Full disclosure, I'm not officially diagnosed yet, but hopefully will be within a few weeks.
I stream and, as you'd expect, most of the other streamers I follow and get along with are either openly neurodivergent or I notice the signs. The tags I've seen include Autism, ADHD, AuDHD, Neurodivergent, and task related keywords like Body Doubling. I would also say that the game matters. If you are looking for games you're already into, chances are they probably appeal to other neurodivergent folk as well. But if you're more interested in fun people and good communities regardless of game, the factory games like Factorio and Satisfactory are an obvious gold mine.
I'd rather not post my channel as I'm not trying to advertise and I keep it separate from my other online accounts, but I think the above should dig up plenty. If not, I might be able to give suggestions if I knew more about what you're looking for. It depends on how familiar I am with it. I don't really follow a lot of popular games or streamers.
