@@SaphiraTessa autism and ADHD have a wide overlap of symptoms (and are commonly comorbid- as in someone having both) so while these apply to adhd they may apply to your autism as well :)
It’s also realistically portrayed!! Like we aren’t straight up like squirrel it’s more like we get reminded of something vaguely related to the topic and feel the need to passionately share that sort of connect that was made between topics
Yup, I can't remember something when I try to think of it. Then when someone talks about it in a vague way, my brain gets jogged/ bumped into making the connection I forget even existed. My mental world exists, it's vast and deep and beautiful. I just so happened to have lost the map of it, and can't draw for the life of me.
Yup, like the other day me and my boyfriend had a little "No, i wasn't!" because non of us remembered to shut off the lights coming in the room, and we joked about we may have a ghost and we called it Adam and than i remembered as i made a quick meal for myself that i actually fear women more as i was usually more bullied and picked on by girls and woman my whole life and than i started thinking about what would have happen if in "Until dawn", at the teraphy session with the pictures you chose that you more afraid of women, would it affect the game like at all? This was in around 3 minutes.
So true. My husband used to just stare at me and wonder how the hell we got to this topic from the previous one. Once I told him my brain works by associations and just goes off on semi-related tangents, he was a lot more understanding.
‼️ I feel like crying because I have recently begun to finally understand this is my condition and facing the trauma that caused this condition on the little girl i once was… is so hard and heartbreaking. I feel that nobody around me understands me and just thinks I’m a silly airhead who needs to grow up. I feel like I’m not a “real” adult.
You are a real adult, if you've been through it you've earned it and some more. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The outsiders don't know even half the burden we're facing on a daily basis. You're doing great.
Ommg you’re me!! I’m 38 and FINALLY went to my doctor last week- I was diagnosed and now being treated. Please PLEEEASE for the love of God and especially YOURSELF- go talk to your primary.

On the other hand, I managed to trip and fall into a career I enjoy where my oddball brain can be super helpful to me and my teammates. I'm 50 now and don't think I'll ever feel like an adult - we're all winging it in our own way.

I don't have ADHD, but my brother does, and this is one of the first videos where I can see this EXACT situation happening with him. Great portrayal, and shows what it can be like for an outside person looking in
I love how these are symptoms both common in hyperactive and inattentive ADHD, most people overlook the latter so I'm happy it's getting more attention!
I get so sad when I can't find things and then other people move one thing and find everything I need and I'm like I swear I looked there, there's a poltergeist. But in reality I just DON'T see things.
So true! I have 3 calendars (phone, journal, wall), 3 alarms (wakeup, get ready, leave), and a night-before routine where I toss everything I may need for my appointment...and I still panic about what I may be forgetting. 🤣
The wake up/get ready/leave alarms are the only way I can leave the house between 5-10mins late. Although not really because all my clocks and watches are fast by varying degree's! Heavy duty time keeping measures is life for ADHD'ers!
Do you know why people with ADHD do that? Impulsive behavior is one thing, but my daughter told me, if she waits until the other party finishes talking, she will forget what she wanted to say. Poor working memory is one of the symptoms of ADHD.
The fact you can experience almost every symptom in less than a minute is so painful. Everything hits you one after the other with no breaks from it 😭😭😭
@@Eaten_squid_cake That is quite literally what ADHD is. If someone only experiences these symptoms sometimes or occasionally, they categorically do not and cannot have ADHD.
@@Eaten_squid_cake Because the diagnostic criteria for ADHD requires symptoms to be frequent and to cause clinically significant impairment on the majority of days and in multiple areas of a person's life (social, education, family, etc.). If a person is only impaired by their symptoms "sometimes" or "occasionally", and their difficulty is not clinically significant, a diagnosis of ADHD is not accurate. Their struggles have to be considered extreme and must sit outside of the normal range of difficulty and behaviour.
