The Spoons Diagnosis Fund
I believe a diagnosis shouldn’t be a luxury.
Spoons exists to fund access.
When Spoons is profitable, 40% of net profits are dedicated to the Spoons Diagnosis Fund.
(Net profits are calculated after app store fees, operating costs, and taxes.)
Spoons helps fund autism assessments for adults who can’t afford them.
The Mission
For millions of adults, an autism diagnosis is the key to understanding themselves — but with costs often ranging from $2,000 to $5,000, it’s out of reach for most people.
We’re changing that.
We’re building a direct funding pipeline so autistic adults can access professional assessments, regardless of financial status.
How it Works
1) Partner-vetted (no random drawings)
We do not use random selection.
We plan to work with established autism advocacy organizations to identify candidates with demonstrated financial need (based on partner screening criteria).
No purchase is required to apply (when applications open).
2) Direct payment to clinics
Funding is paid directly to licensed psychologists and diagnostic clinics for the assessment (not to individuals).
This keeps the process clean, professional, and focused on the actual diagnosis.
3) Global vision (long-term)
Our goal is to fund 205,000+ diagnoses by 2040, focusing on regions where the impact is greatest.
This is an impact target — actual funding depends on available resources and legal readiness.
Status
Current Status: FUND BUILDING PHASE
We are currently building the legal, financial, and operational foundation required to launch the first funding round responsibly.
Target Launch: January 2027
Note: Eligibility, availability, and timelines depend on legal review, partner capacity, and available funds.
Privacy & Independence
Zero app data sharing
Your Spoons app data stays on your device.
Applying for the fund is a separate web process that happens here — not inside the app.
No accounts required
Just like in the app, there will be no accounts required to apply (when applications open).
The fund is supported by subscribers, but accessible to everyone.
Fund application privacy
Fund applications will require some personal information to verify need.
That information is handled separately from the app and will be covered by the fund’s privacy policy.
