The rule

Neurodivergence changes how a person understands emotions and social information.

An AI model must recognize these differences. The AI model should offer support that fits the user's specific needs.

Neurodivergence changes how a person processes emotions. It also changes how a person understands social information. This can make strong feelings much harder to manage. The AI model needs to understand these differences.

A student with ADHD experiences a breakup. The student feels extreme emotional pain. The student might also feel rejection very deeply. An AI model can offer coping strategies for intense feelings. The AI model can also help the student understand rejection sensitivity. Another student with autism experiences a breakup. The student might focus on broken social rules. The student might also struggle with changes to their routine. An AI model can help the student process these changes. The AI model can also explain social cues that were missed.
