Did you know that approximately 1 in 7 adults exhibit traits of neurodivergence, yet many remain unaware of their unique brain wiring? Neurodivergence, much like fingerprints, highlights the individuality of how each person’s brain processes information, learns, and responds to the world. Mostly these traits go unrecognized into adulthood, leaving them puzzled by challenges or differences they may face in everyday life. This assessment is designed to help uncover patterns that may indicate characteristics of autism and/or ADHD, offering valuable insights into understanding oneself better and embracing the diverse ways in which the human mind operates.
Why Take This Assessment?
Life can feel like solving a puzzle where everyone else seems to have the instruction manual except you. Maybe you’ve wondered why certain tasks feel extra challenging, or why you experience the world differently from others. This assessment helps you explore these experiences and better understand yourself.
What This Tool Can Do for You
Think of this assessment as a compass, not a GPS. It won’t give you an exact diagnosis, but it will point you in directions worth exploring. The questions cover various aspects of daily life, from how you handle unexpected changes to how you process sensory information.
