What happens to a medicated ADHD brain when AI removes the last thing that used to slow it down.
I have ADHD, and I am medicated for it. I take it first thing. It lands about thirty minutes later, roughly as I finish the first coffee. Then I sit down to write software with an agent, and the day stops keeping time.
I look up thinking an hour and a half has gone, two at the outside. Six hours have gone. Later I step out for a cigarette, convinced I have been away too long, that it has been the better part of an hour. It has been fifteen minutes.
Both directions, most days. The work compresses and the breaks dilate. Nothing in me reports the difference, so I only find out by looking at a clock, and by then whichever it was has already happened.
The clock has run like that for years, medicated or not. That part is not about AI and I am not going to pretend it is. What AI changed is what fits inside those six hours.
