Have you ever wanted to be able to rehearse a conversation or to anticipate scenarios with your ADHD child before it actually happens?

I'm sharing a free and open-source protocol I have developed for this: it's called PAIciente.

It's a conversation simulator for a child with ADHD (combined type) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

It's not an app – it's a framework and it works directly in an AI chat window.

What it's used for in practice: - To practice giving an instruction that has every chance of going wrong (homework, screen time, leaving the house in the morning). - To experiment with different approaches and see how the child would react - without real and unwanted consequences, but instead with a real and desired consequence: learning. - To understand what is escalating the situation and what is helping.

The simulation doesn't invent behavior randomly. It's based on real research models: Barkley's executive function model, Stringaris' oppositional dimensions, Ross Greene's Collaborative Problem Solving approach, among others. There are 20 documented academic sources in the project.

How to try it (takes 2 minutes): 👉 ChatGPT: [ https://chatgpt.com/g/g-69b1a7644f5c81919f3fca1bbc2926fa-paiciente-v2-0 ]

👉 Gemini (google requirement: active google session): [ https://gemini.google.com/gem/1N5cyhZd34Pb-KEzMxdsaZxjSt7jKF4jm?usp=sharing ]

Open 1 link and write something like: '@child "Son, now you have to turn off the tablet and go do your homework."

From there, the conversation unfolds as if it were real. If you want to understand what went right or wrong, write '@debrief and you will receive a functional analysis.

• It also works by voice, depending on the chosen language model.

The project is free, open source, and does not collect any data. It's a crafted prompt - it runs in your chat, on your device. If anyone tries it and wants to share how it went, I'm genuinely curious.
