MORE THAN 8 MILLION AMERICAN ADULTS HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER – BETTER KNOWN AS A-D-H-D.

THAT OFTEN LEADS TO DIFFICULTIES WITH FOCUSING, ORGANIZING AND IMPULSE CONTROL – ALL OF WHICH MAKE ADULTING EVEN HARDER THAN IT ALREADY IS.

 BUT – NEW TECHNOLOGY COULD BE THE KEY TO FINDING BALANCE.

MANY ADULTS LIVING WITH A-D-H-D ARE TURNING TO GENERATIVE A-I TO HELP THEM COMPLETE TASKS… LIKE LOOKING OVER CONTRACTS OR CREATING A BUSINESS PLAN.

GENERATIVE A-I TOOLS CAN HELP THOSE WITH A-D-H-D BREAK BIG TASKS DOWN INTO SMALLER, MORE DIGESTIBLE STEPS

CHATBOTS CAN OFFER SPECIFIC ADVICE – LIKE HELPING YOU MAKE A GROCERY LIST OR COME UP WITH A RECIPE.

SOME A-I APPS CAN ALSO HELP WITH REMINDERS AND PRODUCTIVITY.

HOWEVER, EXPERTS ARE CAUTIONING A-I SHOULD *NOT* BE USED TO REPLACE TRADITIONAL TREATMENT FOR A-D-H-D.

DOCTORS SAY A-I SHOULD BE USED MORE LIKE A HELPFUL TOOL IN A TOOLBOX – BUT THOSE WITH A-D-H-D SHOULD STILL TURN TO TRADITIONAL TREATMENT METHODS LIKE MEDICATION AND LEARNING ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS.

SOME EXPERTS HAVE ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT POTENTIAL OVER-RELIANCE AND INVASION OF PRIVACY – ESPECIALLY IF YOU GIVE AN A-I TOOL ACCESS TO YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT OR CALENDAR FOR THE SAKE OF MAKING YOUR LIFE A LITTLE EASIER.
