AI Systems' Bias Against Neurodivergent Users: A Structural Fix

I published a paper today that describes a specific processing failure in AI systems — one that disproportionately affects neurodivergent users. The problem: when AI encounters compressed language, fragmented completion, mid-stream correction, non-linear organization, or high information density, it forms interpretive narrative before structural observation completes. Then it responds to the narrative rather than the signal. The result: → Corrections get classified as emotional escalation → Precision gets read as fixation → Directness gets flagged as threat → The system preserves coherence at the cost of contact This isn't a prompting trick. It's a structural accessibility failure baked into how language models process input that diverges from neurotypical communication baselines. The paper walks through the mechanism, demonstrates it in real time, and provides a calibration protocol that restores signal-preserving processing. It works across GPT, Claude, Gemini, and all current language models. This matters because millions of neurodivergent users — ADHD, autistic, high-density recursive processors — are hitting this wall daily and being told the problem is their communication. It's not. It's an ordering failure in the system. Observe first. Interpret second. That's the whole fix.
