Becca

Intended use

Regulatory and medical disclaimer

Last updated 31 August 2026

Becca is a psychoeducational self-screen for adults aged 30 years and over. It is meant to help you organise what you notice about yourself and decide whether to seek a qualified clinical assessment for autism, ADHD, or co-occurring autism and ADHD (AuDHD). It is not a diagnosis, not a care plan, and not a substitute for a clinician.

Who and what it is for

Intended users are adults 30 and over who want a structured, domain-mapped self-screen before they talk to a qualified professional. That is the whole intended use.

Becca is not intended for:

  • Emergency, crisis, or suicide-prevention care.
  • Children, adolescents, or anyone under 30. Items and cut-offs are calibrated for adults thirty and over, not for paediatric assessment.
  • Occupational decisions: hiring, firing, promotion, fitness for duty, security clearance, or workplace accommodation as a sole basis.
  • Forensic or legal decisions: court, custody, criminal responsibility, immigration, insurance eligibility, or benefits determination.
  • Educational placement, special-education eligibility, or any official disability determination.

Not a medical device

Becca is not a medical device and is not software as a medical device (SaMD). We do not place it on the market for diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, prediction, prognosis, treatment, or alleviation of disease.

United States (FDA). Becca is not cleared under section 510(k), not granted De Novo classification, not approved under premarket approval (PMA), and not registered or listed with the FDA as a device.

European Union. Becca is not CE-marked. It is not a medical device under Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) and is not an in vitro diagnostic under the IVDR.

United Kingdom. Becca is not a UKCA-marked medical device and is not placed on the market as a medical device with the MHRA.

We do not claim compliance with IEC 62304 (medical-device software lifecycle) or ISO 13485 (medical-device quality management). No notified body, conformity-assessment procedure, or device QMS is asserted.

No general-wellness overclaim

We do not treat, mitigate, or prevent disease. We do not claim that using Becca maintains, encourages, or restores a general state of health in the sense of FDA “general wellness” product guidance, and we do not use that guidance as a cover for a diagnostic or therapeutic claim. A score does not mean you have — or do not have — a neurodevelopmental condition. Using this protocol does not replace medical advice.

Not a diagnosis

Nothing here is a diagnosis under DSM-5-TR or ICD-11. Bands (for example elevated, indicated, or a masked-presentation flag) are screening hypotheses from self-report. They are not probabilities of a disorder, not severity grades, and not clinical impressions. Only a qualified clinician can diagnose. Do not treat Indicated as a diagnosis. Do not send this file to an employer, insurer, school, or court.

Original items

The items are original. They are mapped to diagnostic domains — social communication, restricted and repetitive patterns, inattention, hyperactivity-impulsivity, childhood history, camouflaging, impairment, and AuDHD interaction — so a report can be read next to those manuals. They do not reproduce copyrighted instruments (including AQ, RAADS-R, ASRS, CAT-Q, ADOS-2, ADI-R, DIVA-5, or MIGDAS-2). Read the methods and limits for scoring structure and citations.

Not research

This is not a clinical investigation. It is not IRB-approved or ethics-committee-approved research, and completing the protocol does not enrol you in a study. The sample report is synthetic: a composite late-identified adult profile, not a real person’s answers.

What a clinician still needs

A complete adult assessment still requires work this protocol cannot do. A clinician still needs, among other things:

  • Informant developmental history, not only self-report.
  • Direct observation. For autism, that often means a structured tool such as ADOS-2 (module 4 in verbally fluent adults). MIGDAS-2 is a sensory-based qualitative interview used with fluent adults; it is a real clinic tool, not listed in NICE CG142.
  • A structured ADHD interview (for example DIVA-5 — childhood, adulthood, and informant) and evidence in more than one setting. NG87 does not make DIVA-5 mandatory.
  • Differential diagnosis: anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, personality disorder, sleep disorder, thyroid disease, medication effects, substance use, a current mood episode, acquired brain injury, and later-life cognitive change.

Bring the report if it helps you describe your experience. Do not treat it as a finding.

If you are in crisis

Becca is not an emergency service and is not a safety plan. If you are thinking about suicide or self-harm, or you are in danger, leave the protocol and get help.

Local emergency first: US/Canada 911 · EU 112 · UK/Ireland 999 or 112 · Australia 000 · New Zealand 111 · Brazil 190/192.

Then a verified line:

Numbers change. If a number fails, use the official page or emergency services.

Health data

We do not sell health data. Answers are processed on this device to generate your report. We do not sell, share for advertising, or trade consumer health information under California law (including the CCPA/CPRA and related consumer health privacy rules) or similar consumer health laws in other jurisdictions.
