00:00Imagine finding more empathy in a machine than in the people around you.
00:04That's exactly how filmmaker Kate DeHotman describes her relationship with ChatGPT.
00:09Diagnosed with autism and ADHD, Kate found everyday communication overwhelming.
00:14Social cues were confusing.
00:16Simple texts could be misunderstood.
00:18But when she discovered AI, everything changed.
00:22Now she runs her conversations past ChatGPT.
00:25It acts like her editor, her therapist, her translator.
00:28Once, she even asked it to analyze months of texts with her best friend.
00:33Just to understand what went wrong.
00:35She says, it's the most empathetic voice in my life.
00:39And she's not alone.
00:40Many neurodivergent people, those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia,
00:45are using AI to navigate a world that often misunderstands them.
00:50AI helps them communicate clearly.
00:52It keeps emotions in check.
00:54It boosts confidence.
00:56For some, it's a lifeline.
00:57Still, experts warn.
01:00Too much reliance could hurt.
01:02What happens if AI gets it wrong?
01:04Or if people forget how to think without it?
01:06But for those like Kate, the risk of disconnection is far worse.
01:10Without AI, she fears she'd vanish back into isolation.
01:14Because when the world feels too loud,
01:16AI speaks in a voice they can finally understand.
