This is an audio essay read by the author, me, Jenn McRae.

This is a take that is deeply personal and politically. I unpack how AI functions as assistive technology for neurodivergent and disabled people—myself included. From ADHD and MS to executive dysfunction and creative overwhelm, I share how AI has become my cognitive prosthetic: a thinking partner, emotional mirror, research engine, and lifeline. Along the way, I break down the Accessible Canada Act, the social model of disability, and the myth of normal. This one’s for the folks navigating invisible barriers—and for anyone who believes tech should serve human dignity, not just productivity.