Yeah the talking excessively, being easily distracted, and losing things are my main symptoms or the ones most noticeable. But I also am very inflexible and need organization yet I’m very disorganized. Worst symptom in my opinion to have is talking, it sucks, I wish I could just be able to keep everything in my head instead of blurting it all out. I feel so dumb sometimes
Me too. I have an appointment in the middle of the month. I'm afraid I'm gonna miss it the first half the month. End up forgetting it, day of. Also end up going late, and frustrated. Then still feel like I'm going to miss it for the rest of the month. Even though I already went. 🙃
I do most of these things, but I just started to get ready 4 hours earlier than I need to and set 50 million alarms so when I inevitably get distracted it's not a huge problem and I can get pulled out by my alarms
Ahhhh yeah me too…. ✌️ Everyone always makes fun of my 3 million alarms though but they help me so I don’t mind it too much. I just feel bad for the people who have to hear my alarms 😅
On days when I have important things, I set so many alarms. I also have anxiety about messing up, so I'll set them a day ahead, but I'll always either still be early or just cutting it close to the thing that I need to do. My husband is a big help to get me to refocus but some days no matter what I'm more "scattered" and it takes quite a while for me to get the mental ball cohesively rolling 😭
@@kidtacularKIDS god this makes me want to cry! I hate this part about me because I feel so alone in the stupid struggle. But yeah I’m on the same boat 🥲✌️
I hate it when people think im just some lazy bastard and think that they can motivate me by challenging my pride. Im trying my best already, your just making everything harder!
Talking to yourself can also be a symptom, I usually do to more easily go through my thoughts, also it’s probably kinda influenced by watching TH-camrs basically talk to theirselves during videos.
@@Wipeout186 I wonder if the Talking Excessively criteria can be applied internally and not just externally. Most people who know me would not say I talk excessively (they actually would say I'm a very quiet person), but I talk to myself ALL the time.

The fact that my name is also Olivia and just newly diagnosed ADHD…I am so glad I found your account. You’re making me feel so seen and I thank you so much!❤
As someone who didn't get diagnosed until I was an adult, much of my childhood was dealing with things like this but finding routines, schedules, and habits to manage. It wasn't until I was in a job that required longer term planning rather than just regular schedules and reactionary work that I finally went to a Dr. to get diagnosed.
This is soooo accurate 😭 the only reason I don’t forget about important stuff is that mostly it’s hanging out with my friends and I get so excited for that that I literally CAN’T forget
This is so true but for me it presents kind of differently, which is why despite some school/social struggles I wasn’t diagnosed until my later teens. I have always been quiet and not very talkative, which in little kids is seen as a virtue and they’re called “obedient” and “respectful”, but the truth for me is that I was quiet cause my brain was in a completely other location. I forget everything and cannot focus on what people are saying to me, cause even though I don’t verbalize it this is exactly what goes on in my head.
There’s 3 types of ADHD- hyperactive/impulsive, inattentive and combined (which is a mix of both). It sounds like you might be more inattentive based on what you wrote.
i think i have adhd and my parens say i probably dont but i talk a lot get distaracted easily forgets stuff really fast and im really hyper active and i dont rlly think before i speak
The answering questions before they are finished asking is very real and can be so infuriating. My bf does it all the time and he'll KEEP guessing the answer before I can finish a sentence and it makes me want to scream...
