Autism & Neurodiversity
Free tools & research for minds that don’t fit the template
Autism and neurodiversity is the core of MNEURIX. Sensory & regulation tools, visual schedules, communication boards, unmasking mappers, and evidence-cited research — all free, no signup. Everything runs in your browser and your data stays on your device — one exception, stated on the tool’s own page: Chrome’s built-in speech transcription sends audio to Google (the Voice Transcriber says so plainly, and Firefox keeps it on-device).
