I completely believe anyone who doesnt have 50 trains of thoughts, a few songs, and probably just as many quotes/memes/ other stuff going on in their head are crazy, or lying, or just really do not think. No offense to anyone who is nureotypical ofc lol. It just doesnt seem fathomable. But my state of mind probably seems weird to them so :/
For some reason, I have ADHD,and when he said something about snowing tomorrow,I started thinking if penguins have knees or not,and I missed the whole video.
Oh and then a kid comes when you are stressing and steals your fidget becuase they think it’s satisfying and they don’t understand that it is the only thing stopping you from a meltdown
same I got lost at the notebook thing and when it says does it snows tomorrow? I started thinking if I can make a gold portal in Minecraft and the igloo biome and I missed the thing
2 really hard things about having ADHD as an adult: 1. No one knowing I had this (including myself). Everyone constantly frustrated with me (especially me). 2. Leaning I have it, but fearing telling my job that the reason I seem to suck at some stuff involving executive functioning is a condition that will help them conclude I'll never get better.
I totally understand. That's a hard situation. I had some educational courses get tanked because the admin of the program essentially didn't want to work with me/provide appropriate accommodations. I'm still of the opinion that they, of anyone, should've been quick to understand. Personally, I'd hang on to the job, but if it's not a positive environment, then I'd be quietly looking for better. 🍀
@@samc5602 I feel that 😫 You’re not alone. It affects so many aspects of our lives, but it’s so misunderstood by the general population and some people think it doesn’t even exist. It’s so hard to explain executive dysfunction to someone who’s never experienced it. I always tell people about an experiment where researchers removed rats ability to produce dopamine. The rats experienced pleasure when food was placed in their mouths but, when food was placed just a sort distance away, they would starve to death, unable to find the motivation to walk over to the food. It’s the only way I’ve found to get the point across to someone who keeps repeating things like “no one wants to work, but we just do it.” They finally start to realize that they’re really lucky to have brains that produce chemicals correctly.
I think we are, and they can't deal so they force us to be like them 😑 making us feel inadequate because we can't confirm to the so called nuro typical society.. I think we need our own country or something 🙄😅
@@Fluffy-777 Well I agree that we are different and have different needs, we don’t need our own country just for society to become more accepting of us.
Why can't they learn how to function more like people with ADHD? We think more creatively and actively, and see more abstract structures to situations that "the normies" can't.
I'm watching this... at 1:45 am when I should be asleep... and I'm tearing up because... well done. That demonstration with the locker. I felt that. That hit home. It's not just frustration that you're struggling, it's the feeling that you're letting everyone around you down. Everybody else has this under control. Why don't you.
Not this video, but I had watched other videos about dealing with adhd as an adult and teared up too when I realized that not everyone dealt with this.
I have ADHD (diagnosed when I was 10) and it’s definitely more than not sitting still. It’s a challenge to do something as simple as putting on ur shoes! Everything is a struggle and people are not always understanding about it.
The only problem with adhd is that people think we have to conform to their way of thinking. We’re brilliant and able to connect concepts others don’t. We think 4x faster than “normies”. Also that’s not a mess, it’s organized chaos and we know exactly where everything is.
EXACTLY. I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THIS. PEOPLE WITH ADHD WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THE LOCKER THING IF IT WAS THEIR OWN LOCKER. THAT WAS SOMEONE ELSES LOCKER. HUFF. I HUFF AND I PUFF
Sorry, but that's utter nonsense, and you are trivialising a serious mental health disorder. The forgetfulness, the racing thoughts, the inability to stay focused on tasks, the emotional dysregulation and the impulsiveness are all serious impairments. So, how on earth do you go about saying ADHD isn't a 'problem?' ...And actually I don't "know exactly where everything is!" And if you're life is really that "brilliant" then you obviously don't have ADHD!
I was just recently diagnosed with adult ADHD. I’d previously always waved off ADHD as no big deal, just an excuse for people to behave poorly. Simultaneously, I just believed that my struggles through life were just because I was a loser, a bad person. I always joked that my brain was like an old radio being dialed back and forth wildly. Mariachi, then Jesus radio, then pop music, classical, talk radio, back to the classical, now the BBC, so on and so on. And sense of direction? Forget it. I’d not only forget where I was going, I’d forget that I was even going somewhere period. I’d just wander. My spacial awareness was off too. I literally ran into the side of doors, catching my sleeves on doorknobs. Behavioral therapy has since changed my life. I may still be a loser, but I can accomplish more now🤣. I’m still very ADHD, and that’s okay. I’m learning how to navigate life a little more successfully.
I was kind of triggered at first but you gotta realize that he's not making a generic statement or stereotyping, but referring to the parts of the brain that function better in a neurotypical brain. Since he isn't giving conjecture and he is speaking as a person with scientific credibility, it is completely reasonable to say that for him in this context. Word choice could've been more careful, though
I have ADHD predominantly inattentive and we are not normal. We have an issue with our brain. When he said "Like the rest of us" it was in no way implying that we are of less value or not capable. I cannot stand when people get "triggered" because life will not conform to your egocentric belief that certain words and phrases are not okay. There will always be words that will become offensive because people choose to take it the wrong way or assholes using it to talk down to a group of people. As far as I am concerned in order to think you have to risk being offensive. Anything can be interpreted in an offensive manner. I am assuming you live in the United States like myself if so that is the reason we have freedom of speech. You can say anything to always be able to voice your opinion no matter how unpopular it is. You have people who hate the government and want to change it that can speak out. You have preachers. You have Liberals, conservatives, socialists and libertarian that can all voice their opinion. With free speech comes assholes who are racists, bigots, holocaust deniers, and whatnot. Without unpopular voices we may have just been a world full of social darwinist beliefs. Look at Africa. Just recently historically speaking we have stopped the disgusting treatment there. Europe had claimed Africa to be full of savages and they made it "civilized". Don't get offended because he was obviously trying not to be. He is spreading awareness.
@@SorenHigh lolol So you get triggered and rant when someone else gets triggered about other shit. Let him enjoy his free speech also if you're so righteous toward that. Considering the amount of people in the comment section saying the same thing, maybe it wasn't as obvious as you thought it was, and as you said, it's okay for them to voice that if they felt that way. So you don't get offended by other people getting offended by other stuff and try to suppress their voice. Speaking of egocentric... :D You're right though, you definitely have an issue with your brain, but it's hardly because of inattentive ADD.
This kid doesn’t even have ADHD and they think that she will feel like she has ADHD, she’s literally just experiencing stress someone with ADHD the best way that I can describe this is that other people in there mind are taking in information like a door opening and closing and only taking in information that is important, but someone who has ADHD that door is always open and they cannot stop thinking and like he said can’t figure out what is more important then other tasks. But my favorite way to describe ADHD is that we are “Ferrari’s with bicycle brakes”. But all that I’m saying is that don’t start to tell someone what ADHD is like unless you have it.
