Neuro Toolkit
pilotA toolkit for brains with ADHD, autism, or both — field-tested ways for everyday challenges.
Start from what you are actually dealing with. Click — and you get methods straight away. If you want to understand why, drill deeper: into mechanisms and the research.
Everyday & body
-
Can't get started (boring tasks)
You know you must — paperwork, a form, a call — but the brain just won't start, because there's no novelty or reward in it.
-
Everything falls apart — time, mess, organisation
You're always late, time-blind, drowning in clutter, and can't keep daily logistics or routines together.
-
Dysregulated sleep
Can't fall asleep, going to bed too late, broken sleep — or all of it at once.
-
Energy and burnout
Your head signs you up for more than the body can carry; even beloved work in hyperfocus can end in burnout.
Mind & emotions
-
Emotions out of control — anger, shame, taking things personally
Emotions throw you around: you explode, feel shame, think in black-and-white, and sometimes can't even tell what you feel.
-
Losing thoughts / interrupting
You're afraid you'll forget, so you cut others off; an uncaptured thought 'eats' your working memory for a week.
-
Fear and avoidance
You delay, dodge, rationalise — anything to not feel the discomfort. The more you fight the fear, the bigger it grows.
-
I can't handle rejection — rejection sensitivity (RSD)
Rejection and criticism hit you disproportionately hard, and you constantly feel like people are mad at you.
-
I feel broken and worthless
You beat yourself up, feel never-enough, carry impostor syndrome, and can't accept or like yourself.
-
Life feels empty and meaningless
Nothing feels good, you feel empty and purposeless — like you're just existing, not living. Sometimes with thoughts that you don't want to be alive.
Self & identity
-
Do I even have this? — self-screening and late adult diagnosis
You recognise yourself in autism/ADHD/AuDHD traits, look for tests and a diagnosis, and process what it means to find out only now.
-
I feel different and keep pretending — who am I really?
You mask to fit in, burn out from faking normal, and don't know if your neurodivergence is a flaw or a strength.
People & relationships
-
I can't connect socially — cues, small talk, loneliness
You miss social cues, overshare or are too blunt, struggle to make and keep friends, and feel alone.
-
Dating and relationships aren't working out
You struggle to find and keep a partner and relationships fall apart — boundaries, trust, the friendzone, loneliness.
-
Sex, porn, and intimacy — shame and compulsion
Struggling with porn, hypersexuality, or the opposite — low libido, shame around sex, virginity, and intimacy.
Control & direction
-
Addictions — gaming, screens, scrolling, substances
You can't rein in gaming, the phone, screen dopamine or substances, and the brain keeps offering easy hits.
-
Work and career overwhelm me
You can't keep up with demands, accommodations or a career path, and feel you're wasting your potential and falling behind.
-
The past holds me — trauma, toxic parents, grief
You dwell on old wounds, carry toxic childhood relationships and unprocessed loss.
-
Looking for therapy that fits the brain
Tried therapy and it 'didn't work'? The modality matters enormously for a neurodivergent brain — not every kind fits.
