Dyslexic & ADHD Writers - AI as Accessibility Tool

With so much hype, & so much legitimate concern, about the misuse of AI, I've been tentatively stepping back into social media. Partly because I have a novel coming. Partly because I think a conversation is missing. I've been trying to pick my platforms more carefully, looking for places where nuance still survives, rather than the louder feeds where everything collapses into the same fight. I'm dyslexic & have ADHD. I've spent forty years building careers around the gap between what's in my head & what makes it onto the page. For people like me, AI isn't generative; it's restorative. It doesn't write for me; it closes the friction between thought & finished sentence. I run a full audit trail on every step. No AI-generated content claimed as my own work. An accessibility tool, the way a screen reader is for someone blind. The current debate too often collapses two very different questions: "Should AI generate fake creative output?" & "Should neurodivergent people lose access to tools that let them function?" The first deserves the scrutiny it's getting. The second is being quietly steamrolled in the process. I'm writing about this. The novel, Faculty of Matter, comes out of the same questions: what we agree to give up when systems promise to help us. Many of you are deep experts in this space, working in AI, in the technologies around it, in policy & ethics. I'd genuinely welcome constructive input on this debate, especially the harder edges of it. 📚 carlmfreeman.substack.com 🦋 @gatekeeper0077.bsky.social #AI #Accessibility #Neurodiversity #Dyslexia #ADHD #AIEthics #FacultyOfMatter #Dreampunk
