The present work describes the design process of a mobile application for users that have a neurodevelopmental disorder diagnosis. The proposal was called Nidappi which stands for Neurodivergent Interaction Diary Application Island. The main purpose of this proposal is to provide a safe space for neurodivergent users to connect with each other and hand them helpful technological tools for embracing their diagnosis. For this proposal it was followed a User-Centered Design (UCD) methodology, therefore the final users were involved in the steps taken for the proposal development. Neurodivergent participants were involved in the research process through a survey and a pilot user evaluation conducted after the design of the interactive prototype. Through the analysis of the obtained results and feedback from the participants, it was concluded that this tool would represent a significant asset for the autonomy of the neurodivergent community.