Hell yeah! Time perception, lack of organisational skills etc is a constant battle for me. You can teach yourself to be organised, keep important events in your phone calendar
Wow you are so accurate. It brings tears in my eyes seeing this because my ex girlfriend used to talk exactly like this. I wish I had more awareness about mental health issues when I met her, so I could help her. It makes me feel bad that we are not together anymore and I can’t help her. If I knew this earlier things would have been different today God Bless You
I relate to this HARD..... I arrived to be assessed for adhd a full day late..... Thought I was meant to be there on that day, instead of the previous..... Needless to say, they saw me, assessed me and diagnosed me with adhd 😅
I have had so many moments where I know I have to be somewhere, but I have forgotten and remembered it the last possible moment that I could still take a bus down
I have just perfectly demonstrated scrolling paralysis and time blindness, it’s 12:30 in the Morning, I have scrolled through all your shorts, I only meant to watch a couple, it was 11:00 pm when I started watching
this is literally me but i haven’t been diagnosed so i’m not claiming anything lol but yeah i do this way too often it’s actually really annoying to me haha
I haven’t been diagnosed with ADHD and this is literally me every second of the day. XD Wow thanks for all the likes this is the most likes and comments I’ve ever had on a comment xD
I literally have the issue that I am always 5 to 15 minutes late to nearly everything. All of these apply to me and if I ever have "free" time, my mind bounces around and cannot think of anything to focus on. It is to the point that my boss basically diagnosed me of ADHD with everything but the name: -hyper fixation of tasks. -random bouncing between tasks -no sense of importance of tasks -inability to show up on time -over talking due to a need to talk about a topic if it comes up -many many more
I nearly missed my bus this morning I got distracted all morning and realised I still needed to brush my teeth, clean my ears (piercing), do my makeup, put on shoes and do my skincare right when I realised it was too late to do any of those things 😅
THAT IS LITERALLY ME- Other than the losing track of time thing. I do lose track of time, but I have anxiety and I have a literal fear of being late so I'm always early lol
I remember in grade 3 being super hyperactive and thinking “oh this is normal, all kids are like this” but when I was in class I would constantly not be paying attention like I would be doodling or writing random things on my paper. When I was in 4th grade I was diagnosed with ADHD and i was really destructive so my friends were constantly making sure i didn’t get myself killed 💀 by high school I climbed on the roof of my house while my friends were over and my parents were out. They were screaming looking for me. So I wasn’t allowed alone when I was 14 :>
Just because she has these symptoms doesn't mean you have ADHD, ADHD can be seen in many different ways, just because you have the symptoms doesn't mean you have it, but yea you should check for it.
@@abbyisyourcrush This is true. People often confuse the two. For example, in families where ADHD is present, individual traits of ADHD tend to be more common than ADHD itself. Most people in a family typically won't have ADHD, but many will have traits of it, then you have a minority with ADHD. ADHD is a polygenic disorder, meaning there are multiple and many genes involved, and each one contributes to individual traits differently. Hence, people can and often do have traits of ADHD without the disorder element.
Have not been diagnosed with ADHD but the more I see videos like this the more I worry I have it because I have done all of these things within the past week
Any time I've ever had to be anywhere! Usually it's hyper focus, or distracted with something random even getting hyper focused on getting ready for the thing, only to realize I'm already late.
All of this but the answering before a question is finished is HUGE for me. I ALWAYS assume what people are gunna say and cut them off and feel so bad bc whether I'm right or not I'm like I didn't mean to interrupt I just got excited/or I wanted to reassure I already knew the thing you had to say so you didn't have to say it😭😭😭 been trying to stop it but it is SO HARD
What helps me with focus when I’m completing tasks at home and I don’t want to take medicine is I have something playing in the background. No music but I have a tv show that I’ve already watched so I don’t get too distracted. I take small breaks between what I’m doing. It typically takes me an hour just to do one chore but this really helps spread up the process! NOTE: This may not work with everyone!! Don’t stress out (try not to) if it doesn’t work right away! It takes time to get used to.
As someone with adhd I agree with these points and feel seen thank you it can be a struggle but I wouldn't change it cause it's apart of who I am even though I sometimes feel embarrassed about it
Number three hit me hard. I never understood why my former friend would talk to much and then I started talking so much and turns out we both have ADHD TvT Now I struggle with interrupting like she did. Now I understand her. I feel bad for judging her so much.
Your friend started talking to much so then you started talking tok much. Your friend started interrupting so you started interrupting meaning these things only started after you met your friend lol.
For me at least 1 and 2 could not be less accurate (my adhd probably affects me differently) because I ALWAYS have to know where everything is and I am CONSTANTLY worrying about being late to things and will usually leave 5 mins early lol
Me: does all these things all the time My family: no way will we get you looked at by a doctor, you can't have ADHD! My research and paranoia: *are you sure about that* Update: I was diagnosed with adhd. I WAS RIGHT-
For ADHD I have found the:ULTIMATE NOTEBOOK. It’s a white board. -You can make lists on it -You can make a calendar on it -You can’t forget about it since everytime you pass by it you’ll remember -You can use it for infinity -You can make it aesthetic so it’s more motivating -The possibilities are endless
this is me 😅🙃😭 but i dont have ADHD, just other stuff (well, i mean the ADHD has never been ruled out, Im just counting it as so until I get more therapy to sort through my issues.)
