AskSheldon is a free, AI-powered neurodiversity assessment and education platform built in the United Kingdom. It helps neurodivergent adults understand their brains through clinical-gradescreening tools, interactive education covering 30+ neurotypes, and a conversational navigator trained on neurodiversity topics. For clinicians, AskSheldon provides an Agentic MDT evidence scaffolding pipeline inspired by real clinical collaborative workflows, generating structured evidence reports aligned with DSM-5 criteria and NICE guidelines.

The platform takes a strengths-based, affirming approach to neurodiversity. Rather than framing conditions as deficits, AskSheldon presents each neurotype as a set of genuine trade-offs — real strengths alongside real challenges. Interactive empathy simulations allow neurotypical family members, educators, and colleagues to experience neurodivergent perspectives first-hand, building understanding that goes beyond reading about a condition.
