Tools that work with your brain, not against it.
Curated AI tools for neurodivergent minds. No scoring. No judgment.
No tool here is perfect. No AI is unbiased. You are always the authority on what works for you.
Think With Me
Tools for the space between "I need to do something" and knowing what to do.
These demos use built-in examples. For full AI-powered versions, try Goblin.tools (free, browser-based, no account needed).
Discover Tools

Visit LeechBlock NG →How We Choose Tools
Not every "helpful" tool actually helps.
What we look for
What we reject
The core test: does this tool help you do what you were already trying to do — or does it create a new thing to perform for?
Tools by Profile
Mapped to friction points, not diagnoses. Use whatever helps.
Tools by Field
Same tools, different contexts. Colored dots show which profiles benefit most.
Many tools appear across multiple fields and profiles. Good tools are flexible, and brains don't fit neatly into categories.
Where AI Supports — and Where It Can Harm
Honesty about limitations is not optional. Please read this section.
AI should not be used for
Diagnosis
AI cannot diagnose ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or any condition. It does not know you. It cannot assess context or history.
Hiring or Evaluation
AI evaluation systems consistently disadvantage neurodivergent people and anyone who communicates differently from training data.
Judging Intelligence
Writing style, speed, and communication patterns are not proxies for capability. AI measuring these things is measuring conformity.
Replacing Accommodations
"Just use AI" is not a substitute for workplace accommodations, educational support, or accessibility infrastructure.
Why productivity metrics cause harm
Your rights when using AI tools
AI is a cognitive assistant, not an authority. Human accommodations and accessibility remain essential.
This platform does not promise transformation. It does not glorify AI. It is a curated collection of tools that might reduce some friction on some days for some people. That is a modest claim, and an honest one.
