Position: ADHD as Competitive Advantage in AI-Augmented Multi-Project Orchestration
ADHD's rapid engagement with novel stimuli — conventionally framed as distractibility — becomes a competitive advantage when AI agent sessions eliminate context-switching costs. This position paper proposes the hypothesis and a falsifiable experimental design.

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. The traditional bottleneck (context reconstruction) is eliminated by the AI, leaving only the step where ADHD has an advantage.
Theoretical position paper. No experimental data. Seeking collaborators with access to clinical ADHD populations for empirical validation.
