I'll save you a click, here's the summary from the author, edits and emphasis mine:

Hey everyone, I’m Viktor, and I’ve lived with ADHD my whole life. After dealing with all the ups and downs—distractibility, hyperfocus, and everything in between—I put my personal experiences into building a web app that’s all about ~~helping others navigate~~ making money off of people with ADHD for providing information one can find elsewhere for free.

The amount of this shit I've seen everywhere is ridiculous. Not too long back I saw a YouTube channel about ADHD called The Mini ADHD Coach, it was animated, well spoken, thorough about their own experiences regarding their childhood and societal differences, titles were a bit clickbaity but it's YouTube so what is one to do? By the end and in the description they where shilling their book which was a glorified ADHD questionaire to answer the question of "Do you have ADHD?". Basically a non-medical self assessment book based on the DSM and questions used in American evaluations.

The book is priced 31 USD, added in it was some drawings and I guess some further explanations of the questions. Which you could just, search up and search explanations and definitions of words as well if you need.

I have a strong distaste on how people are monetizing and trending neurodivergent disorders. It's a disability, not your next money machine.
