What am I missing? I see a 3 page pdf describing a possible self-assessment but that's it. The project contains nothing else. Where do you get 90 minutes of hyperfixation from? Or do you just read slowly? :D

I think the 90 minutes is how long OP took to create the project and write up the document.
That would make a lot of sense. I didn't make the connection that this is something they made. I thought this was 90 minutes of hyperfixation "for me"
Where do you get 90 minutes of hyperfixation from?
Drugs lol
There's not much here beyond what you want to accomplish. Writing what you want is the easy process, actually writing it is where motivation goes to die. :P
In terms of the content itself, where are you going to source information from? How are you going to ensure the information is accurate and usefull? How are you going to cover the idea that no two neurodivergent people are alike? Who are you going to talk to?
One thing that did jump out at me though is the following:
Terms like “neurodivergent” are intentionally avoided unless selected by the user.
I'd be interested to hear your reasoning behind this. Claiming "neurodivergent" is pathologising language is a common dogwhistle used by those who don't value our right to self identify or organise.
US here. I see any official diagnosis as a potential for deacrimination or worse in our current political climate.
