Do I have to have adhd to find this video meandering and boring? 😴
Comment from : @pineappleuncleify

I was put through series of tests when I was young that took place in a office by myself, which wasn't a question test, but a test with alphabet letters on the screen popping up and had to click right or left part of the mouse on a certain letter etc etc Each test was longer than the one before it Once I was finished a graph was created and printed out that I scored 97 of having ADHD The test could tell that on some parts of the test I didn't apply any clicks and was in a daze It also can tell at times I'd just spin the Chair around and look at the other side of the room at pictures on wall One more thing I did was click numerous times on a letter instead of just once bc I deal with ocd and compalsiveness brbrbrSir I'd like to say thank you bc you couldn't have been more accurate for me on everything you explained bc everything you said I experience except for maybe 1 Medication helps tremendously for these things you spoke about plus slows me and my brain down so I can focus I wish the best for everyone God bless!!

First of allI've watched this video 5 times SecondI've spent 39 years on this earth living with this ADHD brain I have and you just perfectly explained exactly what I've never been able to articulate when someone asks me what it's like to have ADHD Thank you for making us ADHD'ers feel heard and understood I think we could all use more content like this 💙

Comment from : @sinokomp

I'm so glad this video exists It explained everything in a way I could understand I don't believe I have ADHD, but the man I care about, a potential partner has ADHD I want to understand the basics so when I have the opportunity to ask him about his experience, I'm not going in blind or get overwhelmed by information Thank you for posting this 2:02
Comment from : @Tatothepenguin

Though I didn't fully grasp everything in this video due to zoning out a couple of times, I still feel it After 2 or 3 years of procrastinating, I'm finally going to a doctor to get me checked I'm very excited, but also dread this, because I don't know, what I will do if they say I don't have it I feel I'm so incopatible with life and that my struggles shouldn't be struggles in the first place Thank you for this video

Comment from : @mathiasheimann5526

I look around at people that I went to school with, and they’re just living their lives with a career and families while my life is in shambles I’ve known about ADHD for awhile, even read the book “Driven to Distraction” some years back, but never thought ADHD could silently wreck your life the way it has mine I’m 43 now, and I’ve gotten the ball rolling with seeking therapy and hopefully medication will be soon to follow But, I can’t get out of my mind the thought of “after I pop these pills and gain clarity, focus, and peace, what do I do now”???

ADHD has been a challenging journey, but the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms has been transformative, with other psychedelics like DMT and LSD are also playing a key role in my healing and personal growth

Lembro quando eu tinha 13 anos e falei pra minha mae que eu me sentia diferente pois sentia que tudo que eu precisava fazer era necessario gastar todas minha força de vontade pra fazer ao ponto de nao sobrar nada Meus cadernos eram bagunças enormes, rasuras, pedacos faltando, letras faltando, formato de eacrita vsriavel e uma infinidade de coisas

Comment from : @wafiyhusni782

This is really well explained Only thing is, he keeps saying "a few minutes of attention", but for me it's seconds 6-8 seconds
Comment from : @chilleddriving1455

The problem is finding the person that has the ability, knowledge or skills to carry out a "very good evaluation" of the child 27:07 While this was a nice conclusion to the video, the reality is, the people that have this ability, knowledge, skills, and the techniques used to make very good evaluations, are quite elusiveand procuring evaluations that are deemed NOT "very good", or not thorough, not complete, or don't provide any avenue for a roadmap to best work with the patient can easily set families back thousands of dollars or even tens of thousands of dollars Such evaluations are barely, if at all, covered by insurance
Comment from : @aguileraq77

Struggled with adhd my whole life Almost 40! And I have NEVER heard anyone describe everything about me this well

For someone recently diagnosed with adhd this video was amazing This guy didn’t miss a beat Ordering his book now
Comment from : @Sizzle408

1550 regarding memory is me all day long! I'm 54 almost 55 and I was just diagnosed with ADHD I've always thought that I had some sort of learning disability So I have developed a lot of strategies to help me on my own and have been successful in my work life most recently I have been struggling mightily related to focus and getting work done I suspected it had something to do with me being postmenopausal, I have also dealt with a lot of change, and some other negative things Anyway I went for some neuropsychology testing to see if I am developing any dementia I felt like I might be suffering from early onset dementia I was also interested to see if there was any way they could determine if I have dyslexia As a result they added academic testing to the 4-Hour test Long story short, a week later, a team of three people who I worked with for the testing said that I have ADHD We'll see what happens from here but I'm hopeful
