Is there a wiki for neurodivergence? (reddthat.com)

I have been doing a lot of research about ASD and ADHD, and I would like to contribute by sharing information with other people. So, I was wondering if there is a wiki for that purpose.

Don't use or contribute to fandom.

“So apparently there are thousands of people essentially running our company for free right now, creating tons of content, and we just put ads on top of it and they’re not even employees. Do you see how much of a disaster this is? Thousands of people we can’t lay off. Thousands!” - Fandom CEO (Satire that illustrates the problem)

If you're looking for an autism alternative wiki to this fandom one, there is http://actuallyautistic.wiki/wiki/Main_Page but it's also not about neurodivergency in general.

Your first link is from Hard Drive, which is quite obviously a parodic website, kinda like the Onion but for tech. That being said, Wikia/Fandom is a parasitic growth on the internet that leeches on the free work of countless enthusiasts, and alternative fan-run wikis should be used instead.

I know, it was supposed to be a fun article, it nevertheless illustrates the problem. I'll mark it.
