    FOUNDATION

    Series 00: Foundation

    NC-01 Secure Signal TAP TO REVEAL
    NC-01 Secure Signal

    You are a safe/trusted person. I am comfortable being unmasked and honest about my needs with you.

    NC-02 Body Double Required TAP TO REVEAL
    NC-02 Body Double Required

    My ability to sustain focus is tied to the presence of another person (physical or virtual). Their presence acts as a grounding anchor for my nervous system.

    SENSORY

    Series 10: Sensory & Input

    NC-10Sensory OverloadTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-10Sensory Overload

    My sensory system is maxed out. Lights, sounds, or textures are too intense right now. I need a reduced-input environment to regulate.

    NC-11Sensory SeekingTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-11Sensory Seeking

    My nervous system is understimulated. I need movement, pressure, texture, or sound input to feel grounded and present.

    NC-12Noise Threshold ReachedTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-12Noise Threshold Reached

    Background noise has hit my limit. I can't filter conversation from ambient sound. Quiet or headphones are required.

    NC-13Tactile & Surface SensitivityTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-13Tactile Sensitivity

    My skin is hypersensitive or a texture/fabric in the environment is causing physical distress. Please avoid unexpected touch.

    NC-14Visual Noise & GlareTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-14Visual Noise

    Cluttered environments, flickering lights, busy screens, or harsh glares are disrupting my focus. I need a visually calm space.

    NC-15Scent SensitivityTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-15Scent Sensitivity

    A smell in this environment is causing physical distress. I may need to relocate or the scent source needs to be removed.

    NC-16Cognitive Interface OverwhelmTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-16Interface Overwhelm

    The layout of the digital or physical system/info I am interacting with is too cluttered or illogical to process accurately right now.

    NC-17Thermal Regulation DistressTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-17Thermal Distress

    My internal "thermostat" is failing. High ambient heat is causing a rapid drain on my cognitive resources.

    NC-18Auditory Echo InterferenceTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-18Echo Interference

    Multiple competing sound sources are creating an "auditory wall" that prevents me from isolating specific information.

    NC-19Selective Mutism ActiveTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-19Selective Mutism

    An anxiety-based physical inability to speak in specific social or high-pressure contexts. This is distinct from a total loss of language.

    COMMUNICATION

    Series 20: Processing & Communication

    NC-20Processing DelayTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-20Processing Delay

    I heard you, but my brain needs extra time to interpret what was said. Please wait before repeating or continuing.

    NC-21Cognitive Load FullTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-21Cognitive Load Full

    My working memory is at capacity. Adding more information right now will cause dropout. I need a pause to offload.

    NC-22Context Switch CostTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-22Context Switch Cost

    Switching tasks requires significant mental rampup time. Interruptions now will cost 20-plus minutes of re-entry.

    NC-23HyperfocusTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-23Hyperfocus

    I am in a deep focus state. Interrupting now is costly. My peripheral awareness of my environment/to-do list is currently offline.

    NC-24Executive Function LowTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-24Executive Function Low

    Starting tasks, switching, or sequencing is difficult right now. I may need a clear first step or external structure to begin.

    NC-25Written Over VerbalTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-25Written Over Verbal

    My verbal processing is impaired. Please send this in writing. I will respond more accurately via text than speech.

    NC-26Mono-Channel ProcessingTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-26Mono-Channel

    I am capable of high-level output in one channel (e.g., Task OR Talk) but cannot split my focus between two simultaneous inputs.

    NC-27Pattern RecognitionTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-27Pattern Recognition

    I have spotted a recurring logic, error, or efficiency in the current system. I need a moment to map out this connection.

    SOCIAL

    Series 30: Social Integration

    NC-30Masking FatigueTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-30Masking Fatigue

    I have been performing neurotypical social norms for extended time. My social battery is depleted. I need to be authentic or alone.

    NC-31Direct Mode RequestedTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-31Direct Mode

    I cannot sustain surface-level conversation or social filler right now. I am available for meaningful exchange but not subtext.

