About This Project
The research behind the site. No fluff, no hype.
Why This Exists
ADHD is the most researched neurodevelopmental condition on the planet. Yet most programming advice completely ignores it — or reduces it to "just use a timer." Meanwhile, millions of developers with ADHD are building software every day with brains that process information fundamentally differently.
This project exists to bridge that gap. 27 chapters. 100+ peer-reviewed sources. The neuroscience of how ADHD shapes the way we write code.
What You'll Find
- • How dopamine, working memory, and executive function shape programming style
- • Why ADHD developers often excel at debugging, architecture, and creative problem-solving
- • What AI pair programming means for neurodivergent workflows
- • Practical tools built on ADHD neuroscience — not productivity hacks
Research Standards
Every claim on this site is backed by peer-reviewed research. No superpower narratives. No deficit framing. ADHD is a neurological architecture that works differently — we explain how, with citations. When the evidence is mixed or incomplete, we say so.
For the Broader ADHD Community
Not a developer? The ADHD Mind covers the same neuroscience for everyone — emotions, time perception, creativity, medication, and more. Same research standards, accessible to all.
