When neurodivergent people thrive, our entire community thrives. Kind Theory transforms this belief into action, through education that creates a paradigm shift, social opportunities that foster belonging, art programs that sparks dialogue, employment support that opens doors, services and resources that empower families.
Your North Texas Giving Day gift helps us break down barriers and build a culture of acceptance and belonging.
Neurodiversity is natural. More than that: it's beautiful!
Here at Kind Theory, our goal is to build a kinder world for neurodivergent people: one where systems, communities, and individuals promote their strengths, support them through their struggles, and welcome their differences.
Why We're Here
It’s no secret: autistic people and ADHDers are too often underserved in school, employment, and social services. Even their most caring supporters often find themselves confused and disheartened by long-accepted information about autism and ADHD that just doesn’t seem to “fit” them and likewise, they often feel like they don’t “fit” the world they live in.
Why does this happen?
Here’s a major factor: too many of the resources we as a society rely on to understand autism and ADHD were developed without autistic/ADHD input. As a result, these resources locate the problem of “not fitting” in the person and not the environment and try to change neurodivergent people into something else instead of helping them thrive exactly as they are.
We’re here to change that.
Who We Are
From the beginning, we’ve been a diverse group of parents, professionals, community members, and friends by the knowledge that neurodivergent people deserve better. Whether through our own lived experiences with autism and ADHD or through witnessing the struggles of our children, students, and clients, each member of our team knows all too well about how deficit-focused resources lead to the stigmatization and exclusion of these important members of our communities. We knew it was time for a paradigm shift and our communities needed services, opportunities and resources about autism and ADHD that could foster connection, inclusion, and empowerment for all neurotypes, so we set out to create them.
Today, we’re a volunteer-run non-profit clearing the way for kindness. Guided by the insight of autistic people and ADHDers themselves, we provide friendly, accessible training and resources about autism, ADHD, neurodiversity and also provide services and social opportunities to neurodivergent people. Through education and neurodiversity informed services, we know we can make our community a kinder, more welcoming place for all.
To inspire and enable empowering social programs, accessible education, and inclusive local communities that embrace autism, ADHD, and neurodiversity by following the lead of neurodivergent people themselves.

Kind Theory Equity Statement
At Kind Theory, we believe equity means more than equal access. It means creating spaces where neurodivergent people are fully valued, respected, and empowered to lead. We affirm that every brain is unique, and that differences in thinking, learning, and communication are essential to the richness of our communities.
We commit to:
Centering Neurodivergent Voices – ensuring autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent individuals guide our programs, policies, and practices.
Challenging Barriers – addressing systemic inequities in education, employment, healthcare, and civic life that disproportionately affect neurodivergent people and their families.
Building Belonging – cultivating environments where authenticity is celebrated, accommodations are seen as rights (not favors), and diversity of thought is embraced as a collective strength.
Practicing Intersectionality – recognizing that race, gender, culture, disability, language, and socioeconomic factors all intersect with neurodivergence, and practicing true inclusion.
Leading with Compassion and Accountability – modeling equity in our own practices, and holding ourselves responsible for continuous growth, learning, and advocacy.
Our vision of equity is rooted in kindness, dignity, and belonging. We believe that when neurodivergent people thrive, our entire community becomes more creative, inclusive, and just.
