“Everybody is a genius. But if a fish is judged by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” — Albert Einstein
Why Choose the My Genius Profiler?
Not all neurodiversity tools are created equal. My Genius is designed by a team of professionals, informed by lived experience, and grounded in research to provide actionable, strengths-based insights for children, adults, parents, and support workers.
The My Genius App bridges the gap between understanding and action. Designed for parents, support workers, and professionals, it transforms complex neurodiversity traits into clear, practical insights that can be applied in everyday life.
“Supporting neurodivergent individuals requires understanding their strengths and unique cognitive profiles, not just their deficits.” — Bauminger-Zvieli & Kuglmass, 2021, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders
The My Genius App is grounded in evidence-informed research, combining psychological principles with real-world application:
Research Based Design
ASD & ADHD impact multiple skills: Executive function, working memory, attention, emotional regulation, and social cognition can vary widely among individuals.
“Autistic individuals show diverse profiles across cognitive, social, and executive functioning domains, emphasizing the need for personalized supports.”
— Jones et al., 2020, Frontiers in Psychology
Individuality matters: Neurodivergent individuals thrive when supports respect their unique processing styles.
“Recognizing individual differences in neurodivergent populations leads to improved outcomes and quality of life.”
— Pellicano et al., 2014, Autism
Practical outcomes: Clear, actionable guidance improves engagement, advocacy, and quality of life for families and support systems.
Strengths-based approach: Understanding an individual’s strengths enables targeted interventions and improved daily functioning.
“Focusing on strengths rather than deficits is associated with increased adaptive functioning, self-efficacy, and well-being.”
— Dettmer et al., 2000, Exceptional Children
