A reflective neurodivergent person surrounded by layered thoughts, feelings and sensory imagery
Understand

Understanding your brain starts here.

Sometimes the hardest part of being neurodivergent is not knowing why something feels harder, louder, bigger or simply different. This part of 8DHD is being built to make that easier to explore.

Self-checks and reflection tools

Could I be neurodivergent?

Explore traits and everyday experiences that may feel familiar, then decide what you want to do next. These tools support reflection and do not provide a diagnosis.

Available now

ADHD

Explore adult ADHD traits with the official six-question ASRS screener, optional reflection prompts and an attention task.

Available now

Autism

Explore autistic traits, patterns and sensory preferences with a private self-reflection questionnaire and optional tasks.

Self-checks are for adults and for information and self-reflection only. They cannot diagnose ADHD, autism or any other condition.

Real experiences, without assumptions.

Neurodivergent life can look different from one person to the next. These starting points are here to support reflection and clearer conversations, not to diagnose or define anyone.

Sensory experiences

Explore why light, sound, touch and busy environments can sometimes feel difficult to filter.

Executive functioning

Make space for honest discussion of starting, switching, remembering and completing everyday tasks.

Emotional regulation

Look at how feelings can arrive quickly, feel physically intense and take time to settle.

Masking and overwhelm

Recognise the effort involved in appearing fine and the recovery time that may follow social or sensory pressure.

Sleep and busy minds

Explore lived experiences of light, sound, travel and a brain that has not yet slowed down.
