Guest: Kiran Rodriguez joins Paul to share the personal story and mission behind NeuroMatch—a new platform that creates safer, Neurodiversity-Affirming spaces for dating, friendship, and community. We delve into feature choices such as chat prompts, voice notes, dyslexia-friendly colour settings, and verification; why starting local in Hampshire is important; and how the team is addressing safety, moderation, and crisis signposting.
Notable quotes
- “ADHD is very hard to live with… It’s shaped me because I’ve learned how to be strong and resilient.”
- “Prompts are there to help when you can’t think of what to say first.”
- “I’m dyslexic—I want people to choose the colour that helps them read.”
- “Friendship comes first… some people just want someone to talk to when they’re lonely.”
- “You’re never alone… there’s always somebody you can connect with.”