I am a mom of three, and homeschool....I have adhd, and one of my kids have adhd... I found that having two things to focus on is WAY easier for us to be focusing on one physical task...i.e: listening to a podcast with my headphones in while cleaning the kitchen etc etc. If I don't have something to focus on in my ear, my mind with wonder off and find ten other tasks that need to be done, hence finding myself out in my car looking for something then cleaning out my trunk...just for an example
I completely relate to what you’re saying here! Sometimes certain tasks just feel like too much, like cleaning! But if I listen to a podcast while I clean, I’m able to vibe and get it done efficiently. Totally get you!!
Damn this actually true bc my mom says im not trying and that I need to but I'm trying emecley hard to remember thing so I can relate after a couple pediatricians saying I have ADHD
Yeah, I hate that. :/ Told you're not trying or that you don't care, but you actually do care and can't help what's going on. Even worse is when you say you don't know why you do it, and you really don't, but they don't believe you.
I understand... my mom is aware that i have adhd. I was diagnosed with it at 5 and she still thinks im not trying. You would think she knows why. Its just really hard to focus in school.
I have adhd and he did explain it really well but there’s it gives a lot of anxiety from part of it because the teachers don’t realize that the kids who have it need to be asked questions slowly
This makes me cry because this is my life when I was younger I still struggle but I am finally get back on meds and I can’t wait to stop feeling like im insane
I felt this 😕 I'm now 19 and just yesterday I took my first 30mg Aderall. First time I was able to sit still for more than a minute. No joke broke into tears. It's hard being abnormal when all you want to be is normal.
and my brain normally thinks faster about so many things that it made me cry when I was diagnosed and given medication that when I took it for the first time I cried wishing I had gotten diagnosed earlier and given proper help. Growing up with adhd is hard and personally for me I felt awful for feeling like everyone around me understanding lessons in school when I was being taught the same way and never feeling smart enough or good enough with the simplest tasks. Thats why now working at a school I do my best to encourage my adhd students that they are SMART and very IMPORTANT in this world. I love to see our student's smile and something as simple as "thank you and I love you teacher" with a big hug makes my day.
after trying to remember the tasks and the questions, I literally walked away from this video with only the word SNOW repeating in my head over and over again.
On the 5 minute walk from the bus to home I planned around 10 things to do at home, 5 things to google all while trying to concentrate on the lyrics to the song I’m listening to while singing a different song in my head. I ended up doing nothing when I came home and I repeated the song 8 times
Today I had a meeting with my mom and school counselor and my mom was talking about how I might need more help since I have adhd THEN SHE STARTED TALKING ABOUT HOW I JUST NEED TO TRY HARDER I was just like 😐😐😐
*fruit tart* You brain reacts faster than your body so you know what your about to do. But the good thing is your can balance your brain which can be very helpful for people
Hey here’s some fun things I found about adhd, You learn to be a wonderful multitasker! After learning you’re strengths and weaknesses in daily life, you start to pick up behaviors to properly maintain your schedule. One of those things is multitasking. So after a while, it becomes one of your strong points.
I'm 35 and tonight I said .. yes I am different I've been different my whole life Trying to be normal So many doctors tried to make me normal but I was never meant to be normal We are meant to be different And we are meant to love ourselves because we are different
I hate it when I get in trouble in school for not paying attention, even with Ritalin it's extremely hard for me, and it pisses me off when teachers think I don't pay attention for no reason
My ADHD brain got me in trouble a lot as a younger person. Stay strong. You will encounter at look east one teacher who truly understands and then you will shine
Yea and my teacher would always be on the phone and talking laughing and all and she let's the other teachers in and if the other people talk she says don't talk ur interrupting and all and I'm like shut the fuck up lol She's loud really she talks so much I wonder how I'm bad at math anyways well at least I'm not with the other teacher that would scream at me for going behind while she reads the tests to 2 people in her room for a science test and that was hard a little and the girl beside me was paying stanchion all the time on each reading parts and u know she goes fast and got a bad grade ligit I was so upset that I numbered the seconds it took for her to say are y'all done on this problem and here it is like 12 seconds or so for her to say that I'm always like and the student beside me says I am and I say im not and when she finally has it all on her plate she says ok haley uve been on this subjects for like a hole minute and she says things like if u don't hurry up we will leave u behind and I said ok and still doing the work #reading and thinking out of the boxes and marking X beside the ones I thought were wrong and She's blabbing on of how much time "were" losing because of me and there looking at me like I'm doing the wrong ones here and I'm just looking at my paper at this point and tears trying to get sucked back in will I sweat and been red for minutes and thinking and trying to cottiontraite and all and y'all can Guess what happeneds after these messeses that I know u don't want to read all of this lol don't u *pokes nose* (with)lol
Please don't self diagnosed it's not okay cause there's so much more to adhd just getting pissed at this video means nothing the rapid fire commands are what people what adhd thoughts are like your brain is always on overload with thoughts to the point you have no idea what's going on
@@lamedays8076 I get that, but they said "I think I have ADHD" not "I have undiagnosed ADHD" This video pissed me off too and I was diagnosed professionally at age 6.
I think I have adhd and I appreciate this video because it helps ppl who don’t understand what it’s like in our head. And we can better assist those in need.
I've seen a lot of kids say they're afraid to tell their parents they think they have adhd. As a parent I'd be happy to hear a child out. School often told me "X didn't pay attention, is easily distracted" then would go on to tell me "all kids are like this". Having no other experience I took their word for it. I wish I hadn't. I wish I'd done something sooner. Kids naturally find other people easier to talk to at times, so either find someone your comfortable with, or just try to be brave, find a time when your parents arent distracted or overly busy and just say "hey, there's something I really need to talk to you about. It's taken a lot of courage for me to do this so please hear me out. I'm concerned I may have adhd because..." and most of all let them know if you're struggling (which you likely are). Might feel hard but give it a try, don't let it go if you really feel something isn't right. Good luck 🤞
What a powerful segment from a semi-local news source! The comments section reveals the significant and chronic trauma that ADHD, ADS, Dyslexia, Tourette's, etc. experience in a society that portrays "normalcy" as our highest (safest is more accurate) purpose. Fitting in in a sick culture is a recipe for a life of banality with elusive and fleeting exceptions.
Giving a child ADHD medication does help but I've noticed being 13 I haven't taken any Medication for a year and I've noticed if you take the medicine for a week you act normal and are more sad,and like to be alone,and with sertin ones give a zombie like aditude
Add sucks ass, had it since I was 7 meda until I was 15 stopped meds and self medicated with alcohol and all that did was make me not care. 32 bow Got married and stopped alcohol but now I'm in frustration 24/7 as I'm trying to force myself to be normal I forget everything, the wife tells me something and I walk out to get it and come back with something completely different, I say things I do not mean but I don't think and I will be yelling at her but thinking about when my tomato plant will give tomatoes and forget why I'm fighting about always late for work always late for functions, always figeting always thinking about something and not thinking about what I'm doing. Or I think so much that it's all just a blur of noise in my head. It sucks I hate is so much that sometimes I feel like suicide. But I'm seeking my meda again just to save my marriage as my wife left me because I said something so bad that did I did not mean. Life is shit and people who use this crap disorder for attention can fuck right off.
