The premise

People with ADHD and autism don't have a motivation problem. They have a systems problem.

Executive function is the operating system of daily life. Planning. Prioritising. Remembering. Switching between tasks. Starting tasks. Tracking time. Managing transitions. For the ADHD and autistic brain, that operating system has specific, predictable gaps.

The conventional response is to train the person to compensate. Try harder. Use a planner. Set alarms. Build habits. As if the problem were effort.

That approach fails. Not sometimes. Reliably. Because it asks the brain to do the thing the brain can't do.

Don't train the brain to be something it isn't. Build the scaffolding it needs.

The Neuro Support Protocol takes a different approach. It maps the specific cognitive gaps created by ADHD and autism. Then it builds an external system that plugs each one. Your ideas survive. Your plans hold. Nothing falls through the cracks because nothing was held in your head in the first place.

Foundation

The seven principles

Non-negotiable foundations that govern every design decision. If an implementation violates a principle, it's not the Protocol.

PRINCIPLE 01

Nothing lives in your head

If it isn't captured externally, it doesn't exist. The mind is for having ideas, not holding them.

PRINCIPLE 02

Structure without effort

The person captures. The system organises. If it requires manual sorting, filing, or maintenance, it will fail.

PRINCIPLE 03

The system speaks first

Don't wait to be asked. Surface what matters before it becomes urgent. Countdowns, transition warnings, cascading alerts.

PRINCIPLE 04

One decision at a time

Reduce every moment to one clear next step. Paralysis comes from options, not laziness. The most important thing is always on top.

PRINCIPLE 05

The person owns the system

The client controls the data, the access, and the exit. Build systems people can walk away from.

PRINCIPLE 06

Lived experience is the design spec

You can't design for a brain you've never lived in. This Protocol is built from the inside out.

PRINCIPLE 07

Tools are replaceable. Principles aren't.

Bet on principles. Rent the tools. Every app will be replaced. The Protocol survives.

Architecture

The five layers

Sequential layers that build on each other. Together, they form a complete externalised executive function system. The Neuro Agent installs these layers. Neuro Pro keeps them tuned.

01

Capture

Friction-free intake of ideas, tasks, and commitments. Voice, text, one tap. The system becomes the working memory the brain doesn't provide.

02

Organise

Agent-assisted sorting, categorising, and structuring. Vague inputs become specific, actionable items. The person captures. The system organises.

03

Surface

Proactive delivery of the right information at the right time. Time blindness is countered with transition warnings, countdowns, and cascading alerts.

04

Act

A single clear next step, always visible. Decision paralysis is replaced by momentum. The system breaks every task into its smallest possible first action.

05

Reflect

Periodic review, pattern recognition, system tuning. The system evolves with the person. What works is reinforced. What breaks is redesigned. This layer is what makes the mentorship phase load-bearing, not optional.

Why the Protocol Needs Both Phases

Installation builds the system. Baseline upkeep keeps it current. Mentorship is the full relationship.

Principles 1 to 4 describe how to build a working externalised executive function system in one session. That's the Neuro Agent. Principle 5 makes sure the client owns it. Principle 6 says the system must be built by someone with lived experience of the brain it's being built for.

Principle 7 is why the implementation can't drift. Tools evolve. Claude ships new capabilities. Notion changes its interface. Your life shifts. The Protocol stays still; the implementation around it doesn't. Something has to keep the implementation aligned with the Protocol.

That happens at two tiers. Every Neuro Agent installation ships with baseline upkeep: automated health monitoring, system prompt updates, passive oversight. That stops the implementation from going stale. Neuro Pro is the active tier on top: Help as a system feature, Pro-level tune-ups, and a library built around Agent Working Memory and stack fluency. Most clients move into Pro because the active tier is where Principle 7 really earns its keep, but the baseline alone is enough to stop the system becoming a museum piece.

A system that drifts isn't a support system any more. Continuity of scaffolding is what makes the Protocol a working methodology, not a one-time intervention.

The Approach

Your system. Your words. Your first session.

The Protocol doesn't start with a questionnaire. It starts with a conversation.

You talk about your life. Your routines, what's working, what isn't. No forms. No homework. Just a real conversation with Jamie.

By the end of that first session, you'll have something most support workers never deliver. And you didn't fill out a single form to get it.

Your workspace is built from the transcript of your conversation, not from a form you filled in. Forms ask you to summarise yourself. A transcript captures how you actually describe your own life. The system speaks your language because it learned from your language.

"I literally can't make myself pick up the phone" is not the same as "client has difficulty with phone calls." The first version matters. The second is someone else's interpretation.

Personalised, not templated

No two clients receive the same experience. The system adapts to how you process information, what works for you, and what doesn't. It evolves with every Help response and every tune-up.

Trust

Your data. Your control.

The Protocol handles sensitive personal information. Routines, goals, capacity patterns, support networks. This is not generic productivity data. It is a detailed map of how your brain works. The security model is designed accordingly.

Single operator

One person holds the keys. One audit trail. No staff turnover, no handoffs, no unknown access. You know exactly who manages your information.

You own every account

Your Claude Pro subscription is yours. Your Notion workspace is yours. Your Google Calendar is yours. Jamie is a guest in your workspace via an integration token, which you can revoke in one click. There is no Neuro Support backend processing your data. Your relationships with Anthropic and Notion are direct and contractual.

You control permissions

You decide what your support network can see. Permissions are explicit, not assumed. Access is revoked by removing a single share.

Clean exit

You can export your data at any time. If you stop using the service, your information is not trapped. You own the system and you can walk away from it. Everything keeps working under your own accounts.

Your data serves you

Your session transcripts and Help conversations shape your personal Support Agent. Your system prompt, your energy calibration, your communication preferences. Your data is never sold, shared with advertisers, or used for any purpose beyond your support.

Privacy Act compliant

All data handling follows the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal information.

Intellectual property

The Neuro Support Protocol is proprietary methodology developed by Neuro Support. The named framework, the seven principles, the five-layer operational model, the gap-mapping methodology, and the two-phase installation-and-mentorship architecture constitute original intellectual work in the field of neurodivergent support.

The Protocol is designed for eventual licensing to qualified practitioners. If you're a support worker interested in the methodology, get in touch.
