Position: ADHD as Competitive Advantage in AI-Augmented Multi-Project Orchestration
In AI-augmented multi-session workflows, the remaining cognitive step after switching is re-engagement. ADHD brains may perform this step faster than neurotypical brains because their attentional system is optimized for rapid stimulus-locking. When AI context retention removes the context-reconstruction bottleneck, only the step where ADHD has an advantage remains. This position paper proposes the hypothesis, specifies boundary conditions (AI context quality, medication effects, switch propensity), and outlines a falsifiable experimental design.

- ADHD framed as environment-adaptation mismatch, not deficit.
- Boundary conditions are specified up front rather than treated as caveats.
- Position paper first, clinical-population pilots forthcoming — falsifiability before fieldwork.
Published as a Zenodo position paper. Seeking collaborators with access to clinical ADHD populations for empirical validation. Venue work tracked in submissions/ and planning/TODO.md.
