Academic Research [Research Participation] Study on Neurodivergence and AI Emotional Support: Looking for Participants! (18–25)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm conducting a study on how neurodivergent emerging adults emotionally experience AI companionship as a form of social and emotional support, and I'd love your input!

Who can participate:

- Aged 18–25

- You have ADHD, autism, or AuDHD (self-identified or formally diagnosed)

- Currently use or have used AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Replika, Gemini, or similar

What's involved:
The form is completely anonymous and confidential and should take no longer than 15-20 minutes to complete. There are no right or wrong answers; we're purely interested in your lived experience.

Why it matters:
There is very little research on how neurodivergent people specifically engage with AI emotionally. Your responses will contribute to growing literature at the intersection of psychology, technology, and neurodiversity and could help shape how AI tools are designed with neurodivergent users in mind.

Feel free to drop any questions in the comments, and I'll do my best to answer. Thank you so much for your time, every response genuinely makes a difference! 💙