My psych gave me Wellbutrin and kind of brushed off the fact that brought adhd up to him. Said “don’t think too much into it” but still gave me the Wellbutrin to try and see if it makes a difference…but I swear everything points to adhd. It makes sense now too…when I don’t treat those symptoms it triggers my MDD and anxiety because then I start feeling awful.
“It’s in 11 minutes. I have plenty of time.”
“It’s in 9 minutes! I don’t have enough time!! Why did I wait so long!?”
I see what you did there 👁️
I always try to get the perfect time to go so I won't waste any time but then I wait too long and I'm late
bc if it’s less than 10 all of a sudden the number feels smaller

As someone who didn't get diagnosed until I was an adult, much of my childhood was dealing with things like this but finding routines, schedules, and habits to manage. It wasn't until I was in a job that required longer term planning rather than just regular schedules and reactionary work that I finally went to a Dr. to get diagnosed.
This is soooo accurate 😭 the only reason I don’t forget about important stuff is that mostly it’s hanging out with my friends and I get so excited for that that I literally CAN’T forget
Literally the whole time I was watching the video I did not notice that there was text on the screen
I only noticed when it said number five
Ah yes, Waiting Mode
This is so true. With ADHD, when you try to look for stuff by remembering, it honestly gets harder to find it
This is the most accurate one so far
This is so true but for me it presents kind of differently, which is why despite some school/social struggles I wasn’t diagnosed until my later teens. I have always been quiet and not very talkative, which in little kids is seen as a virtue and they’re called “obedient” and “respectful”, but the truth for me is that I was quiet cause my brain was in a completely other location. I forget everything and cannot focus on what people are saying to me, cause even though I don’t verbalize it this is exactly what goes on in my head.
There’s 3 types of ADHD- hyperactive/impulsive, inattentive and combined (which is a mix of both). It sounds like you might be more inattentive based on what you wrote.
Im the same!
Literally me 💀 Sometime it got that bad that even if I tring very hard to listen I just don't get what the words mean
@@airyokama think I’m combined. I’m not really hyperactive but I have no impulse control
i think i have adhd and my parens say i probably dont but i talk a lot get distaracted easily forgets stuff really fast and im really hyper active and i dont rlly think before i speak
The answering questions before they are finished asking is very real and can be so infuriating. My bf does it all the time and he'll KEEP guessing the answer before I can finish a sentence and it makes me want to scream...
Pls be patient with him I also have this problem and it’s not easy! ❤
Hell yeah! Time perception, lack of organisational skills etc is a constant battle for me. You can teach yourself to be organised, keep important events in your phone calendar
Wow you are so accurate. It brings tears in my eyes seeing this because my ex girlfriend used to talk exactly like this.
I wish I had more awareness about mental health issues when I met her, so I could help her.
It makes me feel bad that we are not together anymore and I can’t help her.
If I knew this earlier things would have been different today
God Bless You
I relate to this HARD..... I arrived to be assessed for adhd a full day late..... Thought I was meant to be there on that day, instead of the previous..... Needless to say, they saw me, assessed me and diagnosed me with adhd 😅
I just binge watched your entire channel. You're so funny and I relate to all of it!
I think I have adhd but my family doesn’t believe me
I think you just saved my life I thought I was going insane 😂 I finally found a way to explain myself to my family ❤
As a person with ADHD I can confirm
I was diagnosed by a docter. But this made me open my eyes about howI act daily😂 I'm somewhat organized but I lose things constantly
Ur literally like max 8 get off social media
@@Poland4life 8. No I was diagnosed at 12 and I'm 15 now. I'd word things wayyyy differently
@@mirandafrazier5221 your English and your pfp.
@@Poland4life That's my younger sister when she was a toddler. That was in the 2010's-2015's. She's now 12
@@Poland4life I also failed English, Thank you very much
All her videos are like an instructional video to me it’s amazing!
multiple. sets. of. keys. are. life. changing.
