Connecting neurodiverse adults with their allies
Find the missing piece to your life.
A peer support platform where neurodiverse people and their allies meet up for practical, low-barrier support — from form-filling and admin to friendly check-ins, tutoring, and skill-sharing.
What is Tessolari?
Neurodiverse adults — autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, and others — often need practical help with the kinds of small tasks that don't qualify for professional support but pile up: paperwork, online admin, time management, gentle reminders, untangling appointments.
Tessolari connects people who need that help with people who can offer it, for a fair fee. It also lets neurodiverse members earn through their special interests — tutoring, skill-sharing, board games, hobbies — alongside more conventional service work.
How it works
Sign up
Complete a short wizard. Tell us whether you're looking for support, offering it, or both. Every step is optional and skippable; come back any time to fill in more.
Find a match
Browse profiles in Find people or services in Browse services. Click a pill on any profile to jump to people offering exactly what you're looking for.
Connect
Agree on terms directly. After you've worked together, leave a short High / Medium / Low rating so others know how it went and your match's Ally score reflects it.
For sensitive in-person work like chaperoning or check-ins, providers can submit a DBS (formerly CRB) certificate; a moderator verifies it and the file is deleted right after, keeping only the verification record. Read the full how it works →
