AI and ADHD: A New World of Productivity for Neurodivergent Thinkers

Plus, Chat GPT Talks, and Apparently Breathes, Like a Human.

Hi friends

In a world that often feels designed for neurotypical minds, those of us with ADHD, dyslexia, or other neurodivergent traits can sometimes struggle to capture our teeming, darting thoughts.

But what if I told you there's a game-changing tech that could help bridge the gap between our brilliantly chaotic thought processes and the structured demands of work and daily life?

Enter Artificial Intelligence (AI) - not as a “fix” for neurodiversity, but as a powerful ally that can harness the power of unconventional yet fertile minds.

Imagine having a tireless assistant that:

  • Helps organize your swirling thoughts into coherent structures

  • Adapts to your non-linear thinking patterns

  • Provides instant, judgment-free brainstorming sessions

  • Breaks down complex tasks into manageable steps

For neurodivergent thinkers, AI tools can unlock our full potential, allowing us to catch and reel in our ideas as rapidly as they swirl through our minds.

Check out my journey of discovery, in the free e-book below.

OK, this is pretty spooky. Not only is ChatGPT talking like a human, but it even stops to take a breath when needed :)

AI SKILLS SHIFTS

It took me a while to understand why I was so excited - some would say disproportionately so 🙂 - about Generative AI. It all became clearer with the realization that I’d found the perfect partner for my unique thinking style.

WEBHOOKS:

In previous newsletters, we’ve shared information about no-code integration platforms such as Zapier, Make, and IFTTT (If This Then That). These platforms enable you to connect apps to other apps, and one action to another, to automate your workflows.

Definition:

A webhook is a little different. It is a way for an app to provide other applications with real-time information. It sends data to a specific URL when a particular event happens, allowing different systems to communicate and trigger actions automatically.

Everyday Analogy

Think of it like a pizza delivery notification. You place an order (the event), and instead of checking the status constantly, you receive a text message when the pizza is on its way (the webhook). This message alerts you instantly, saving you the trouble of checking repeatedly 🍕

JUST ASK YOUR AI.

My approach to using general AI assistants, outlined in this week’s ebook, is more about having conversations than formal prompting.

Prompting is about TELLING AI what you want; a necessary skill for working with AI overall.

I prefer ASKING AI to help work through this process with me.

Through conversation, iteration, and interrogation we arrive at a framework, and then I will apply more traditional prompting techniques to get the exact outcomes required.