So basically what he simulates in the second half is letting a kid play in the woods; climbing is the balancing, vision impaired because of sun and branches/leaves, even the vibration on the arm is akin to wind or rain hitting skin.
I think I have ADHD but I never seek professionals nor get tested because no money and I have the symptoms too, so I don't know if I have ADHD officially just have the symptoms..What do I do?
i dont like when people say, ''she is ADHD or ADD'....she isnt a condition; she HAS the condition....so she has ADHD....that kind of talk teaches kids they are the whole condition whereas they are not the problem, they have a problem.... would he say, ''she is cancer'?
You mean kids that don’t act like perfect girl students. Shout out to the teacher and doctors who put me in the hospital three separate times with a temperature of 105 while have hallucinations from 1st to 3rd grade being on an adult Adderall. After being taken off the medication I started thriving in school and was a perfectly normal kid and back enrolled in normal classes from 4th grade and on. I do have ADHD but I’ve learned to manage it and use it to my advantage. You’re child is high strung and has a good blood line. Just needs a little discipline with physical activity to calm us down. Never isolate your child for long period of time for punishment and always teach them how to work through life’s stressful moments in the moment and they will be just fine 👍🏻
here’s the thing. the ADHD brain requires structure. They need a system that functions correctly or they need isolation from a broken system. for example: in society we ARE messy and dysfunctional. the ADHD mind is frustrated that does not make sense. as developing children the first thing they learn by adults is to leave things alone and ignore it. When the ADHD mind addresses those issues, it depends if they feel overwhelmed or not. they also feel the correct level of empathy. Meaning, they will get upset (cry etc) if someone has an early death. While the rest of society morns for 5 days and slightly for weeks. The ADHD mind morns for years, which is actually a healthy brain to do. They also have good memory. Specially for traumatic events. What they do NOT like is gaslighting. ADHD mind is social creatures so if someone in a group or the entire group states it was this event and not the one they remember, then there is internal conflict and high anxiety. ADHD minds have been stabilized with the following: at-pace education and thorough structuring. there is also recordings everywhere so it’s not he said she said perspectives. we only deal with facts. also, ADHD absolutely requires exercise. there is nothing wrong with ADHD individuals. It’s their genetics. They belong to a professional labor working class stemming back maybe thousands of years. They need mentally challenging and physically challenging environments. That’s how society was able to function prior to technology. technology today tends to separate the two. labor only and mental professionals only. so for example, an ADHD mind can work physical labor at the paper mill. They will also do chemical quality control measurements and testing. boom, it works. the individual is happy. But give them only labor and they will have a mental breakdown. ADHD minds must be raised in structured and sensible environments. You need to build them up to either use their super power. They also need to learn when and how to relax.
I have ADHD and I'm perfectly fine and I get all A (sarcasm) I have adhd and I only get C and A and my grades are shit and only thing I'm gud at is finding ways to make a shit ton of money but school isn't my thing and I'm only 14 freshmen
I havent been diagnosed cuz i never went for a test, but i think i have adhd, cuz i hate to wait,i want to finish things very fast otherwise everything is ruined, i cant sometimes focus when someone is talking for like an hour,my thoughs flies somewhere,idk where? I just getLost somewhere, plz tell me am i havin ADHD? I cant stand slow ppl, i must finish others sentence
This is a very realistic portrayal of what it's like to be neurodivergent; a bunch of people around you talk about how your differences are "bad" and "require fixing" without considering how to utilize the differences in a way that's beneficial to everyone without being ableist jerks. And yet, to repeat so many folks in the comments, it's unrealistic because there's no bullying or belittling from the child's peers or instructor. She was never punished for not achieving her tasks, and you can't really call it a neurodivergent childhood if you weren't penalized for your differences.
What even is this?! "Shape up their brain so they can function like the rest of us"? "Immature brains"? You can fix ADHD in 12 weeks?? What a condescending, duplicitous mess this is. Nothing about us without us
That or they'll be super annoyed of all the millions of things that occur in our heads every waking second of our lives. That plus our favorite current song of the week on 24/7 repeat.
Unless they have ADHD too. But then they would probably get thinking about something you were thinking about and totally forget to think about what you are thinking about.
Well said, I'm 45 and have been struggling with that dynamic for as long as I can remember. I love how you were able to describe and verbalize the struggle. I do "normal" on my own terms. Over time, I have been able to ignore and completely disconnect from the scrutiny, advice, critique, undermining, of all the know it all, "normal" people I surround myself with. There are many roads leading to the same destination.👍
I have ADHD and I'm always late, I get distracted or I misjudge the time something will take and how much time I have left or how many margins I need. Normally, I try not to plan any deadline-appointments in the first place, so I never get in trouble that way, but depending on the day, the people, the situation, it can still end badly. I've had a craftsteacher punish me for being late, by giving me the dirtiest chair, the broken paintbrush, no biscuit at teabreak and no proper waterglass for the paint. She kept repeating to everyone (first time I followed the workshop, so this was my introduction) "Now now girls, let's not feel bad for her, she put this on herself, by being late, this is her punishment." At the end of the workshop, I politely informed her that I was not going to return. She was confused and asked why. I answered; Because I am 22 and I paid for an artclass, not to be humiliated in front of peers." My intention had been to make friends there, well, that went out of the window. People have driven off for a picknick without me in the car, because I was one minute late and they wanted to teach me a lesson. Literally walked over to the car, but as soon as it went "14:06" they screamed: "its been 5 past 2, you're too late!" And drove off. We'd planned that picknick for a month, it was ridiculous. And they say there's something wrong with me...
I love how a girl without ADHD is getting so much praise for “attempting to demonstrate” what it’s like. She’s literally not doing anything exceptional and yet she’s getting so much encouragement, and yet children and adults who actually suffer with this every single day get ripped to shreds for struggling.
F**KING BINGO, DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm 21, and I was diagnosed with sever Combined-Type ADHD when I was 6, and was put on medication when I was 8 or 9. Let's just say that doing my research for a recent Psychology project made me realize that nearly everything I've struggled with and gotten punished/grounded/yelled at for isn't my fault and never has been!!! Yet my parents think I'm supposed to be 100% responsible for my decisions and constant screw-ups; And I can't tell them that 95. 5% of the time, it's not ME, it's my ADHD, because they're always like, "Stop using your disorder as an excuse," Right. Because I like to hyperfixate on the wrong thing at the wrong time, or procrastinate on a boring assignment that's due in two weeks, or always have people hovering over me, reminding me exasperatedly to do this, or not do that, etc., etc.
Right!! The shit I got all my life for not being able to carry out tasks the same as my peers is so frustrating. At the time I wasn’t diagnosed but there was clearly something wrong that nobody addressed. Just told me to “manage your time,” “just get it done,” “focus,” “how could you forget (xyz),” etc. As accurate as the locker demo was, I can’t understand why they couldn’t have a kid with adhd to do it,, or just,, idk have someone with adhd there to make the way they spoke about us here less “othered(?)”
ikr??? I get they're trying to understand us, but your gonna have a person without adhd... demonstrate what adhd is like... how does that make sense? they'd rather have a child attempt to mimic us than actually getting a kid with adhd on there. instead of listening to adhd voices they do this
this is actually a good example. Teachers used to say things like "go down stair, use this key, go to the door near the stare case then get a specific kind of paper and bring it to sertain room because sertain person needs it" I'd just repeat every step in my head but I would constantly doubt if I got it right and I would forget things too. it was realy frustrating.
