Checklist
Neurodivergence refers to natural variations in how the brain processes information, affecting learning, attention, social interaction, and sensory experiences. Common neurodivergent conditions include ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and others.
This comprehensive questionnaire helps you identify patterns in your thinking, behaviour, and experiences that may indicate neurodivergent traits. Many adults discover their neurodivergence later in life, leading to better self-understanding and improved life strategies.
- Personal patterns in how you process information and interact with the world
- Strengths and challenges across different areas of life
- Insights that may explain lifelong experiences or difficulties
- Starting point for holistic or diagnostic assessment, if desired
- Childhood experiences and education
- Attention and focus patterns
- Sensory processing preferences
- Social interaction styles
- Emotional regulation
- Motor skills and coordination
- Planning and organisation abilities
This is a self-assessment tool, not a diagnostic instrument. Professional evaluation by qualified healthcare providers or psychologists is required for formal diagnosis. This questionnaire serves as a starting point for self-reflection and professional discussion.
This questionnaire is designed to help you explore whether you may have traits associated with neurodivergence.
Please answer each question with a simple "yes" or "no" based on your general experience.
If several of the questions felt familiar or strongly resonated with your experience, it may be a sign that you're navigating the world in a neurodivergent way—even if you’ve never had a formal diagnosis.
This insight can be a powerful starting point for self-reflection and self-understanding. Many people who score highly on this checklist go on to explore how their brain works, why they’ve faced certain challenges, and what their unique strengths truly are.
- Your neurodivergent traits (including attention differences, autistic traits, dyspraxia, and dyslexia)
- How you learn and process information
- Your masking patterns, burnout risk, and wellbeing profile
- Personalised strategies to help you thrive
Understanding yourself is not about fixing anything—it’s about coming home to who you really are.
