Is the screening a diagnosis?
No. The screening shows areas that may deserve a closer look. Only a qualified professional can make a diagnosis after a full assessment.
Is the screening free?
Yes, the online screening is free.
Who can take the screening?
Anyone aged 12 or over can screen themselves, including students and adults at work. Parents, guardians, teachers and health or support professionals can complete a screening about someone they know well, including children from age 5.
At the start, you choose the group you are in, so the questions fit your situation. For example, adults at work get questions about focus, instructions and deadlines at work.
Are my answers private?
Your answers stay on your device. Nothing is sent to Charis unless you choose to contact Charis or ask a question after the screening. Then your answers and results are sent with your details only if you tick the box that says so, so the team can understand your question and reply.
To understand how the service is used, the website and screening keep anonymous daily totals, such as how many screenings were started and which areas were chosen. These totals contain no names, answers, cookies or device identifiers. To count returning visits, your browser keeps a simple “visited before” mark; the mark itself is never sent to Charis.
Why do I get different questions each time?
We use a bank of questions and choose a balanced set for each person, so every area is covered fairly.
What should I do with my results?
Download your report and share it with a professional, or ask a Charis specialist to contact you.
Can a neurodivergent person succeed?
Yes. With understanding and the right support, neurodivergent people do well in school, work, family and community life.
