Indeed, I have ADHD and it's evening now, so I got no meds in me.
With my hamster brain, I saw a wall of text at the top of this page, clicked the link, a wall of text on the landing page, even the title is too much information to digest. I literally have no idea what this thing does, and I won't allocate any effort in diving deeper. Focus is precious, I don't give that away easily.
I don't want to make assumptions, but this seems it has been done and designed by someone that has no idea how ADHD works.
Here's the ideal landing page for a product like this tailored for us: a clear tagline, 3 bullet points, pricing, and a FAQ section. That's it. Anything else is completely wasted on us.
People with ADHD like me don't read, they skim for anchor points. Even under the magical effect of amphetamines, unless I am deeply engaged, reading one sentence after the other is asking too much, especially since I learned to extract a ton of information from skimming and by the shape of things on a page. 80% of prose is filler after all.
In any case, good luck and I hope this help reaches those that need it and cannot afford focus in pill form.
What I read was that the founder and author of this thread got diagnosed a year ago and instantly got to building the service.
I also got diagnosed as an adult but though things started making sense when I went through the evaluations it has taken years of conscious thought to unravel my difficulties and even start to see what I should do and avoid doing because of it.
Personally I just can't find myself trusting a service like this unless it has strong connections to ongoing research or as part of treatment by professionals.
But I could really use a coach. I need someone to help me stick to and maintain my to-to list and/or help me write reminders but I'd really like them to really understand ADHD and be able to spot thoughts and behaviors and help me do well.
I've found some great paycholigists can do this, and I think it's very very rare among the rest of the population.
Thanks for weighing in—It is true that I was diagnosed last year, but that is most definitely not when my journey started. I grew up in an asian family as a "3rd culture kid", I'm also queer and came out in 2017, so things like getting diagnosed, etc., is not a simple process when you layer in cultural & family dynamics. We're working hard to get plugged in as part of the support system with professionals, and already are recommended by several psychiatrists and therapists. However, as discussed in earlier threads, we are not "treatment" and do not provide medical advice. If you ever change your mind and want a free consultation, don't hesitate to e-mail us! And agree on great psychologists being able to do that is rare!