Its like someone explaining to me where the toilet is. Halfway through I am lost and u either follow me and show me or I will just wander off until I find it
@@hehe.25 I never know the difference. I have to think about what hand i write with, then my reaction is slow cus im just always trying to process what someone is saying. So if under pressure, I will not remember what to do and just walk in different directions until it's the right one. But the bigger wonder here, out of all those years of lack of focus and so on, I AM STILL NOT DIAGNOSED. I don't understand how someone never went like hey, they might have adhd. I'm guessing it's cus where I am adhd is like the hyperactive trouble child.
i always told the teacher i had issues with long strings of instructions and asked them to write it down so i didnt mess up. i didnt know it was an adhd thing until last euar
Seriously as soon as he started asking those questions I forgot what the second thing he asked her to do was. Take something out and put it in something else is all I remember.
@@greenshrek488 Yes, and that is because the ADHD parent will be inclined to fire additional instructions at them ad they come to mind, because of (legit) fear that they will not be able to hold yet another thought simultaneously to overseeing the kid (+n other items also already pending and/or popping up in the in- and outside). Which quickly ecsalates. Any time. Either way.
I thought the young girl had ADHD, and up until the guy said she didn't have it I was impressed/amazed at how she managed to stand so still while the others were talking. All became clear.
My heart just starts beating really fast when there is too much going on like I'm trying to do an assignment but everyone is talking and playing music on their phones and it makes me stressed, makes me feel like I'm having a heart attack, and makes me want to scream out loud
i feel you my dude when i get hyperactive my adrenaline starts pumping and when it’s really bad it makes my chest feel fuzzy so i cant tell of i’m excited or nervous
my guy was just like Are you okay? Are you doing anything? Are you out of school? How do you not get distracted by that, what are you supposed to do, just not answer?
This makes it sound like ADHD is only a condition that affects some children and that they can grow out of it. However, we know that ADHD persists into adulthood in most people with the impairment.
@@acetronaut Oh, why not? Are you another snowflake who can't stand the truth? What is it with this weak society that wants to prevent us from calling things as they are? Don't call g*nder dysphoria a 'disorder,' don't call adhd an 'impairment!' Do me favor! You think it's a blessing? 🤷🏼
Before I was diagnosed with ADHD I thought it was normal for you brain to have alot of thoughts/sounds/music happening
Its not...that explains a lot
I completely believe anyone who doesnt have 50 trains of thoughts, a few songs, and probably just as many quotes/memes/ other stuff going on in their head are crazy, or lying, or just really do not think. No offense to anyone who is nureotypical ofc lol. It just doesnt seem fathomable. But my state of mind probably seems weird to them so :/
100 is quite an exaggeration
@@guitarcovers3518 Yes it is, but it still happens-

For some reason, I have ADHD,and when he said something about snowing tomorrow,I started thinking if penguins have knees or not,and I missed the whole video.

An overly patriotic idiot Damn it..
An overly patriotic idiot but do penguins have knees
penguins do have knees
PRO-NEGE this happens to me every day lol it’s very very frustrating
This man lost me after green pen and 3 pieces of gum. I was genuinely becoming irritated simply thinking about being put in that situation.
Blah Blah IKR.
thats my mind + people around me talking + my social setting.its so hard. i hate it. if i could change anything about myself, it would be the adhd
When did he say gum? All I heard was snow pen and hello kitty 🙂
Oh and then a kid comes when you are stressing and steals your fidget becuase they think it’s satisfying and they don’t understand that it is the only thing stopping you from a meltdown
same I got lost at the notebook thing and when it says does it snows tomorrow? I started thinking if I can make a gold portal in Minecraft and the igloo biome and I missed the thing
They left out the part where they start scolding her for not trying hard enough.
Your username is gold

dude, straight up.
Yes
"You're so smart when you try!!"
2 really hard things about having ADHD as an adult:
1. No one knowing I had this (including myself). Everyone constantly frustrated with me (especially me).
2. Leaning I have it, but fearing telling my job that the reason I seem to suck at some stuff involving executive functioning is a condition that will help them conclude I'll never get better.
The ever-present fear and stress of being fired when you screw up (not if) is real.
I totally understand. That's a hard situation. I had some educational courses get tanked because the admin of the program essentially didn't want to work with me/provide appropriate accommodations. I'm still of the opinion that they, of anyone, should've been quick to understand.
Personally, I'd hang on to the job, but if it's not a positive environment, then I'd be quietly looking for better. 🍀
They forgot the part where they yelled at her to “just focus more”
Totally.
This has happened to me so many times. I have ADHD
It's embarrassing to explain my ADHD because I know the person thinks I'm making excuses
Yeah or “JUST TRY HARDER!”
@@samc5602 I feel that 😫 You’re not alone. It affects so many aspects of our lives, but it’s so misunderstood by the general population and some people think it doesn’t even exist.
It’s so hard to explain executive dysfunction to someone who’s never experienced it.
I always tell people about an experiment where researchers removed rats ability to produce dopamine. The rats experienced pleasure when food was placed in their mouths but, when food was placed just a sort distance away, they would starve to death, unable to find the motivation to walk over to the food.
It’s the only way I’ve found to get the point across to someone who keeps repeating things like “no one wants to work, but we just do it.” They finally start to realize that they’re really lucky to have brains that produce chemicals correctly.
3:22 “Like the rest of us” he makes it sound like we’re a sub-species of human

I think we are, and they can't deal so they force us to be like them 😑 making us feel inadequate because we can't confirm to the so called nuro typical society.. I think we need our own country or something 🙄😅
@@Fluffy-777 Well I agree that we are different and have different needs, we don’t need our own country just for society to become more accepting of us.
Why can't they learn how to function more like people with ADHD? We think more creatively and actively, and see more abstract structures to situations that "the normies" can't.
@@zestysupreme9482 for the same exact reason we can't just "learn" to be more neurotypical
I'm watching this... at 1:45 am when I should be asleep... and I'm tearing up because... well done. That demonstration with the locker. I felt that. That hit home. It's not just frustration that you're struggling, it's the feeling that you're letting everyone around you down. Everybody else has this under control. Why don't you.
Not this video, but I had watched other videos about dealing with adhd as an adult and teared up too when I realized that not everyone dealt with this.
There are so many things that people don’t know about having ADHD. There are a lot more difficulties beyond not sitting still.
Yes i totely agree
I have ADHD (diagnosed when I was 10) and it’s definitely more than not sitting still. It’s a challenge to do something as simple as putting on ur shoes! Everything is a struggle and people are not always understanding about it.
I've been reading the comments and skipped about 20% of the video...

