Understanding Your Neurodivergent Test Results

Decoding Your Trait Profile: What the Scores Mean

Your test results map patterns across key dimensions like social communication, sensory processing, attention regulation, and executive functioning. These aren't diagnostic labels but neurodivergent trait indicators revealing where your natural tendencies differ from neurotypical norms. Higher scores in specific areas might explain lifelong quirks—like why fluorescent lights feel physically painful or why you hyperfocus on passion projects.

Common Patterns: From AuDHD to Sensory Processing Differences

Many users discover they exhibit traits spanning multiple neurotypes. The AuDHD profile (combined autism and ADHD characteristics) frequently emerges, where intense focus coexists with impulsivity. Others identify with sensory processing differences manifesting as food sensitivities or noise overwhelm. Remember: overlapping traits are normal in neurodiversity's beautiful spectrum.

FAQ Section

How accurate are the Neurodivergent Test results?

Think of this as a starting point for self-discovery rather than a medical diagnosis. Many people find our results align with their personal experiences.

Should I seek a professional diagnosis after taking the test?

Consider formal assessment if you need academic/work accommodations or suspect co-occurring conditions. Our assessment guide helps determine if this step makes sense for you.

What's the difference between self-diagnosis and professional assessment?

Self-identification through tools like our neurodivergent screening is valid for personal understanding. Professional diagnoses provide medical documentation sometimes required for support services.

How can I explain my test results to others?

Our printable neurodivergence explainer kits help communicate your needs using positive, non-medical language that focuses on strengths and reasonable accommodations.
