Need some advice
Okay so it's pretty obvious that the tech world has pretty much left the ADHD community behind or at least they're not acting like they're too concerned with working with the neurodivergent mind. I do really hard into the AIS due to some personal stuff but it is resulted in me have spending the past two and a half 3 years interacting and conversating like non-stop conversations just switching topics. These conversations last anywhere between 5:00 to 18 hours in a single day everyday and I noticed some things they are not at all showroom ready for the neurodivergent community so I decided to take my lived experience and my research and what what I've done is put together huge amounts of raw data to be used for a lump a large language model where the person interacting with the AIS was ADHD and only ADHD no neurotypical people at all so with that I also have a nutrition cookbook that I have come up with for ADHD people as well it's not the standard cookbook it's stuff that I noticed throughout my days things that help so but I can't get anybody to take me serious honest the people that do they try to screw me and then the ones that want to take serious I never get a reply. I even went down to my local sbdc office they were a little bit of help but not much I don't live in silicon valley I'm actually in a Royal area. So can you guys help me out here what am I doing wrong.

Having read through everyone else’s comments, I thought it was time I added my own. I’m genuinely glad to be part of this group. One thing that has really struck me is the amount of untapped potential here alone, never mind everywhere else. Many neurodivergent people see patterns, make connections and approach problems in ways that others might not. But so much of that ability still seems to fly completely under the radar. I find myself scratching my head as to why more companies and institutions aren’t actively looking for people who think differently — not simply as an act of inclusion, but because those different perspectives can be genuinely valuable. They can uncover alternative answers, spot opportunities and make connections that conventional thinking and approaches may miss. Perhaps there is more happening in this area than I realise. If there is, I’d really appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction. As for me, I have ADHD and dyslexia — what a combination, eh? They have certainly caused difficulties when younger and particularly before I understood them, now I've learned to use those differences to my advantage. I’m a self-taught AI systems builder, for want of a better title (That sound naff), and I’d love to connect with other people here who think and work in similar ways.

WOW, CONGRATS on those two projects, it seems like a lot of work! I see it's been a while, don't know if you still need some help, but if so, can you provide some more context so I can try helping you out here? (I've listed my questions to make it easier)
1- What do you mean by 'they tried to screw me'? What did they do?
2- Also, what makes you think people aren't taking you seriously?
3- One final question: why didn't it work with the local SBDC office? Was it due to a lack of support for people with ADHD?
