What is neurodiversity-aware-design?

Design guidance for digital products that accommodate different ways of thinking and processing information, including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurological differences. It treats recommendations as context-dependent rather than universal rules.

Use it to review or design interfaces that are easier to follow, read, focus on, and control for a wider range of users.

It helps reduce unnecessary cognitive load, confusing layouts, and overwhelming sensory experiences. It also avoids assuming that all neurodivergent users have the same needs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00054	$0.01780
Opus 5	$0.00027	$0.00890
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.00356
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00178

Security

Grade B, and why

neurodiversity-aware-design scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

Neurodiversity-Aware Design

Purpose

This skill helps create digital experiences that accommodate diverse cognitive processing styles, including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurological differences. Based on Microsoft Inclusive Design for Cognition and COGA (Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility) guidelines.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

Making ADHD-friendly interfaces
Creating autism-friendly experiences
Reducing sensory overload
Designing for dyslexia
Improving cognitive accessibility
Accommodating diverse attention patterns

Principles

This skill is grounded in the Humanity4AI core principles and the following skill-specific principles:

Neurodiversity is not a deficit. Design guidance must treat neurodivergent users as capable individuals with different processing styles, not as impaired users.
Context determines accessibility. Neurodivergent profiles vary widely between individuals. Recommendations must be framed as considerations, not absolute requirements.
Explicit uncertainty over false certainty. Acknowledge when a recommendation may not apply to all users with a given neurodivergent profile.
Inclusive design benefits everyone. Improvements for neurodivergent users (predictable layouts, reduced sensory overload, clear language) improve usability for all users.
Safety boundaries apply. Do not make medical or clinical claims about neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD or autism.

Understanding Neurodiversity

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)

Difficulty focusing on boring tasks
Hyperfocus on interesting tasks
Impulsivity
Time blindness
Working memory challenges

Design Implications:

Reduce distractions
Break tasks into small steps
Provide reminders and deadlines
Allow focus mode
Avoid timed tasks

Autism Spectrum

Sensory sensitivity
Need for predictability
Literal interpretation
Difficulty with social cues
Special interests

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

neurodiversity-aware-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository humanity4ai/project_human (4 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,780 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (strips warnings and disclaimers). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