Lol that’s me as it plays in the background 🤣🤣🤣

anyone else offended by the way he refers to ADHD people, like i cant help but feel like hes belittleing everyone with ADHD . just my opinion
I get that vibe from him too, I have adhd and it just seems like he doesn't actually understand that's it's not just simply a lack of focus...
Me
It's just your imagination.
If he looked down on people with ADHD then he wouldn't work with ADHD patients.
That repeated Immature brain comment was agitating me

"Immature" in this case just means "not fully developed".

Balistic I'm literally do my French lesson while watching this
That's how you know you have ADD my friend. I forgot I was watching a video and thought of a song. :)
The only problem with adhd is that people think we have to conform to their way of thinking. We’re brilliant and able to connect concepts others don’t. We think 4x faster than “normies”. Also that’s not a mess, it’s organized chaos and we know exactly where everything is.
EXACTLY. I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THIS. PEOPLE WITH ADHD WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THE LOCKER THING IF IT WAS THEIR OWN LOCKER. THAT WAS SOMEONE ELSES LOCKER. HUFF. I HUFF AND I PUFF
being normal sounds boring af, i cant imagine NOT thinking at 1000 mph that sounds so boring thinking normally
Sorry, but that's utter nonsense, and you are trivialising a serious mental health disorder. The forgetfulness, the racing thoughts, the inability to stay focused on tasks, the emotional dysregulation and the impulsiveness are all serious impairments. So, how on earth do you go about saying ADHD isn't a 'problem?'
...And actually I don't "know exactly where everything is!" And if you're life is really that "brilliant" then you obviously don't have ADHD!
@@Zak-gl4ig i bet u dont have it
@@xX_wiLLiam_Xx Go find some other 'fashion trend' to boast about, you clown!
I was just recently diagnosed with adult ADHD. I’d previously always waved off ADHD as no big deal, just an excuse for people to behave poorly. Simultaneously, I just believed that my struggles through life were just because I was a loser, a bad person.
I always joked that my brain was like an old radio being dialed back and forth wildly. Mariachi, then Jesus radio, then pop music, classical, talk radio, back to the classical, now the BBC, so on and so on.
And sense of direction? Forget it. I’d not only forget where I was going, I’d forget that I was even going somewhere period. I’d just wander. My spacial awareness was off too. I literally ran into the side of doors, catching my sleeves on doorknobs.
Behavioral therapy has since changed my life. I may still be a loser, but I can accomplish more now🤣. I’m still very ADHD, and that’s okay. I’m learning how to navigate life a little more successfully.
What do they teach you in behavior therapy? Like the main things if you can remember.
0:59 kinda triggers me when he says the "rest of us"
*TRIGGERED*
I was kind of triggered at first but you gotta realize that he's not making a generic statement or stereotyping, but referring to the parts of the brain that function better in a neurotypical brain. Since he isn't giving conjecture and he is speaking as a person with scientific credibility, it is completely reasonable to say that for him in this context. Word choice could've been more careful, though
I have ADHD predominantly inattentive and we are not normal. We have an issue with our brain. When he said "Like the rest of us" it was in no way implying that we are of less value or not capable. I cannot stand when people get "triggered" because life will not conform to your egocentric belief that certain words and phrases are not okay. There will always be words that will become offensive because people choose to take it the wrong way or assholes using it to talk down to a group of people. As far as I am concerned in order to think you have to risk being offensive. Anything can be interpreted in an offensive manner. I am assuming you live in the United States like myself if so that is the reason we have freedom of speech. You can say anything to always be able to voice your opinion no matter how unpopular it is. You have people who hate the government and want to change it that can speak out. You have preachers. You have Liberals, conservatives, socialists and libertarian that can all voice their opinion. With free speech comes assholes who are racists, bigots, holocaust deniers, and whatnot. Without unpopular voices we may have just been a world full of social darwinist beliefs. Look at Africa. Just recently historically speaking we have stopped the disgusting treatment there. Europe had claimed Africa to be full of savages and they made it "civilized". Don't get offended because he was obviously trying not to be. He is spreading awareness.
@@SorenHigh lolol So you get triggered and rant when someone else gets triggered about other shit. Let him enjoy his free speech also if you're so righteous toward that. Considering the amount of people in the comment section saying the same thing, maybe it wasn't as obvious as you thought it was, and as you said, it's okay for them to voice that if they felt that way. So you don't get offended by other people getting offended by other stuff and try to suppress their voice. Speaking of egocentric... :D You're right though, you definitely have an issue with your brain, but it's hardly because of inattentive ADD.

HAHAHAHA 😂
Funniest thing i heard all day
This kid doesn’t even have ADHD and they think that she will feel like she has ADHD, she’s literally just experiencing stress someone with ADHD the best way that I can describe this is that other people in there mind are taking in information like a door opening and closing and only taking in information that is important, but someone who has ADHD that door is always open and they cannot stop thinking and like he said can’t figure out what is more important then other tasks. But my favorite way to describe ADHD is that we are “Ferrari’s with bicycle brakes”. But all that I’m saying is that don’t start to tell someone what ADHD is like unless you have it.
Have they made one so we can look into the mind of a neurotypical person to see what’s it’s like and stuff?
I am a mom of three, and homeschool....I have adhd, and one of my kids have adhd...
I found that having two things to focus on is WAY easier for us to be focusing on one physical task...i.e: listening to a podcast with my headphones in while cleaning the kitchen etc etc. If I don't have something to focus on in my ear, my mind with wonder off and find ten other tasks that need to be done, hence finding myself out in my car looking for something then cleaning out my trunk...just for an example
I completely relate to what you’re saying here! Sometimes certain tasks just feel like too much, like cleaning! But if I listen to a podcast while I clean, I’m able to vibe and get it done efficiently. Totally get you!!
Damn this actually true bc my mom says im not trying and that I need to but I'm trying emecley hard to remember thing so I can relate after a couple pediatricians saying I have ADHD
Yeah, I hate that. :/ Told you're not trying or that you don't care, but you actually do care and can't help what's going on. Even worse is when you say you don't know why you do it, and you really don't, but they don't believe you.
I understand... my mom is aware that i have adhd. I was diagnosed with it at 5 and she still thinks im not trying. You would think she knows why. Its just really hard to focus in school.
I have adhd and he did explain it really well but there’s it gives a lot of anxiety from part of it because the teachers don’t realize that the kids who have it need to be asked questions slowly
This makes me cry because this is my life when I was younger I still struggle but I am finally get back on meds and I can’t wait to stop feeling like im insane
I felt this 😕 I'm now 19 and just yesterday I took my first 30mg Aderall. First time I was able to sit still for more than a minute. No joke broke into tears. It's hard being abnormal when all you want to be is normal.
and my brain normally thinks faster about so many things that it made me cry when I was diagnosed and given medication that when I took it for the first time I cried wishing I had gotten diagnosed earlier and given proper help. Growing up with adhd is hard and personally for me I felt awful for feeling like everyone around me understanding lessons in school when I was being taught the same way and never feeling smart enough or good enough with the simplest tasks. Thats why now working at a school I do my best to encourage my adhd students that they are SMART and very IMPORTANT in this world. I love to see our student's smile and something as simple as "thank you and I love you teacher" with a big hug makes my day.
after trying to remember the tasks and the questions, I literally walked away from this video with only the word SNOW repeating in my head over and over again.
