“high-functioning” / “low-functioning”).
- Pretend a 5-minute online quiz can diagnose you.
- Gate safety-critical content behind a paywall.
- Sell your email address, your quiz answers, or your reading patterns to anyone.
How we plan to make money
Eventually: an optional paid tier with a regulation tracker, an AI coach trained on our content (with strict neuroaffirming guardrails), and a fuller course library. Pricing will be transparent and the free tier will always include the screens, the safety-critical content, and the basics. We’ll also have affiliate links to ND-affirming therapy and assessment services — flagged clearly as affiliate, and only to providers we actually recommend.
Talk to us
Email hello@neurodiverge.app. A human reads everything. We typically reply within a business day. If you’ve found an inaccuracy, a clinician we shouldn’t be recommending, or a phrasing that lands wrong — tell us directly.
If you want to take the test: AuDHD Test, Neurodivergent Test, Sensory Profile Test.
