Neurodivergent Social App: Synchrony w/ Founders | Jan 2026
<p>ND social isolation? Synchrony co-founders Jamie Pastrano (mom/CSW), Brittany Moser (M.A. autism specialist), and Rebecca Matchett (COO/entrepreneur) spill on their Jan 2026 launch: First AI-supported app for neurodivergent adults 18+—interest-matching, safety (ID/reference verification), and 'Jesse' AI coach for chats/boundaries (express feelings, decode flirty/friendly, protect comfort). From Jamie's son Jesse inspiring the vision to global goals (US-based, accommodations for nonverbal/spectrum), it's independence + community—no more cliffs, just synced belonging. For autistic/ADHD/AuDHD young adults grinding friendships/romance, parents supporting without overstepping, or OTs fostering skills, this ramble's your toolkit—AI as confidence builder, not replacement.</p><p>Timestamps:</p><p> 0:00 - Intro: Synchrony Founders & ND Social Gaps</p><p> 1:07 - Origin: Jamie's Son Jesse & Adulting Void</p><p> 3:26 - App Features: Interest-Matching & Safety</p><p> 5:59 - Jesse AI: Express/Understand/Protect Buttons</p><p> 9:19 - Profile Building: Bio Gen & Independence</p><p> 11:25 - Global Vision & Accommodations (Non-Verbal)</p><p> 14:02 - Parent Role: Plant Seeds, Not Control</p><p> 16:38 - Launch Jan 2026: Waitlist & Events</p><p> 18:47 - Future: Offline Events/Employment Ties</p><p> 20:35 - Why Now: Filling the 18+ Gap</p><p> 22:12 - Where to Join: Socials/Waitlist</p><p> 24:48 - Outro: Sync Up & Squad Perks</p><p>Sub on Acast for Season 3 Jan drops (rate/review to grow the squad!), share w/ a connection-seeker—tag 'em!

Synchrony co-founders Jamie Pastrano, Brittany Moser, and Rebecca Matchett unpack their Jan 2026 app for neurodivergent adults 18+: AI 'Jesse' coach for social support (expressive language, convo decoding, boundary-setting), interest-based matching (top 10 hobbies first, % common shown), safety (ID/selfie + reference vouch from trusted like mom/therapist), and profile ease (AI bio gen from questions). Origin: Jamie's 21-year-old autistic son Jesse's adult social gaps (no mom/teacher forever)—global vision (US launch, accommodations for nonverbal/spectrum, voice-to-text). For late-dx young adults practicing independence, parents encouraging (plant seeds, not sign up), or OTs for skill-building (in-app chats transfer to real life), Synchrony's 'syncmates' flips loneliness to belonging—no mainstream app fails, just ND-tailored human connection.</p><p>Links:</p><ul><li>Full Episode: Acast (sub now!)</li><li>Synchrony Waitlist: joinsynchrony.com</li><li>Socials: @synchronyapp (IG/FB/TikTok—follow for launch)</li><li>Merch: Linktree in notes (BLACK25 for 30% off holiday!)</li></ul><p>Your subs/ratings/shares amplify the squad—tag a sync-seeker! #AutisticSocialSkills #NeurodivergentAI #SynchronyLaunch #PodcastND #MentalHealthApp #UnmaskedConnections #ADHDIndependence #AutismAdulting #ResilienceApp #Em