Dean
Better than ding dong bell, kitties in the well, who put her in? Little Johnny Flynn, who pulled her out Little Tommy Scout..,,,,,,,,,,.
This is why adhd are the best rappers
On the 5 minute walk from the bus to home I planned around 10 things to do at home, 5 things to google all while trying to concentrate on the lyrics to the song I’m listening to while singing a different song in my head. I ended up doing nothing when I came home and I repeated the song 8 times
Today I had a meeting with my mom and school counselor and my mom was talking about how I might need more help since I have adhd THEN SHE STARTED TALKING ABOUT HOW I JUST NEED TO TRY HARDER I was just like 😐😐😐
Ah yes, focus a lil more. Proceeds to focus on focusing and just zone out cus ur thinking of that

Dude I was gonna write a comment and then I started thinking and now I cant remember what it was and now I missed the whole video.
What does it feel like not to have ADHD
*fruit tart* You brain reacts faster than your body so you know what your about to do. But the good thing is your can balance your brain which can be very helpful for people
I’m curious as well.
As far as I've heard, the brain is quiet for people without adhd.
I'm not diagnosed yet, but I think I have it. Too many things make sense now.
I can often get frustrated and have a feeling of being overwhelmed. But I like having ADHD. It means im different and I like being different.
I don't want to conform.
Hey here’s some fun things I found about adhd,
You learn to be a wonderful multitasker! After learning you’re strengths and weaknesses in daily life, you start to pick up behaviors to properly maintain your schedule. One of those things is multitasking. So after a while, it becomes one of your strong points.
I'm 35 and tonight I said .. yes I am different
I've been different my whole life
Trying to be normal
So many doctors tried to make me normal but
I was never meant to be normal
We are meant to be different
And we are meant to love ourselves because we are different
I hate it when I get in trouble in school for not paying attention, even with Ritalin it's extremely hard for me, and it pisses me off when teachers think I don't pay attention for no reason
Try to get off Ritalin my guy
TH-cam Hero I suggest talking to your doctor about changing your meds (such as focalin XR, depending on your age) or getting a higher dosage.
Papa Pickle I'm 12 (Dad's account) I was gonna say focalin too it helps a lot, Ritalin makes me kinda depressed.
My ADHD brain got me in trouble a lot as a younger person. Stay strong. You will encounter at look east one teacher who truly understands and then you will shine
Yea and my teacher would always be on the phone and talking laughing and all and she let's the other teachers in and if the other people talk she says don't talk ur interrupting and all and I'm like shut the fuck up lol She's loud really she talks so much I wonder how I'm bad at math anyways well at least I'm not with the other teacher that would scream at me for going behind while she reads the tests to 2 people in her room for a science test and that was hard a little and the girl beside me was paying stanchion all the time on each reading parts and u know she goes fast and got a bad grade ligit I was so upset that I numbered the seconds it took for her to say are y'all done on this problem and here it is like 12 seconds or so for her to say that I'm always like and the student beside me says I am and I say im not and when she finally has it all on her plate she says ok haley uve been on this subjects for like a hole minute and she says things like if u don't hurry up we will leave u behind and I said ok and still doing the work #reading and thinking out of the boxes and marking X beside the ones I thought were wrong and She's blabbing on of how much time "were" losing because of me and there looking at me like I'm doing the wrong ones here and I'm just looking at my paper at this point and tears trying to get sucked back in will I sweat and been red for minutes and thinking and trying to cottiontraite and all and y'all can Guess what happeneds after these messeses that I know u don't want to read all of this lol don't u *pokes nose* (with)lol
Am I the only one when I don't take my meds I can eat all day none stop and sleep but when I do I barely sleep and barley eat
I think I have ADHD and these made me pissed
I get it. No one wants to feel like a science experiment
Please don't self diagnosed it's not okay cause there's so much more to adhd just getting pissed at this video means nothing the rapid fire commands are what people what adhd thoughts are like your brain is always on overload with thoughts to the point you have no idea what's going on
@@lamedays8076 I get that, but they said "I think I have ADHD" not "I have undiagnosed ADHD"
This video pissed me off too and I was diagnosed professionally at age 6.
I think I have adhd and I appreciate this video because it helps ppl who don’t understand what it’s like in our head. And we can better assist those in need.
Wow... During the whole video, I was just ready the red line with the smaller news and I missed it all...
I've seen a lot of kids say they're afraid to tell their parents they think they have adhd.
As a parent I'd be happy to hear a child out.
School often told me "X didn't pay attention, is easily distracted" then would go on to tell me "all kids are like this". Having no other experience I took their word for it. I wish I hadn't. I wish I'd done something sooner.
Kids naturally find other people easier to talk to at times, so either find someone your comfortable with, or just try to be brave, find a time when your parents arent distracted or overly busy and just say "hey, there's something I really need to talk to you about. It's taken a lot of courage for me to do this so please hear me out. I'm concerned I may have adhd because..." and most of all let them know if you're struggling (which you likely are).
Might feel hard but give it a try, don't let it go if you really feel something isn't right. Good luck 🤞
What a powerful segment from a semi-local news source! The comments section reveals the significant and chronic trauma that ADHD, ADS, Dyslexia, Tourette's, etc. experience in a society that portrays "normalcy" as our highest (safest is more accurate) purpose. Fitting in in a sick culture is a recipe for a life of banality with elusive and fleeting exceptions.

Giving a child ADHD medication does help but I've noticed being 13 I haven't taken any Medication for a year and I've noticed if you take the medicine for a week you act normal and are more sad,and like to be alone,and with sertin ones give a zombie like aditude
I have ADHD but I don't have all of those questions running threw my mind but I do at the same time so I do a lot of multi tasking
This is actually a really good representation like very good
I have ADHD and as soon as he asked about the gum I completely forgot what she had to write
When she said “was is green or light green? aaarrrggghhhh….” I FELT THAT
Is it normal for a person to have a song/jingle playing in their mind all the time. Because I used to have that when I was a kid.
the thing that makes me the most mad is when people tell me im not trying with school
bro all I heard and remembered was “grab a green marker and write kitty in the notebook then- and THATS it
cute boots...
Music 4Fun the real ADHD is in the comments
Tryed to hard
Add sucks ass, had it since I was 7 meda until I was 15 stopped meds and self medicated with alcohol and all that did was make me not care. 32 bow Got married and stopped alcohol but now I'm in frustration 24/7 as I'm trying to force myself to be normal I forget everything, the wife tells me something and I walk out to get it and come back with something completely different, I say things I do not mean but I don't think and I will be yelling at her but thinking about when my tomato plant will give tomatoes and forget why I'm fighting about always late for work always late for functions, always figeting always thinking about something and not thinking about what I'm doing. Or I think so much that it's all just a blur of noise in my head. It sucks I hate is so much that sometimes I feel like suicide. But I'm seeking my meda again just to save my marriage as my wife left me because I said something so bad that did I did not mean. Life is shit and people who use this crap disorder for attention can fuck right off.
