Narrative:
On takeoff roll; first officer; PNF verbalized erroneous airspeed indications. Captain; PF continued takeoff with good airspeed indications. After lift-off; no autothrust ECAM displayed. Could not reengage. Autoplt would not engage. Both flight directors inoperative. Reactive windshear and conditioned trim air system faults displayed. Altn law: prot lost. Declared an emergency. Returned to ZZZ for visual approach. I continued flying because of reliable flight instruments. First officer contacted operations; ATC; flight attendants and passenger. Gear down; flaps 3 degrees: direct law; use manual pitch trim. Emergency equipment standing by as precaution. Taxied to gate. According to the logbook; ADR3 indicated 80 KTS at gate. Adm malfunctioned. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that the only knowledge he has of the repairs required to return the aircraft to service were gleaned from this aircraft's log book several days later. No air data switching occurred during the short flight and how ADR3 managed to affect the first officer's airspeed indication is unknown.