    NC-32Literal InterpretationTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-32Literal Mode

    I am processing language literally right now. Sarcasm, metaphor, or indirect requests may be misread. Please be direct.

    NC-33Eye Contact CostTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-33Eye Contact Cost

    Maintaining eye contact is using significant cognitive resources. I may look away to think; this is attentiveness, not disrespect.

    NC-34Social RechargeTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-34Social Recharge

    I need solitary, low-demand time to recover from social interaction. This is not rejection. I will re-engage when regulated.

    NC-35Script Not AvailableTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-35Script Unavailable

    This is an unexpected social situation and I do not have a prepared response. Please give me a moment to formulate.

    NC-36Transition BufferTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-36Transition Buffer

    I am moving between states (e.g., task to social). I am physically present, but my internal data is still "uploading" to the new context.

    NC-37Regulatory MovementTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-37Regulatory Movement

    I am using physical movement or vocalisation to process high energy and maintain my internal baseline.

    COGNITION

    Series 40: Maintenance & Cognition

    NC-40Body Cue MissedTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-40Body Cue Missed

    I have not noticed hunger, thirst, or a need for movement. I may need an external prompt for basic self-maintenance.

    NC-41Task Initiation BlockTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-41Initiation Block

    I know what needs to be done but cannot start. This is not avoidance. I need a body double, a timer, or a micro first step.

    NC-42Time Blindness ActiveTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-42Time Blindness

    My sense of time is distorted right now. I cannot accurately estimate how long things take or how much time has passed.

    NC-43Sleep Debt ImpactTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-43Sleep Debt Impact

    I am operating under sleep deficit. My regulation, processing, and output capacity are significantly reduced.

    NC-44Demand Avoidance StateTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-44Demand Avoidance

    External demands are triggering an autonomic resistance response. Reduce pressure and increase perceived choice to support re-engagement.

    NC-45Routine DisruptionTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-45Routine Disruption

    An expected routine has been broken. My nervous system needs time to adjust.

    NC-46Proprioception FailureTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-46Proprioception

    Temporary loss of "body in space" awareness. I may be clumsy, bump into objects, or misjudge physical distances.

    NC-47Persistence DeficitTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-47Persistence Deficit

    If a person, task, or object is not in my direct field of vision, my brain has de-indexed its existence.

    NC-48Decision ParalysisTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-48Decision Paralysis

    Faced with multiple options of equal weight, my internal "sorting" system has stalled. I cannot determine priority and need an external tie-breaker.

    EMERGENCY

    Series 50: Emergency & Advocacy

    NC-50Shutdown ImminentTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-50Shutdown Imminent

    I am approaching a full neurological shutdown. I need immediate removal from stimulation and space to be non-verbal and still.

    NC-51Meltdown RiskTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-51Meltdown Risk

    I am at the edge of a stress response that may appear as an emotional outburst. This is involuntary. Reduce demands and stimulation now.

    NC-52Safe Space RequiredTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-52Safe Space Required

    I need to access a physically safe, low-stimulation environment immediately. Please help remove barriers to this.

    NC-53Non-Verbal StateTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-53Non-Verbal State

    I have lost access to spoken language. I can still communicate via writing, gestures, or AAC. Do not force speech.

    NC-54Freeze Response ActiveTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-54Freeze Response

    My nervous system has entered a freeze state. I appear unresponsive but I am aware. Calm, low-demand presence helps.

    NC-55Support Person NeededTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-55Support Person

    I need my identified support person contacted immediately. I am not able to advocate for myself in this moment.

    NC-56 Tone Triggered TAP TO REVEAL
    NC-56 Tone Triggered

    The current communication style (shaming/threatening) has triggered a survival response, making logical processing impossible.

    NC-57Observed FrictionTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-57Observed Friction

    My cognitive or motor skills are degrading specifically because I am being watched or evaluated.

