The Digital Village: AI for Neurodivergent Lives Part 1: It Starts at Home: AI for Everyday Neurodivergent Life

“The digital village doesn’t start with a device—it starts with love, laughter, and a little help from AI.”

Neurodivergent learners thrive in environments that honor their rhythms, needs, and brilliance. Whether you're parenting a sensory-sensitive five-year-old or supporting a partner with ADHD, AI can be a gentle co-parent, co-partner, and co-regulator.

🛠️ Tools That Gently Guide

• Goblin Tools helps break down chores into manageable steps. Perfect for executive function support.

• Alexa Routines create sensory-friendly mornings with affirmations, music, and reminders.

• Canva makes visual schedules that are easy to follow and fun to customize.

• Wysa offers emotional check-ins for kids, parents, and partners—like a pocket therapist with no judgment.

These tools aren’t flashy. They’re functional, friendly, and quietly powerful.

💬 Real-Life Use Case

“My daughter uses Alexa to start her day with affirmations and a sensory-friendly playlist. I use Goblin Tools to break down my own overwhelm. We’re learning together.”

This is the village in motion—tech that adapts to your life, not the other way around.
