AI and Neurodiversity: Supporting Individuals with Autism, ADHD, and Other Cognitive Differences

Author(s) Prof. Srijani Sarkar

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a game-changer for supporting individuals with neurodivergence, such as those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and other cognitive variations. This article explains how AI can enhance cognitive, social, and emotional wellness in individuals with neurodivergence. It presents AI-based interventions including personalized learning support tools, speech and emotion recognition systems, virtual assistants, and adaptive therapy models.
Using a qualitative and descriptive approach, this study brings together literature review findings, interviews with experts, and case studies to outline the benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations of AI support for neurodiversity. Increased access to mental health treatment, improved communication for individuals with speech impairment, and AI’s potential for behavioral and cognitive skill development are key themes that emerge in the findings. Ethical biases, privacy of information, and AI limitations in reading human emotion remain significant challenges.
The report concludes that AI has tremendous potential to aid those with neurodivergence but is subject to ethical deployment, constant improvement, and coordination with human-led intervention. AI’s future development should be focused on making it more flexible, reducing biases, and inclusive in design and deployment. This study is part of the ongoing debate regarding AI’s potential to make society more accessible and accommodating for those with neurodivergence.
