Today I’m launching neurodiversity.wiki, a crowdsourced project fighting misconceptions about mental health conditions like ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Autism and more. There are a few reasons for this:
First, the neurodivergent community experiences a lot of misinformation on social media. The project was only about OCD at first, but we realized it could expand to cover misinformation on other conditions. There was no reason to silo it to different websites, so we made this.

The second reason is that our content is written by people actually experiencing the conditions. For everyone, by neurodiverse people. We were done feeling misrepresented by certain organizations and research.
The third reason is that we’re global by default. Feedback comes from all corners of the world. Our first version is in English, but translated pages are in the roadmap. Our crowdsourced and internet-first nature makes this possible.
Check it out, and tell me what you think!
