We're putting the finishing touches on the site - thanks for bearing with us while we polish things up.
Who we are

Built by people who
were fine not fine.

Two neurodivergent founders. Late diagnoses. Years of workplaces and classrooms that weren't designed for them. Eventually, enough was enough.

The honest version

Why we built this.
(The unvarnished edition.)

Neither of us were diagnosed as children. Which means we both spent a significant chunk of our school years being told we were bright but distracted, capable but inconsistent, full of potential but somehow not quite living up to it.

School was complicated. Work was more complicated. We both spent years navigating environments that weren't built for the way our brains work - masking, adapting, burning out, and quietly wondering if everyone else found it this hard or if it was just us.

(It wasn't just us. It's one in five people. We checked.)

We built All Minds Matter because we got tired of waiting for someone else to fix it. Not because we had a gap in the market identified on a spreadsheet. Because we lived it, we're still living it, and we know exactly how much unnecessary suffering comes from organisations that mean well and do nothing useful.

This is the tool we wish had existed.

“
We built this because we lived it. Both of us. For years. And we were frankly exhausted by how avoidable most of it was.

Rach spent over 15 years in data analysis, governance, and software design before pointing all of it at a problem she'd been living with her entire life. She was diagnosed AuDHD in her mid-thirties - turns out the “she's bright but needs to apply herself more” comments weren't a personality flaw. She's also the parent of an AuDHD daughter, so neuroinclusion isn't just a professional interest, it's Tuesday.

She built this platform. Largely at midnight, powered by hyperfocus and a conviction that if neuroinclusion tools are going to exist, they should actually work. She is also a disability and ND advocate, a content creator, and - for her sins - a published author.

AutisticPublished AuthorND AdvocateResearcher

Oli was diagnosed autistic in his twenties. It explained why he'd spent years in environments that felt like they were designed for a version of him that didn't quite exist - too much noise, too many unwritten rules, too much performance of normalcy that nobody had actually defined. Since then, he's focused on what genuinely supports neurodivergent people - not in theory, but in the messy reality of workplaces and systems that weren't built with them in mind.

He brings research, lived experience, and a very precise way of saying difficult things clearly. His work is rooted in the belief that neuroinclusion isn't a specialist topic - it's essential knowledge for any organisation that wants to value the full range of human minds. He is also, it turns out, quite good at writing books.

An AuDHD female protagonist navigates the end of everything. Warm, funny, and considerably more chaotic than the title suggests.

And one more member of the team

Turbo, Chief of Neurodivergent Affairs (unofficial)

Turbo is our cat, and the face of Ask Turbo, the AI assistant inside our tools. Turbo is a gentle reminder of the things we care about: quieter spaces, fewer pointless meetings, and less judgement when a task feels impossible to start.

The answers come from AI guided by recognised standards, including the Equality Act 2010, PAS 6463:2022 and WCAG 2.2, and they are general guidance rather than legal advice. The cat just makes it a little less daunting to ask.

What we actually believe

The principles behind
everything we build.

Every brain belongs
Neurodivergence is not a deficit to be managed. It is a dimension of human diversity that organisations have a responsibility - and an opportunity - to design for.
Evidence over intention
Good intentions do not create inclusive environments. Measurement, accountability, and structured improvement do. We give organisations the tools to do the work properly.
Systemic change, not surface fixes
Real neuroinclusion requires change at the level of culture, process, environment, and leadership. Not a one-off training session. Not a revised policy document.
Lived experience at the centre
The people most affected by neuroinclusion failures are the most important voices in designing the solutions. We are neurodivergent people building for neurodivergent people.
Shared responsibility
Neuroinclusion isn't the job of HR alone. It requires commitment from every layer of an organisation - from leadership to frontline teams.
Progress over perfection
We don't expect organisations to be perfect. We expect them to be honest about where they are, and committed to getting better. That's what we built this for.
“We don't want a seat at the table. We want the table redesigned so everyone can actually use it.”

Right. Let's actually do something about this.