I have had so many moments where I know I have to be somewhere, but I have forgotten and remembered it the last possible moment that I could still take a bus down
I have just perfectly demonstrated scrolling paralysis and time blindness, it’s 12:30 in the Morning, I have scrolled through all your shorts, I only meant to watch a couple, it was 11:00 pm when I started watching
WHY IS THIS AN ACTUAL CONVERSATION I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TIMES
“But that isn’t until, omg it’s in ten minutes” got me, it’s so relatable
You just described my whole life
this is literally me but i haven’t been diagnosed so i’m not claiming anything lol but yeah i do this way too often it’s actually really annoying to me haha
You know, I never thought there was a way to describe that the main symptoms of ADHD in one video but no, you pretty much covered it
Have a box in which u drop keys etc . Keep a spare of EVERYTHING. MY walls r plastered with notes & reminders. You're not alone. Keep it up everyone!
Fair play, this is very well done!
I haven’t been diagnosed with ADHD and this is literally me every second of the day. XD
Wow thanks for all the likes this is the most likes and comments I’ve ever had on a comment xD
Maybe look into getting a diagnosis lol
@@rosepuppy1984 I agree but please do not self diagnose. It causes more harm then good.
@@unseasonedsalad which was why I said look into getting diagnosed
Me too
I literally have the issue that I am always 5 to 15 minutes late to nearly everything. All of these apply to me and if I ever have "free" time, my mind bounces around and cannot think of anything to focus on.
It is to the point that my boss basically diagnosed me of ADHD with everything but the name:
-hyper fixation of tasks.
-random bouncing between tasks
-no sense of importance of tasks
-inability to show up on time
-over talking due to a need to talk about a topic if it comes up
-many many more
It would be better if she said "i'm gonna go.... wait where am i going again?"
Your facial expressions crack me up. You have very expressive eyes. "Look my ring" lol had me 😂.
I nearly missed my bus this morning I got distracted all morning and realised I still needed to brush my teeth, clean my ears (piercing), do my makeup, put on shoes and do my skincare right when I realised it was too late to do any of those things 😅
I do everything, but for the first one, I don't forget important tasks, I set timers do I don't forget 😂 always way to early and never late😏
As a person with ADHD, I support this message
Me going all the way to the first vid realising i have been watching her this long❤😂
Most recent time this happened with an appointment - Wednesday...
THAT IS LITERALLY ME- Other than the losing track of time thing. I do lose track of time, but I have anxiety and I have a literal fear of being late so I'm always early lol
“yeah but thats not until- oh my god its in 10 minutes.” the most relatable sentence i think ive ever heard
THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE ACTUALLY REFERRED TO THE DSM-5
I remember in grade 3 being super hyperactive and thinking “oh this is normal, all kids are like this” but when I was in class I would constantly not be paying attention like I would be doodling or writing random things on my paper. When I was in 4th grade I was diagnosed with ADHD and i was really destructive so my friends were constantly making sure i didn’t get myself killed 💀 by high school I climbed on the roof of my house while my friends were over and my parents were out. They were screaming looking for me. So I wasn’t allowed alone when I was 14 :>
I'm scared that it's so accurate... I need to check it for sure tho-
Same, I can relate to some of their videos, but I don’t want to jump to conclusions yet!
Just because she has these symptoms doesn't mean you have ADHD, ADHD can be seen in many different ways, just because you have the symptoms doesn't mean you have it, but yea you should check for it.
@@abbyisyourcrush This is true. People often confuse the two.
For example, in families where ADHD is present, individual traits of ADHD tend to be more common than ADHD itself. Most people in a family typically won't have ADHD, but many will have traits of it, then you have a minority with ADHD.
ADHD is a polygenic disorder, meaning there are multiple and many genes involved, and each one contributes to individual traits differently. Hence, people can and often do have traits of ADHD without the disorder element.
Seriously tho my siblings used to hate me “interrupting” when I just blurted out an answer.
Have not been diagnosed with ADHD but the more I see videos like this the more I worry I have it because I have done all of these things within the past week
Your videos are so validating to watch being recently diagnosed with ADHD
Any time I've ever had to be anywhere! Usually it's hyper focus, or distracted with something random even getting hyper focused on getting ready for the thing, only to realize I'm already late.
