I'd like to answer questions about our work with the DoW and our thinking over the past few days. Please AMA.

ADHD isn’t an “attention deficit.” It’s a profound developmental disorder of self-regulation.
Dr. Russell Barkley (one of the world’s leading ADHD researchers) explains why the name “ADHD” has done massive damage:
- It trivializes a condition as serious as autism, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder.
- It makes people think “just drink coffee and focus” — when the real issue is far deeper.
The core problem isn’t just distractibility. It’s three interlocking executive deficits:
1. Persistence toward the future — inability to stay motivated by delayed rewards
2. Resistance to distractions — constant derailment by immediate temptations
3. Working memory — struggling to hold goals, plans, and consequences in mind
Together, these create a devastating impairment in self-regulation — the ability to consciously inhibit impulses, direct actions toward yourself (self-talk, self-monitoring), and align behavior with long-term welfare.
Barkley:
“This is not an attention problem. This is a disorder of self-regulation… as serious as manic depression, and in its own way, as autism.”
Parents often hear “he’s just lazy” or “she needs to try harder.”
The truth is far more compassionate and urgent:
The child’s brain is developmentally behind in the very mechanisms that allow other kids to stop, think, plan, and protect their future selves.
If we renamed it Self-Regulatory Developmental Disorder (SRDD), the conversation would change overnight.
How many adults do you know who still struggle with exactly these same three deficits — and were never properly understood as kids?

"Why does your app look so childish? Is it for kids?"
Nope. It’s for people with ADHD. We designed it to deliver dopamine at every level, because a boring interface is the enemy of focus.

The cruelest ADHD realization is that planning the hobby gives me 100% of the dopamine, while doing the hobby gives me 0%.
I didn't actually want to knit a scarf.
I wanted to buy $80 of yarn, watch a tutorial, and fantasize about being a "knitter" for an afternoon.
The fantasy was the finished product
