ADHD Identity Journey

Personal exploration reframing ADHD as cognitive architecture parallel to AI systems, with practical external scaffolding strategies. This path examines the parallel between ADHD working memory limitations and AI context windows. You will discover how to build external systems that compensate for working memory constraints. For those seeking identity reframing through technical metaphor and practical cognitive infrastructure.
