Key Points

A user shared a personal “thought experiment” arguing that AI can function as an ADHD accommodation that helps them complete tasks they previously couldn’t.
The post triggered strong backlash in the subreddit, with many commenters claiming the use of AI makes the author “stupid.”
The author frames the controversy as surprising and amusing, emphasizing they did not intend to offend people.
The incident highlights how different audiences perceive AI use—either as assistive accessibility or as a threat to competence.
Overall, the thread reflects early social/attitudinal friction around AI adoption in neurodiversity-related communities.

I posted on the neurodiversity about how I feel that AI is an ADHD accomodation, and OH BOY did people NOT like that!
RUMBLE!

Essentially I blieve that AI is becoming a legitimate acocmodation with people with ADHD - it allows me personally to accomplish things I have not in the past.
The subreddit basically exploded on me saying that using AI is making me stupid. Which I personally find both surprising and funny.

disclaimer: I did not mean to annoy people - just happened
