About Neurish
 

What is Neurish?

Neurish is a neurodivergent social app designed for autistic adults, people with ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, Tourette’s, PDA and other neurodevelopmental profiles. It offers interest‑based matching, low-stim design and community spaces built for people who prefer predictable, low-pressure social interaction.
 

Who is Neurish for?

Neurish is for neurodivergent adults and parents, including autistic people, people with ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, Tourette’s, PDA and anyone who experiences social struggles or prefers calmer digital spaces. You do not need a diagnosis to join.
 

How does Neurish work?

Neurish connects people through interest‑based matching, neurodivergent friendly design and community groups. You create a profile, choose your interests and communication preferences, and Neurish helps you find people who align with your pace, style and lived experience.

 

Joining Neurish
 

Can I join through the website?

Where do I download the Neurish app?

You can download Neurish through the link on our website here, which directs you to the correct app store for your device.

 

Matching and Connection
 

How does the matching work?

We use a sophisticated algorithm that analyses your interests, preferences and neurodivergent profile to find compatible connections in our community.
 

How does interest‑based matching work?

Neurish matches autistic adults, people with ADHD and other neurodivergent users based on shared interests, communication preferences and comfort levels rather than proximity.
 

Does Neurish support different communication styles?

Yes. You can choose your preferred interaction style, as well as the choice to show your profile image. Neurish helps match you with people who align with your preferences.

 

Using Neurish
 

What are Neurish groups?

Groups are interest and support-based spaces where users connect around shared topics, hobbies or lived experiences. They are moderated and designed to feel safe and predictable.
 

How does messaging work?

Messaging is calm, structured and designed to reduce pressure. You can choose communication preferences, set boundaries and interact at your own pace.
 

Can I customise my profile?

Yes. You can personalise your interests, communication preferences, sensory needs and visibility settings to help Neurish match you more accurately.
 

What is low stim mode?

Low stim mode reduces visual intensity, animations and sensory load. It is ideal for autistic users, people with ADHD and anyone who prefers calmer digital environments.
