Neurodivergent Experiences

05/21/2026

Hey everyone — I was recently reached out to by Jonathan, an indie app developer and late-discovery autistic adult who built something I think a lot of you will find genuinely useful.

It's called Unmasked — a free self-assessment app for adults exploring autism and ADHD. It includes the AQ-10, RAADS-R, CAT-Q, and ASRS-v1.1 screeners with AI interpretation, sensory profiling, masking tracker, social scripts, and crisis support.

What stood out to me is the story behind it. Jonathan built it because his daughter's diagnosis started his own journey of self-discovery. No deficit framing, no clinical jargon, no ads. Just something built with genuine care for this community.

I downloaded it and I love it. Thought you all should know about it.

Neurodivergent Experiences (NDXP) is pleased to present our collaboration with Scott Schuster and Postage Stamp Ping Pong Inc. (PS Pong)

PS Pong is a community initiative to reclaim under-utilized lots, while also inspiring inner-city communities through the games of ping pong and chess.

Why is NDXP collaborating with PS Pong? Various studies have shown benefits from both ping pong and chess for autistics and neurodivergents, with socialization, communication, and motor skills.

With the benefits provided by the activities that PS Pong provides, for the group NDXP is focusing on, we both feel that this collaboration will be beneficial for the community at large.

🕯

Justin fell to his death and lay on the ground until a passerby happened to notice him. The New Jersey day program that was paid to care for him was required to provide line-of-sight supervision at all times, yet staff did not even realize he was missing. 💔

Every year in New Jersey, an estimated 120 people with disabilities die unexpectedly in state-funded facilities. Justin is just one of them — a cherished son whose life should have been protected, not lost to neglect. 🕊️

We are deeply grateful to Congressman Chris Smith and his office for arranging this honor for Justin. 🇺🇸 

To help support Justin’s family in this time of profound grief, please visit: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-kims-family-through-this-devastating-loss. 🙏

*nods* A local student in my area.

WAY TO GO! 👏👏 Albany High senior Matilda Gish says autism can make everyday school noise overwhelming, but she has learned how to manage it and build a path toward her future. Gish runs cross country and track, plays alto sax in multiple ensembles and ranks in the top 10 of her graduating class.

After graduation, Gish will attend Russell Sage College to study nutrition. She said she wants to help others find balance and stay true to themselves.