    NC-58External RedirectionTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-58Redirection

    I am "locked" in a loop (thought, action, or social). I require a neutral, direct prompt to shift my focus without emotional escalation.

    NC-59Auditory ProcessingTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-59APD Active

    I can hear the sound perfectly, but my brain cannot "decode" the words. They currently sound garbled or unintelligible.

    GROWTH

    Series 60: Growth & Connection

    NC-60Reinforcement DeficitTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-60Reinforcement Deficit

    My motivation system requires a genuine "win" or positive acknowledgement to restart after a high-stress period.

    NC-61Info-Dump ModeTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-61Info-Dump

    I am sharing a deep interest to regulate and bond. This is an act of connection; please join my flow.

    NC-62Synchronised FlowTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-62Synchronised Flow

    I am in a state of high-harmony with my environment or a partner. Let us maintain this rhythm without unnecessary interruption.

    NC-63Positive StimmingTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-63Positive Stimming

    I am processing high-positive energy. I may use physical movement or vocalisation to celebrate and process this energy.

    NC-64Metacognitive FatigueTAP TO REVEAL
    NC-64Metacognitive Fatigue

    My executive monitoring system has stalled. I cannot plan, prioritize, or process my own status until I have had a period of zero-demand rest to reboot the system.

    The Accessibility Promise

    The digital AuDHMe™ Neuropedia and Neuro-Codes will always stay 100% free and open-access.

    When you're in the middle of a shutdown or sensory overload, unlocking your phone, navigating apps, and typing is often impossible. Physical cards work when your battery, or your voice, is dead. Backing this portal buys the raw linen cardstock, matte finishes, and CR80 blanks so I can fabricate the first production runs directly at my workbench.

    What Your Backing Actually Builds

    1. The Core Deck

    • Material: 310gsm Black-Core Linen Cardstock.
    • Matte Finish: Zero harsh glare under fluorescent lights (bypasses NC-14 Visual Noise).
    • Built for Stimming: Textured linen weave that holds up to high-stress handling.

    2. The Neuro-Pass

    • Format: Official CR80 ID card size.
    • 12-Icon Bar: Non-verbal accommodation icons along the bottom edge.
    • Emergency Reverse: Next-of-kin contact and verification notice on the back.

    3. The Sensory Tin

    • Material: Matte-finished industrial tinware.
    • Acoustic Safe: Engineered not to clatter loudly in your bag or pocket.
    • Everyday Carry: Protects your active Neuro-Codes and small fidgets.

    About AuDHMe

    Made from lived experience, shared with everyone.

    AuDHMe began with one person's need for clearer language and practical tools. It grows through the many ways neurodivergent people understand, adapt to, and move through the world.

    Jason Parish
    Jason Parish Autistic and ADHD, creating practical things for the community

    My part of the story

    Living at the AuDHD intersection

    I live with both autism and ADHD. Most days, the autistic need for routine, literal language and predictability collides with the ADHD need for novelty, movement and interest-led energy. Neither side is a flaw; they simply describe a brain navigating a world that was not always designed with it in mind.

    The masking, sensory overload, executive dysfunction and time blindness that often come with that experience are exhausting. AuDHMe grew from the wish for fewer explanations, clearer alternatives and tools that help me communicate before I run out of words.

    “I am not offering a finished definition of neurodivergence. I am sharing what I have learned so that others can recognise themselves, adapt what helps, and find language of their own.”

    The project started as something I needed personally. I continue it because no one should have to translate themselves into expensive jargon or apologise for needing access. Whether you are autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, dyslexic, dyspraxic, living with OCD, or carrying another kind of difference, you belong here without having to prove it.

    A shared direction

    Not a hierarchy. A useful starting point.

    01

    Listen before explaining

    People are experts in their own experience, even when their needs or words change.

    02

    Keep access practical

    Good support should reduce effort, clarify choices and make everyday life more possible.

    03

    Leave room for difference

    There is no single way to be neurodivergent, and no need to arrive fully understood.