So basically what he simulates in the second half is letting a kid play in the woods; climbing is the balancing, vision impaired because of sun and branches/leaves, even the vibration on the arm is akin to wind or rain hitting skin.
The best thing invented for me, has been ear plugs when I need to really tuck into a task.
I think I have ADHD but I never seek professionals nor get tested because no money and I have the symptoms too, so I don't know if I have ADHD officially just have the symptoms..What do I do?
I by instinct repeated every direction he said so I could remember oofie
I have ADHD and autism
Not exaggerating, he was talking way too slow for this to be realistic to adhd. He underestimates my brain’s power to annoy the hell out of me.
i dont like when people say, ''she is ADHD or ADD'....she isnt a condition; she HAS the condition....so she has ADHD....that kind of talk teaches kids they are the whole condition whereas they are not the problem, they have a problem.... would he say, ''she is cancer'?

I wonder if i watched this long enough... would it help to cure my distractedness
Me with ADHD looking at the other videos in my recommended instead of watching the video
Nobody mentioned the mental abuse that adhd children suffer from teachers and family because what you do or try to do is never enough
I have ADD, and the quickness of this video is very nice :)
This, but the green pen isn't even in the locker because you put it down somewhere at home while distracted while trying to leave the house.
You guys saying it’s unfair is stupid because that’s what it’s like to have adhd and he’s demonstrating how hard it is to focus.
Is there anything like this in Australia??
Yes, ADHD exists in Australia too.
@@thesockstealeriscomingforyou i think they meant the show
Child is adorable..
I have adhd and a child well not an adult yet and I also forgot the instructions
One in ten? That's so much! Which country is that?
You mean kids that don’t act like perfect girl students. Shout out to the teacher and doctors who put me in the hospital three separate times with a temperature of 105 while have hallucinations from 1st to 3rd grade being on an adult Adderall. After being taken off the medication I started thriving in school and was a perfectly normal kid and back enrolled in normal classes from 4th grade and on. I do have ADHD but I’ve learned to manage it and use it to my advantage. You’re child is high strung and has a good blood line. Just needs a little discipline with physical activity to calm us down. Never isolate your child for long period of time for punishment and always teach them how to work through life’s stressful moments in the moment and they will be just fine 👍🏻
This is 100% accurate.
Abcd78? I though of that while reading the words in the red line at the bottom of the screen.
10% includes a ton of over-diagnosis in children and paradoxically there's a severe underdiagnosis in adults
here’s the thing. the ADHD brain requires structure. They need a system that functions correctly or they need isolation from a broken system.
for example: in society we ARE messy and dysfunctional. the ADHD mind is frustrated that does not make sense. as developing children the first thing they learn by adults is to leave things alone and ignore it.
When the ADHD mind addresses those issues, it depends if they feel overwhelmed or not.
they also feel the correct level of empathy. Meaning, they will get upset (cry etc) if someone has an early death. While the rest of society morns for 5 days and slightly for weeks. The ADHD mind morns for years, which is actually a healthy brain to do.
They also have good memory. Specially for traumatic events. What they do NOT like is gaslighting. ADHD mind is social creatures so if someone in a group or the entire group states it was this event and not the one they remember, then there is internal conflict and high anxiety.
ADHD minds have been stabilized with the following: at-pace education and thorough structuring.
there is also recordings everywhere so it’s not he said she said perspectives. we only deal with facts.
also, ADHD absolutely requires exercise.
there is nothing wrong with ADHD individuals. It’s their genetics. They belong to a professional labor working class stemming back maybe thousands of years.
They need mentally challenging and physically challenging environments. That’s how society was able to function prior to technology. technology today tends to separate the two. labor only and mental professionals only.
so for example, an ADHD mind can work physical labor at the paper mill. They will also do chemical quality control measurements and testing. boom, it works. the individual is happy. But give them only labor and they will have a mental breakdown.
ADHD minds must be raised in structured and sensible environments. You need to build them up to either use their super power. They also need to learn when and how to relax.
This is really cool!
i got anxious when he was constantly talking-
(i was diagnosed at 5 with adhd)
I have ADHD and I'm perfectly fine and I get all A (sarcasm) I have adhd and I only get C and A and my grades are shit and only thing I'm gud at is finding ways to make a shit ton of money but school isn't my thing and I'm only 14 freshmen
I dont take meds so it really sucks

I got distracted picking my nails watching this and the video was over by the time I realized what I was doing. 😭
The thumbnail looks like what the 80's predicted the future would look like.
I wonder if they’ve moved onto helping adults cause these kids become adults and still have issues cause ADD and ADHD dosent go away.
Lmaooo I just started laughing a lot cuz I thought he was purposely trying to annoy her
I havent been diagnosed cuz i never went for a test, but i think i have adhd, cuz i hate to wait,i want to finish things very fast otherwise everything is ruined, i cant sometimes focus when someone is talking for like an hour,my thoughs flies somewhere,idk where? I just getLost somewhere, plz tell me am i havin ADHD? I cant stand slow ppl, i must finish others sentence
My mood is often upside an down, i feel incomplete,sometimes very happy proud,an other days very hopeless n sad
This is really cool. Now i know a way to let other people experience what its like
What if Ada did everything really quickly. That would have been pretty difficult, but kinda funny too.
This is a very realistic portrayal of what it's like to be neurodivergent; a bunch of people around you talk about how your differences are "bad" and "require fixing" without considering how to utilize the differences in a way that's beneficial to everyone without being ableist jerks.
And yet, to repeat so many folks in the comments, it's unrealistic because there's no bullying or belittling from the child's peers or instructor. She was never punished for not achieving her tasks, and you can't really call it a neurodivergent childhood if you weren't penalized for your differences.
What even is this?! "Shape up their brain so they can function like the rest of us"? "Immature brains"? You can fix ADHD in 12 weeks?? What a condescending, duplicitous mess this is.
Nothing about us without us
Advantage to ADHD, if reading minds was a real thing, people trying to read yours would either go crazy or get completely lost and give up
😂😂😂 awesome
Some us can read every ones minds but they can't read ours. But to read minds also you need to focus lol
That or they'll be super annoyed of all the millions of things that occur in our heads every waking second of our lives. That plus our favorite current song of the week on 24/7 repeat.
Unless they have ADHD too.
But then they would probably get thinking about something you were thinking about and totally forget to think about what you are thinking about.
@@unknownentity7408 song of the week part is so true,for me,rn it's Lost-Linkin Park,last week it was Take my Breath Away-The Weeknd
The biggest issue with adhd isn't the inability to do stuff normally but rather how others treat you while you attempt to do them.
The hardest thing to get across to others. I felt this ngl. But now I learned I shouldn't give af what others think!
@@unknownentity7408 indeed! Confidence will show you the way.
True
Well said, I'm 45 and have been struggling with that dynamic for as long as I can remember. I love how you were able to describe and verbalize the struggle.
