ADHD Test for Children | Does my child have ADHD?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มิ.ย. 2024
- If you want to know how to test for ADHD for yourself or your child, you MUST watch this video.
We'll cover how to get an ADHD self assessment or an assessment for your child, what ADHD screening tools people use, and who can diagnose ADHD.
We also cover what ADHD means, what ADHD stands for, and what ADHD looks like as well as common ADHD symptoms.
It's very important to understand ADHD who makes the diagnosis and why you should not take ADHD self tests.
For those of you who don’t know, ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which is actually a misleading name because:
- you don’t have to be hyperactive to have it
- and people with ADHD don’t have an attention deficit, it’s just that regulating their attention is difficult, which can either make it hard for them to focus on one thing or can make them hyperfocused on one thing
What does ADHD mean?
ADHD is a medical condition, more specifically a neurodevelopmental disorder.
It is NOT a myth or made-up excuse by parents of “naughty” kids. If you’ve ever had to deal with this, let me know what happened in the comments below!
A person with ADHD has visible differences in brain development and brain activity that affect their attention, emotional regulation, and self-control.
Watch the full video to understand more about what ADHD is, how to take an ADHD test, and how to get your child tested for ADHD.

I was supposed to be looking for a- nvm I forgot
Yuuuuup
Same, it does help when it's not there, but I tend to just leave it there if I can't find a solution and get overwhelmed with, I just tend to distract myself and forget it, until it's midnight

@@hugenerd97 yea I’m probably going to do it during the lesson it is due. I forgot and didn’t want to do it again. Whoops. I said this week would be different. Guess not.
I literally know I have adhd but my mom thinks it’s fake and won’t let me get checked out, I have all the signs. I just want to get help,
Have you tried talking to a school counselor?
oh my gosh same.,, but i’m too scared to speak uo
Sadistic Sprinkles doesn’t help, it all comes down to my mom
쥐입니다냄새나는 don’t be scared to, ask your doctor if you’re too scared to talk with your parents maybe
Me too I tried to talk abt it with my parents they took it as a joke even though they have pointed out some signs I have
I already knew I have ADHD but I didn't know I had literally ALL signs
I'm not diagnosed but I have alot of symptoms I swear I'm different types of it every few hours
Then you might have the mix
I have all the symptoms the mix one I have to meet a doctor
Sumia Dale well go get diagnosed
Life with Adara for some people it’s impossible( money or parents) for example my mom yelled at me for 1 hour before finally letting me go to a psychiatrist( witch is one of her friends so I don’t really trust her but it’s my only option)
i can’t even focus on the video 😂😭 and i am supposed to be doing school rn omg
Me too!!
Me three! what type of adhd do u have I have type 1
I paused the video when it just started to read the comments and the whole purpose of of me clicking on it was to see if I had ADHD
@@mrcoconut5077 you can’t see if you have adhd, if you think you might show symptoms go to a docter who can tell you
@@bluecookiesally845 my mom would need to take me and she think that im bringing down sickness on myself becuz i thiink i have adhd
I literally have every single one of those except for constant motion and the impulsive one....
U probably got add
Do I know you from somewhere?
Oop-
Yeah type 1
Nope
My brother definitely has ADHD and my mom doesn’t want to accept it.
Same :(((
My friend with ADHD told me I might have it so when I told my mom she just brushes me off like I'm making up excuses
same and i keep telling her that she should get him checked out since he’s at a very young age and i think it’s important but she’s basically in denial and says he doesn’t have it :/ i just want to help him now since he’s so young and i don’t want him to suffer so much when he’s older :(
@@kayzzzzzzzzz I met a young woman in the park today and complemented her on the health of her baby. I asked if she had the baby vaccinated and she said 'no'. I asked why and she said that her first child had ADHD and she had researched for the causes.
The channel titled, 'The Truth About Vaccines' is very informative.
I am in the same boat with one of my daycare kids. He is 5. He has all of the characteristics. Mom chalks it up to him “being weird like his dad.” Ya...that’s not it. Like what is the worst that could happen if you get him checked out? He doesn’t have it? Awesome! Or he does, and then he can get the help he needs. Also awesome!
“Get’s distracted a lot”
*Me switching between watching to the video and listening to my music*
Yeah probably
“On going problems” me breaking a picture, putting a hole in the walll, always interrupts in class, gets detention most of the time, etc.
Me focussing on 20 differant thigs at 1ce and hyper focussing on all cant take shit cant even stand still for point 0001 sec allways getting detention for assault and known as the school daredevel yeah i think i have stage 2 adhd
My add getting worse this past month and me now getting in trouble every single time I’m in class because I swing on my chair 😂 oh and you see my try and tell a story 🥴
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Back in kindergarten, I was kicking over things and our teacher had to move the other kids out of the room because they thought I was going to hurt someone. I have been experiencing symptoms of adhd since I was young and it is really uncomfortable being hyper, especially being overweight.
I also got detention twice this school year because I procrastinated A LOT and back when I was younger, my mom gave me spankings because of how I misbehaved at school, and I would hide from my mom so she wouldn’t be able to find me and I felt like I couldn’t control when I did these things I just felt frustrated and energized enough to do it.

