We Build Systems Where Every Brain Can Thrive.

Empowering neurodivergent brilliance by shaping a world where every brain bounces differently, and that’s the point.

What We Do

One Mission, Two Paths

For Organizations: Neurodiversity-Inclusive Hiring & Systems Redesign

We help companies audit, redesign, and implement hiring processes that recognize neurodivergent talent—without sacrificing performance, quality, or values.

For Neurodivergent Individuals: Tools for Surviving Systems Not Built For You

Quiet resources, sensory-friendly tools, community offerings, and reflections created by and for neurodivergent people navigating work, shutdowns, burnout, and more.

Why We Work in Two Directions

The Bouncy Brain serves both neurodivergent individuals and the systems that impact them.

Because real inclusion means shifting both inner and outer worlds.

We create tools for regulation, pacing, and self-trust and help workplaces remove the structural barriers that block access to belonging.

Our Mission

What Guides Our Work

Support built around how our brains work—not despite it.

Systems Over Assimilation

We do not ask people to mask, adapt, or hustle. We change the system so they don’t have to.

Lived Experience, Backed By Data

Founded by an autistic and ADHD epidemiologist and researcher, The Bouncy Brain blends research and reality to drive structural change.

Slow, Sustainable, Accessible

Whether you are an individual seeking tools or a company seeking change, we move at a pace that works.

Meet the Creator of The Bouncy Brain

Tehnyat J. Sohail (she/her) is an autistic and ADHD Pakistani-American epidemiologist, researcher, and social work graduate student with over seven years of experience in public health and violence prevention.

She founded The Bouncy Brain to bridge systems-level thinking with lived experience and to build neurodivergent-friendly futures.

Tehnyat is committed to a life rooted in softness, slowness, and sensory kindness. Her work centers on helping neurodivergent individuals move through the world at their own pace, without pressure to mask or adapt. She believes in representation, rest as resistance, and systems that do not demand we become someone else to survive.

Through The Bouncy Brain, she works to create space for others to thrive in a world that was not built for bouncy brains—but can be reshaped with care.

Why I Started
The Bouncy Brain

The Bouncy Brain began with my own journey of discovering I am autistic and ADHD—a turning point that reshaped everything.

Despite a career in public health, epidemiology, and social work, I faced systemic barriers that kept highly qualified neurodivergent people out of workplaces.

I built The Bouncy Brain to change that, blending lived experience with research to help create workplaces and communities where every brain is understood, valued, and able to thrive.

“We reject hustle culture, high-demand systems, and inaccessible expectations. We believe rest is radical, pacing is powerful, and all brains deserve belonging.”
