Keep open nine free tools that actually help

Autism screening, checking a psychologist's credentials, medicine shortage alerts, that first message to a specialist. Behind every page there's someone looking for an answer — and over 250,000 people find one here every month. Keep the lights on with one coffee.

Andrei Hodorog, Ph.D., founder of About ADHD România

I'm autistic and I have ADHD. Every one of these tools was born from a need I've lived through myself: searching for an answer at 3am and finding it nowhere. I keep them open, free, so the next person searching won't have to be alone.

Why now

The costs have outgrown what I can carry alone

Everything stays free. Behind the scenes, though, every tool comes with real bills.

📈
Growing traffic, growing costs

Secure hosting, encrypted backups, CDN, certificates and domains.

🤖
AI, transcripts and webinars

Genie answers 24/7. Every answer and every participant has a real cost.

⚖️
GDPR and legal advice

Directories, tests and message flows touch sensitive data. Audits aren't optional.

🕒
Hundreds of hours of development

A single referenced article takes over 10 hours of work. All of it, pro bono.

I've chosen not to lock anything behind a paywall, not to collect data for commercial purposes and not to show ads. The only funding these tools have is your donations.

30%

The About ADHD România community is 16,000+ members strong. If just 30% of active members donated 30 RON today, the project would be funded for a whole year. I'm not asking for heroics. I'm asking for a coffee.

Every bill listed here is covered by donations alone. Today could be your turn.

A free directory of psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists in Romania who work with ADHD and autism. Verified profiles, prices shown transparently and real reviews from patients. Available in Romanian and English.

I didn't start these projects to change the world. I started them for one person: the one sitting up at night, phone in hand, tired of searching, with just enough left in them for one more question. Maybe that person was once you. Your donation doesn't pay for a service. It keeps a door open for the next person who knocks.

With gratitude, Andrei
