Abstract This project developed an accessible and interactive chatbot to aid in identifying autism, ADHD, OCD and GAD. Numerous barriers (e.g., high cost, long waitlists, systemic discrimination, and clinician bias) currently prevent many individuals from receiving a formal diagnosis. This tool provides an accessible alternative to existing publicly available resources that people commonly use to self-reflect and gain insight into their experiences.
