I am supremely interested in this business idea. ADHD is an incredibly large population and frequently disadvantaged in ways they and others are incapable of seeing.

As a point of comparison I have a son with severe dyslexia and another with severe ADHD. My son with dyslexia was completely illiterate until almost the 4th grade and now he is almost making a 4.0 in high school with ease. ADHD is by far the greater challenge affecting everything from learning, functioning, and motor cognition.

I am a bit hesitant to comment here. The last ADHD related thread I saw on HN was the worst shit show I have seen on HN filled with big tears and many narcistic people injecting unrelated defenses against personal attacks that didn't exist.

This reads....shitty. "I'm interested in business ideas for large frequently disadvantaged populations"... I mean...are you interested in ways to make money off cancer patients, too?

Stuff like this app needs to be part of a diverse treatment plan, not some profit center for an exploitative corporation.

There's something a bit ironic about this statement...

If it actually helps treat cancer at a reasonable expense then absolutely. Medicine comes at a cost.


profit motive and reasonable expenses are diametrically opposed.

I sincerely hope you never find yourself bankrupted due to some condition outside your control.
