Summary
Let’s talk about AI—because I know some of you are curious, some of you are already using it constantly, and some of you are like, “absolutely not.” All fair.
In this episode, I’m sharing how tools like ChatGPT can actually support an ADHD brain in real life. Not as a replacement for your thinking, your relationships, or your treatment—but as something that can hold your thoughts, help you get unstuck, and make it easier to follow through when your brain is overwhelmed. Because when you have ADHD, you’re carrying a lot all at once, and having something that can help you organize, process, and respond in the moment can be a game changer.
We also talk about the concerns—because they’re real. AI isn’t perfect, it can be inaccurate, and it shouldn’t replace human support. And at the same time, when used intentionally, it can be a powerful, low-barrier tool that helps bridge the gap between knowing what you want to do and actually doing it.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, this episode will open your eyes to a new kind of support that’s available to you right now.

| 0:20.0 | and challenges of adulting, relationships, |
| 0:22.8 | working, and achieving with this neurodevelopmental disorder. |
| 0:26.9 | I'll help you understand your unique brain, unlock your potential, and move from point A to |

| 0:33.5 | Hey, what's up? |
| 0:34.6 | This is Kristen Carter, and you're listening to the I have ADHD podcast. |
| 0:38.5 | I am medicated, caffeinated, regulated, and ready to roll. Hello, hello. We are talking about |
| 0:46.7 | something really fun today and I'm a little scared because every time I even just mention using AI or chat GPT people come for me in the comments. |
| 1:00.5 | But I am sharing with you today the ways that I've been using chat GPT or AI, my preferred AI, |
| 1:09.9 | I kind of go between chat GPT and Claude to support my life, |
| 1:14.8 | to support my brain. And I'm kind of a late adopter. But I think that this has the potential |
| 1:22.0 | to be really helpful to you too. So we're going to dive right in. Get in here, ADHD, or we've got a lot to talk about |
| 1:29.6 | today. And I'm just going to get started because it's a lot. But I have been using chat |
| 1:37.8 | GBT, BT a little bit, a little bit. And like I said, I'm kind of a late adopter. I have a couple friends that have |
| 1:47.0 | been using it much longer than me and have been saying, hey, you should use AI. And I'm like, |
| 1:53.3 | nah, I'm a little scared. It feels a little weird. I want to make sure that I'm producing all of my |
| 1:59.5 | own content. I'm not really sure that this is a good idea for me. |
| 2:05.5 | However, in the last I would say six months to a year, |
| 2:09.9 | I've incorporated it into my life in small ways |
| 2:13.5 | and it has made a really big difference. |