I do "normal" on my own terms. Over time, I have been able to ignore and completely disconnect from the scrutiny, advice, critique, undermining, of all the know it all, "normal" people I surround myself with. There are many roads leading to the same destination.👍
I have ADHD and I'm always late, I get distracted or I misjudge the time something will take and how much time I have left or how many margins I need.
Normally, I try not to plan any deadline-appointments in the first place, so I never get in trouble that way, but depending on the day, the people, the situation, it can still end badly.
I've had a craftsteacher punish me for being late, by giving me the dirtiest chair, the broken paintbrush, no biscuit at teabreak and no proper waterglass for the paint. She kept repeating to everyone (first time I followed the workshop, so this was my introduction) "Now now girls, let's not feel bad for her, she put this on herself, by being late, this is her punishment."
At the end of the workshop, I politely informed her that I was not going to return. She was confused and asked why. I answered; Because I am 22 and I paid for an artclass, not to be humiliated in front of peers."
My intention had been to make friends there, well, that went out of the window.
People have driven off for a picknick without me in the car, because I was one minute late and they wanted to teach me a lesson. Literally walked over to the car, but as soon as it went "14:06" they screamed: "its been 5 past 2, you're too late!" And drove off. We'd planned that picknick for a month, it was ridiculous. And they say there's something wrong with me...
I love how a girl without ADHD is getting so much praise for “attempting to demonstrate” what it’s like. She’s literally not doing anything exceptional and yet she’s getting so much encouragement, and yet children and adults who actually suffer with this every single day get ripped to shreds for struggling.
F**KING BINGO, DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm 21, and I was diagnosed with sever Combined-Type ADHD when I was 6, and was put on medication when I was 8 or 9. Let's just say that doing my research for a recent Psychology project made me realize that nearly everything I've struggled with and gotten punished/grounded/yelled at for isn't my fault and never has been!!! Yet my parents think I'm supposed to be 100% responsible for my decisions and constant screw-ups; And I can't tell them that 95. 5% of the time, it's not ME, it's my ADHD, because they're always like, "Stop using your disorder as an excuse," Right. Because I like to hyperfixate on the wrong thing at the wrong time, or procrastinate on a boring assignment that's due in two weeks, or always have people hovering over me, reminding me exasperatedly to do this, or not do that, etc., etc.
Right!! The shit I got all my life for not being able to carry out tasks the same as my peers is so frustrating. At the time I wasn’t diagnosed but there was clearly something wrong that nobody addressed. Just told me to “manage your time,” “just get it done,” “focus,” “how could you forget (xyz),” etc.
As accurate as the locker demo was, I can’t understand why they couldn’t have a kid with adhd to do it,, or just,, idk have someone with adhd there to make the way they spoke about us here less “othered(?)”
ikr??? I get they're trying to understand us, but your gonna have a person without adhd... demonstrate what adhd is like... how does that make sense?
they'd rather have a child attempt to mimic us than actually getting a kid with adhd on there. instead of listening to adhd voices they do this
I would have preferred if they made the adult host have to experience what it's like.
I get your point but the little girl is forced to mimic adhd I don’t think she has a choice being on this show? Idk tho
this is actually a good example.
Teachers used to say things like "go down stair, use this key, go to the door near the stare case then get a specific kind of paper and bring it to sertain room because sertain person needs it" I'd just repeat every step in my head but I would constantly doubt if I got it right and I would forget things too. it was realy frustrating.
Its like someone explaining to me where the toilet is. Halfway through I am lost and u either follow me and show me or I will just wander off until I find it
@@holymoly9903 haha mood
@@hehe.25 Even worse is that I suck at the difference between left and right. So like, it's a lost cause
@@hehe.25 I never know the difference. I have to think about what hand i write with, then my reaction is slow cus im just always trying to process what someone is saying. So if under pressure, I will not remember what to do and just walk in different directions until it's the right one.
But the bigger wonder here, out of all those years of lack of focus and so on, I AM STILL NOT DIAGNOSED.
I don't understand how someone never went like hey, they might have adhd. I'm guessing it's cus where I am adhd is like the hyperactive trouble child.
i always told the teacher i had issues with long strings of instructions and asked them to write it down so i didnt mess up. i didnt know it was an adhd thing until last euar
I have ADHD those questions were like overloading me.
Cameron Wright same
Logistican518 wait what questions? There was a bird outside
Seriously as soon as he started asking those questions I forgot what the second thing he asked her to do was. Take something out and put it in something else is all I remember.
Cameron Wright same! I didn't enjoy that.
Cameron Wright me too
I was waiting for her to turn to him and say "will you shut the hell up, I'm busy!"
I would have done something similar tbh
Me when my boss asks if im done with wath she told me to do
It’s only worse for kids when there parents have it to
@@greenshrek488 Yes, and that is because the ADHD parent will be inclined to fire additional instructions at them ad they come to mind, because of (legit) fear that they will not be able to hold yet another thought simultaneously to overseeing the kid (+n other items also already pending and/or popping up in the in- and outside). Which quickly ecsalates. Any time. Either way.
I thought the young girl had ADHD, and up until the guy said she didn't have it I was impressed/amazed at how she managed to stand so still while the others were talking. All became clear.
I... litterally got distracted when they said she doesn't have ADHD. I found out thanks to your comment. Everything makes so much more sense now lol
I though the exact same, Kelly
I can’t even sit still reading this comment lol
@@asteros_ lmao yeah, where did he even say that?? HAHAHAHA
1:28, took me awhile to find it
Haha good sport. That poor girl is wearing those glasses while they are talking about ADHD and wondering... "when is this going to end?"
My heart just starts beating really fast when there is too much going on like I'm trying to do an assignment but everyone is talking and playing music on their phones and it makes me stressed, makes me feel like I'm having a heart attack, and makes me want to scream out loud
i feel you my dude when i get hyperactive my adrenaline starts pumping and when it’s really bad it makes my chest feel fuzzy so i cant tell of i’m excited or nervous
Same
I literally felt dizzy and like omg
Paranoid like its just too heavy kinda like a metal concert going on
I get overwhelmed emotionally easily as well
I literally was having a heart attack listening to him give the instructions
i didnt even hear any instructions
same i have adhd and i was furiously repeating his sentences in my mind so i dont mess it all up
There were instructions?
@@ankiankianki3605 same my brain hurts now😅
my guy was just like
Are you okay? Are you doing anything? Are you out of school?
How do you not get distracted by that, what are you supposed to do, just not answer?
This makes it sound like ADHD is only a condition that affects some children and that they can grow out of it. However, we know that ADHD persists into adulthood in most people with the impairment.
Please don't call it an "impairment"
@@acetronaut Oh, why not? Are you another snowflake who can't stand the truth? What is it with this weak society that wants to prevent us from calling things as they are? Don't call g*nder dysphoria a 'disorder,' don't call adhd an 'impairment!' Do me favor! You think it's a blessing? 🤷🏼
its not an impairment
@@xX_wiLLiam_Xx Is that the game we're playing: It is an impairment!
@@Zak-gl4ig it isnt
