AI as Executive Function Prosthetic for ADHD

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author discusses how AI tools, specifically Claude Code, can serve as an "executive function prosthetic" for individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This approach reframes challenges not as a lack of discipline, but as a need for external support systems that compensate for difficulties in areas like working memory, task initiation, context switching, and time perception. By externalizing these functions into an AI-readable format, the author finds relief and improved productivity, treating these AI tools as assistive engineering rather than a form of cheating. AI

    <p>For years I thought I had a discipline problem. I had shipped code, finished a degree, built things, and still the dominant private feeling was that I was getting away with something, that the gap between what I could do on a good day and what I could do on a normal one was a …
