What if the system wasn?t broken by neurodivergent users?what if it was exposed by them?
You weren?t too scattered. Too sensitive. Too slow.
The system was too narrow.
In this groundbreaking book, SEO strategist and digital leader Donna Bedford blends personal story, professional insight, and deep pattern recognition to reveal how neurodivergent users interact with digital systems?and why AI might finally be the shift we?ve needed.
Part memoir, part manifesto, and part strategic playbook, Feeling Seen by a Machine is the first book to connect SEO, AI, and neurodiversity in one clear, human-centered framework. From bounce rate to burnout, from chatbot loops to inclusive UX design, this is essential reading for marketers, developers, accessibility teams, and anyone building digital systems meant to ?just work.?
This isn?t about fixing people.
It?s about fixing the defaults that ignore them.
Because neurodiversity isn?t a niche.
It?s a signal.
It?s a framework.
It?s the future of digital systems that actually fit.
Once you see the friction, you can?t unsee it.
Once you feel the cognitive load, you can?t unknow the cost.
And once you recognize the patterns?looping, masking, bouncing, breaking?you?re responsible for building better.
THIS IS THE SHIFT.
From searching for answers ? to being allowed to ask better questions
From optimizing for clarity ? to designing for cognitive care
From conversions ? to trust, return, and emotional resonance
Neurodivergent users didn?t break the web.
They revealed where it was never flexible enough to work.
LLMs didn?t replace answers.
They made room for nuance, emotion, and nonlinear thinking.
That?s not just inclusive.
It?s inevitable.