same
I talk too much , can't concentrate, very forgetful, and I can not sit still.
Do I have ADHD?
@@Nova-tb6bv same
i thought it was just me lmao
Maybe watch this. Video with them or another video.you relate to.🙂❤
Me: watching this, zoning out
My symptoms:
Disorganized- I can’t keep track of ANYTHING a month will pass and my school folder/binder has so much stuff that it’s almost breaking, there’s wrappers and trash in my backpack. I always feel like something is dirty/messy but I can’t clean it cause I get sidetracked
Short attention span- my mom gets frustrated with me cause I can’t hear what she’s saying cause I’m paying attention to something else, I don’t know how I get good grades, I can’t pay attention to save my life, my mind is always on things that I’m interested in. And never on the things that I’m doing
Fidgeting- I am moving 24/7 unless I’m REALLY interested in what I’m doing, it’s all finger tapping, foot tapping, hand flapping, anything but staying still, I have repetitive things that I do over and over and over again
Special interests- I’ve heard somewhere that people with ADD, ADHD, and on the Autistic spectrum have special interests, for me it’s my favorite show, art, rodents, and acting/music, anything other then those things is just uninteresting to me.
Emotional outbursts- my emotions change rapidly, I’m happy for a minute and then the next I’m worried, or I get distracted, I’m fine for a day and then suddenly I feel really sad.
I have all of these on a daily basis
On the special interests- I really like literature ( mostly fantasy and historical fiction ) and Greece mythology
Yo I think we have the same symptoms but I still need to be diagnosed by a professional
Me: watching this realizing I do most of these things
Orange Runes i have the same symptoms and i also dont understand how i do good in school. i think its just bc i turn in my work at the last minute and just make the deadline haha
I showed this video to my mother because I could not tell her all of this. I have always known I suffer from ADHD but she never understood what it was and I could not explain it. This video helped a great lot! Thank you so much!💞❣
Is she going to get you checked?
I am 13 and think I have it, but my mom( a nurse) doesn’t think I have it but I check all of the boxes
@@user-xp9jo2rv3q I honestly have no idea but she talked to my dad about it. I think I will go for a test soon
@@japan2188 show her the video because honestly no one can ever know you as much as you do ❤
I might be your doppelganger I will and one can only hope she notices
I was diagnossed with ADHD as a child. My parents just carried on as if I was a naughty child. Every adult who surrounded me as a child thought I was I naughty child and treated me with disdain. All of them believed all I needed was a firm hand and stronger punishments. As an adult I've cut most of my aunts and uncles out of my life completely.
I always got punished for my sudden feelings of anger and amount of energy when I do it. I am not diagnosed, but I have most of the symptoms of adhd. (I am not self diagnosed)
That is so heartbreaking. I am curious, what could your parents have done that would have helped you? My daughter is type 3 and I feel so defeated as a parent because I dont know how to help her. My daughter is in 3rd grade and she still struggles to add/subtract, write sentences as well as has a speech delay. She also has difficulty making friends because she comes off as "weird" to other kids. I just want to protect her but I know she needs to be able to interact socially. I know children with ADHD are not naughty - they are sweet children with a lot of life and have amazing imaginations and creativity! My daughter is one of the sweetest and most caring little girl and I dont want her to grow up feeling like no one likes her..that is so terrible and Im so sorry that you were treated like a naughty child.
@@mzchelle7769 definetly try professional help and if you can’t afford that Internet forums o professionals in the internet shall suffice I believe.
@@mzchelle7769 ask the doctors if it would be plausible for her to take ritalin
@@mzchelle7769 also people with adhd dont come off as weird to other people, usually thats with autism and ocd. so either the people at her school are weird themselves, or its some other problem unrelated
Video: Might have time focusing
Me: scrolling through the comments, looking around my room, zoning out
Bro I literally paused the video just to look in the comments lol
I teach pre-k. It's unbelievable how many parents think their child has add/adhd. Most of the time the child is going through a phase where they are seeking independence or maybe being strong willed. Lots of times the parents don't seem to understand that their child isn't going to just naturally behave or not need to be reprimanded more than once for something. It's a work in progress.
Oh thank you I thought I was the only one who think my daughter have it she is just 3
Wish my parents payed attention to me like that
@@aliaa4534 yes :)
Thank you, some parents just want their kids to be special.
This made me feel better. I hope it’s just a phase but i see that my son is the only one in his little class that never ever sits down and he constantly moves and talks, & the teachers are always complaining and they suspect that he might have adhd 😢
Me a 12 yr old watching this and know my mom wont spend money for me being diagnosed or either diagnosed without it: 👁👄👁
Same 😫
same here, which makes me fake that i’m faking it while deep down ik i’m not.
You can be diagnosed at your school
My mother doesn't believe in ADHD in girls and earlier today when I expressed my concerns for ADHD to my therapist today she basically told me to just do my work, my mother agreed.
I hate it when my mom lectures or scolds me, so I just turn up the volume on my headphones and she gets mad at me.
It is absolutely real! I've suffered from most of these symptoms since about seven years old. My dad won't admit it but he has it as well. Now my son faces the similar fate. I understand the fear and loathing.
Diet and exercise helps me immensely. First having coffee in high helped alot. The men in my family are additionally polyglots.
A good nutritionalist helped my step daughter with bi polar disorder.
Hang in there comrades!
We're low in focus
High in I Q !
You shouldn‘t just go around diagnosing people(especially if they don‘t think that they show symptoms)
How can one help a son who won't eat healthy and has most of the signs explained in the video😥

