Neurotype Check-In
20 questions across 5 dimensions: social interaction, communication style, sensory experience, routines, and cognitive style. A self-reflection tool, not a diagnosis.
What Is This Check-In?
The Neurotype Check-In looks at traits across five dimensions: social interaction, communication style, sensory experience, need for routine, and cognitive style. It is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnosis.
Many people reach adulthood without anyone naming these patterns for them — especially women, people of colour, and those who learned early on to hide or blend in. Putting words to how you experience the world can be genuinely useful, and a starting point if you want to talk to a professional.
This is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnosis. If you are struggling, talk to a licensed professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a clinical diagnosis?
No. This is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnosis. A formal evaluation involves detailed personal history, interviews, and standardised tools used by a qualified specialist. This check-in can highlight traits worth exploring with a professional, but it cannot diagnose. If you are struggling, talk to a licensed professional.
Can adults relate to these traits without ever knowing?
Yes — many adults, especially women, non-binary people, and people of colour, reach adulthood without ever hearing these traits named. Many have learned to hide them. If the experiences in this check-in resonate strongly with you, talking to a licensed professional is worthwhile regardless of what a short self-reflection says.
What should I do if I strongly relate to the results?
A few practical next steps: (1) In the UK — you can ask your GP for a referral. (2) In the US — you can look for a psychologist or psychiatrist who works with adults. (3) Peer communities online can offer support while you figure out next steps. This tool is not a substitute for any of that.
What is masking?
Masking (also called camouflaging) is when people suppress or hide their natural ways of behaving to appear more like the people around them — forcing eye contact, rehearsing conversations, hiding repetitive movements, copying expressions. Masking is exhausting and many people only notice they have been doing it once they learn there is a word for it.
How is this different from the Focus & Energy Check-In?
They look at different patterns. This check-in looks at social communication, sensory experience, routines, and cognitive style. The Focus & Energy Check-In looks at attention, restlessness, and impulse patterns. Many people relate to both — you can take both separately.
