r/audhd

Hi there!

r/audhd is undergoing a bit of construction!

We are looking to revamp the way we do things, overhaul our rules, be a bit more organised and have a few more moderators to do so.

While we do that, the subreddit may be slow, and post approval may take a while. Sorry about that!

I'm looking for moderators - people who are active Redditors, interested in research (that means looking through articles, videos, questionnaires etc. before we approve them, etc.) as well as organising any resources we find.

Are you that kind of person? I'm trying out the built-in Reddit mod application for the first time, feel free to reach out and apply! (If the link shouldn't work, just reaching out through modmail is fine, too.)

For everyone else, I'd be glad to hear suggestions or feedback in the comments.

Thanks for your patience!

~Amy

Update: I've meanwhile been able to put together a mod team that I'm confident will work well and applications are now closed.

Hey everyone!

I hope this is the right place for this. I really want to build a tool that will actually be helpful to people, and my post keeps getting removed by mods.

I should start by saying that I’m not a fan of AI in the whole “replacing the workforce” sense. It should be used to enhance the workforce so that people can be at their most productive.

That being said, I’m a professional with RAGING adhd and many signs of autism. I work in the tech industry - somewhat adjacent to AI development.

There’s an opportunity here to build an extremely functional tool for those of us with executive dysfunction.

In an absolutely ideal world, what would be the most helpful for you in a tool like this?

Edit: I think I may not have been very clear in what my hopes were here. Let me clarify a little bit!

I don’t want to make a tool that tracks your every moment and movement. I want to develop something that helps you coordinate your life without being intrusive.

Everything would be customizable - such as how much the AI can access or retain. How it learns about you. What it offers as help.

I’m trying to propose AI as it *should* be: a tool to actually help keep objectives and interests in order if that’s what someone wants.

My goal in this is not to force something on people who don’t want it. If it’s not your thing, that’s okay!!! I’m jealous that you’re able to keep your life straight without tools!!

I personally know that an AI assistant would likely help keep my life straight. A perfect example: my son’s school sends out 9000 newsletters a week (obviously hyperbole). I don’t open them because 95% of the time it has nothing to do with my son.

But what if I could let an AI know that my son is in a certain grade, has certain interests, is part of certain clubs, etc. - and the AI could scan the emails and see if anything in them was relevant to him. And it could learn and adjust!

So yeah, that’s more what I’m going for. I know it’s not for everyone!!! I’m not trying to sell it to people who don’t want it. I’m genuinely trying to get a read on ways it may be useful to people.

Maybe it truly won’t be, and I’m barking up the wrong tree.

But I know that having a tool to help coordinate my life would be invaluable.

Update #2:

I want to thank everyone who gave feedback, positive and negative. Again, this was an idea in its infancy and I was thinking of ways to make it useful to more people than just me.

I absolutely get the hatred for AI. I was considering ways it might actually be helpful rather than… slop. Compiling rather than creating, as it were.

Thank you guys for taking the time to respond. It actually means a lot to me that you’d take a moment to express an opinion on my idea!

I am having difficulty finding books, podcasts, groups or programs for binge eating disorder specially for Audhd'ers. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hello,

I am frustrated with trying to get accommodations while neurodivergent and hearing stories of people who wouldn't disclose due to retaliation. So, I am doing my dissertation to better understand accommodations, with the goal of helping organizations be more welcoming of individuals with neurodivergence. If you do have accommodations at work, I would love to hear from you in this anonymous survey ->
