This paper examines the positive and negative impacts of augmented reality (AR) and generative artificial intelligence (GAI) on neurodiverse users (NDU). While AR, coupled with large language models (LLM), has the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis and training environments for NDUs, inherent biases in LLM training data, which predominantly reflects neurotypical user (NTU) content, pose significant risks. These biases can result in environments and interactions that are less accessible and potentially harmful to NDUs. The paper explores the implications of these biases, including the possibility of privacy invasion and the misuse of technology for diagnosing undiagnosed NDUs, leading to severe personal and professional consequences.
