“ Shimmer was born from my personal frustration when I was diagnosed last year & wasn’t able to find an affordable, quality ADHD coach. True hyperfocus mode,”

Having a diagnosis that you have a recognized mental health disorder and then being able to, in less than a year, have a full platform launched and ready to go should make anyone who struggles with ADHD pause and ask how and question everything.

I’ve had ADHD my whole life and was diagnosed 10ish years ago. I couldn’t, medicated or not, accomplish anything of this magnitude in that amount of time if my life depended on it.

Nor anyone I know who has ADHD.

I can’t even think how your first thought would be to find a “coach” and then the idea you have is a coach platform and decided to run with it and attempt to build a whole ass platform instead of adapting to your new diagnosis.

Also why look for a coach? Not a therapist? Coach’s are known to be a morally grey area.

Further more, hyperfocus doesn’t work like this and putting it in the cheeky “true hyperfocus mode” sounds disingenuous and unempathetic to your intended clients struggles.

Finishing stuff is HARD for ADHD people. How is this already done?

This reeks of trying to profit off the ADHD boom of the last couple years.

I hope I’m wrong about my suspicions and I hate that this is my first comment on this site, but seriously this is concerning.

I normally want to lift people up and commend them on their accomplishments yet I can’t for the life of me understand the thought process here. It’s the most neurotypical/grifty answer to a diagnosis I’ve ever heard.