All of this but the answering before a question is finished is HUGE for me. I ALWAYS assume what people are gunna say and cut them off and feel so bad bc whether I'm right or not I'm like I didn't mean to interrupt I just got excited/or I wanted to reassure I already knew the thing you had to say so you didn't have to say it😭😭😭 been trying to stop it but it is SO HARD
Watched your recent stye short, then all of your shorts from newest to oldest, and that’s why I’m commenting now…Love your humor and style!!!
This is me I don't think I have ADHD but I find this so relatable
What helps me with focus when I’m completing tasks at home and I don’t want to take medicine is I have something playing in the background. No music but I have a tv show that I’ve already watched so I don’t get too distracted. I take small breaks between what I’m doing. It typically takes me an hour just to do one chore but this really helps spread up the process! NOTE: This may not work with everyone!! Don’t stress out (try not to) if it doesn’t work right away! It takes time to get used to.
It really does help to give that part of your brain something to occupy it, without having to focus on it.
"yeah it's not until- oh my god it's in 10 minutes" holy moly-
Girl, this is too relatable
As someone with adhd I agree with these points and feel seen thank you it can be a struggle but I wouldn't change it cause it's apart of who I am even though I sometimes feel embarrassed about it
this is valid
Your first
⚠️REMINDER⚠️
~just because you have all of these symptoms doesn’t mean you automatically have ADHD~
And if you have none of them it doesn't mean you don't have ADHD, best to ask psychiatrists👍
I feel normal thanks to the ADHD shorts.
This is an accurate representation of someone with ADHD. This is where I would fall in since I have ADHD symptom
Number three hit me hard. I never understood why my former friend would talk to much and then I started talking so much and turns out we both have ADHD TvT
Now I struggle with interrupting like she did. Now I understand her. I feel bad for judging her so much.
Your friend started talking to much so then you started talking tok much. Your friend started interrupting so you started interrupting meaning these things only started after you met your friend lol.
@@yah-mums-best-friend No, that friend was from elementary school. My interruptions started quite a few years after we parted
I always find things when i am looking for something else.
Just watched all your shorts in one sitting. Yup, I've got it.
For me at least 1 and 2 could not be less accurate (my adhd probably affects me differently) because I ALWAYS have to know where everything is and I am CONSTANTLY worrying about being late to things and will usually leave 5 mins early lol
Me: does all these things all the time
My family: no way will we get you looked at by a doctor, you can't have ADHD!
My research and paranoia: *are you sure about that*
Update: I was diagnosed with adhd. I WAS RIGHT-
SAME
I do this, a lot. I have ADHD and I just want to say, it happened sooo much
Watching your videos almost every day is makinge question if i have adhd becouse i experience almost everything you say on a daily basis.
I just wached all your shorts and as someone who has ADHD they were really helpful😊
People with ADHD
👇
they all wanted to give you thumbs up but then got distra
Omg this 100% me and I haven’t been diagnosed with ADHD. 😂🤣😬
Love your infinity-heart! Positive poly representation ftw!
For ADHD I have found the:ULTIMATE NOTEBOOK. It’s a white board.
-You can make lists on it
-You can make a calendar on it
-You can’t forget about it since everytime you pass by it you’ll remember
-You can use it for infinity
-You can make it aesthetic so it’s more motivating
-The possibilities are endless
It’s possible I have ADHD
this is me 😅🙃😭
but i dont have ADHD, just other stuff
(well, i mean the ADHD has never been ruled out, Im just counting it as so until I get more therapy to sort through my issues.)
I either talk too much/have random outbursts or barely talk at all, and there’s RARELY a happy medium unless I put all my energy towards it
It's scary how accurate this is
I have self diagnosed myself with ADHD
Yea... Don't self diagnose.
Don't :)
Yeah don’t self diagnose
i can explain my whole life story in 9 mins WITH detail but it takes me a hour and a half to be ready for ANYTHING
My psych gave me Wellbutrin and kind of brushed off the fact that brought adhd up to him. Said “don’t think too much into it” but still gave me the Wellbutrin to try and see if it makes a difference…but I swear everything points to adhd. It makes sense now too…when I don’t treat those symptoms it triggers my MDD and anxiety because then I start feeling awful.
This is a great Shorts. All is very recognisable. And I set timers too, so (too) early as well.
