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.

Did you do a websearch for "neurodiversity wiki"? This is literally the 4th result for me on DuckDuckGo

https://www.neurodiversity.wiki/

Telling people to just google it really discourages a lot of community.

I did not do that, if you read my comment correctly. I simply asked if they did try that, and then provided an actual answer.

like a professionally reviewed wiki, or one written by non professionals?

I am not a professional, so I am looking for a wiki where non professionals can contribute. My goal is mostly to make for digestible/accessible the resources already available by professionals.

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.

Almost all wikis aren't peer reviewed and they aren't designed for it. It would also be a hard thing to pull off unless you have a very specific topic where a group of users can manage a relatively small number of articles.

How about Wikipedia.org?
