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."
