Founded in February 2024, The Mindscape Neurodiversity Institute is a result of both personal determination and a deep commitment to advocacy for the neurodivergent community.

The flagship website, TheNeurodivergentBrain.org, was built from the ground up and has since been advertised globally, attracting visitors from all over the world.

The site is completely free and accessible to anyone with internet access, providing valuable resources to help individuals with Autism and ADHD navigate their unique challenges.

Currently, I run the organization on my own. My name is Christina Avelar, and I am autistic with ADHD, diagnosed at age 46. After navigating a lifetime of challenges, I realized how crucial advocacy and support are for our community. Motivated by that need, I began building this organization from scratch. On September 6th, 2024, I officially achieved 501(c)(3) status.

As a mother of three children, two of whom have ADHD and one who is autistic, I understand firsthand the need for change. We deserve equal opportunities for success and a high quality of life. I am deeply committed to this mission because it’s personal for me and for so many others.

Everything you see here has been a labor of love and determination. I’ve put in the effort not just for myself, but for all of us—because we deserve a platform that supports our growth, amplifies our voices, and provides the resources we need to thrive.

Our mission is to provide vital resources, conduct groundbreaking research, and advocate for the neurodivergent community, helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.

I believe that with the right knowledge, every individual can better understand themselves and communicate their needs effectively to others.

At the core of our organization is a dedication to advancing understanding and acceptance of neurodivergent individuals.

I hope to foster a society that not only recognizes the unique strengths of neurodiverse minds but actively supports and celebrates them.

To continue offering these critical resources and to further our research and advocacy efforts, I rely on the generosity of those who share our vision of an inclusive world.

Your support is essential in helping us maintain free access to these resources and ensuring that every neurodivergent individual has the tools they need to thrive. If you believe in our mission, we invite you to contribute and join us in making a meaningful impact.

Together, we can create a world that values neurodiversity.