Im a step parent,i live with a 7 year old boy,
His father gets mad at the mention of adhd,thinking its bad. This is just how a 7 year old acts
He really struggles,he pulls at his shirts,fidgets the entire body at the slight of any uncomfort or confrontation,he starts to hyperventilate too
When spoken to,he will ignore everything you say,and say"yes, but.." And start talking about what he wants,unrelated to what we tell him
He interrupts all conversations,and talks excessively,which is why no one reallys likes playing or hanging around him
But when it comes to expressing emotion,he struggles hard and ends up spazzing out,fidgeting hard
He really really reallly REALLY strughles with listening ,and really really struggles to stat still
Which isnt a problem but its just seems so extreme,i havent seen this kind of behaviour
Can anyone help me out with this?
My 8 year old grandson has ADHD I am trying to help him with this because I love him and need to help and I will 🙏
Give him wild caught fish oil!!! Liquid is better but the pills are easier to give to little kids I have adhd and it really has helped me so much

Take him to the doctor instead of trying to diagnose him yourself. Especially as the step parent, you sound like you are projecting a lot of negative things and opinions of this boy.

I think I have ADHD but I'm too scared to tell my parents to get me tested at school (they can diagnose you) to see and I've always been hyperactive and day-dreamy and I have problems regulating my emotions

Wait you can get diagnosed at school? I needa do that
My son was ADHD. I get help from my dokter . Tested at RSKD Duren Sawit. Now his success and I'm proud and happy for him.
He is speech delayed also?
At what age he dignosed?
3:06 that is the BEST description of me I have ever heard this guy could not be anymore right about me
I’m watching this 2 years later and I’m 13. I’m pretty sure I have ADHD as well as I KNOW I have severe anxiety I am constantly anxious and anger management issues… I tend to get frustrated with things quite easily and I was watching this to see if I can relate or compare to any of these symptoms and I’m pretty sure ATLEAST 99.9% sure that I’m affected with ADHD. I’m constantly fidgeting and getting distracted and I’m always fiding a way to move my body not being able to just sit. Thank you for testing me🖤
My mom took me to a “doctor” and told her to tell me that I had nothing I asked my mother if we could go to another doctor but she keeps denying and told me that adhd is made up

SAME- 😂
My son has shown signs of ADHD since his toddler years. I tried and tried to talk about it with my wife who refused to acknowledge it as a real problem. Now the issues are more pronounced due to Asian schooling methods and academic pressure, she's finally willing to accept that our son's mind doesn't work like his peers. It's been exhausting trying to battle between the 2 extremes in personality.
@Demian ALIKA what herb
I have the same problem explaining to my asian family about my son’s problem trying to get more help
@@ThaoTran-dj8rs Shortly after that post a few years back, I managed to persuade the family to get him into an international school. While expensive it's been AMAZING. The whole family situation is better and more understanding. He's been given the support he needs at school with teachers who actually care and offer extra classes catered for ADHD and dyslexia. Plus the regular classes are smaller, so the teacher has more time to focus on each student. My son now loves going to school. I'd recommend it if there's something like that available near you.
Him: *listing the symptoms*
Me: do I do that??? I don’t think so....?!
I find it hard to concentrate in class and sometimes I can’t sit still. I also get easily distracted and I’ve taken online tests and they say I have adhd. I’m not that forgetful but I don’t know if I have it. Pls can someone help
Get medicated
can you link me the online test?
You should get a caseworker, My friend with ADHD has one.
You might have a very slight case of adhd but it sounds more like add but just in case try to get tested

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression , anxiety and illicit pill addiction . Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone . Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues . ⠀
Please does anyone know where I can get them ? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels , I would love to try shrooms
@@louisianawalters7452 Yes Dr Mile
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
Tripping is not really bad but find a good mycologist Who will teach you the right things you need to know
I was having this constant , unbearable anxiety because of stress. Not until I also came across Dr.Mile a very intelligent mycologist. He came through for me with his knowledge on psychs.
Our son has ADHD, we cant take him out to eat and grocery shopping is a nightmare lol. We have to hold his hand around streets anywhere near a street, pretty much everywhere. We look for parks with fencing or a hiking parks with trails. He likes to say hi to every person he sees which is so cute and most of the time people respond with a smile and a hello. Sometimes not lol. He does enjoy rough housing (hitting, jumping/rolling on people, ramming his head into them, etc 🤦🏻♀️😂)and once he's in flo its difficult getting him to settle down. I'm a fairly new mom and in all my years of taking care of kids I've never seen a child with as much energy as ours. Thank you for this video I'm still fairly new to all this and I appreciate any info I can find!
That is my son as well.
One word MEDICATION
i’d saying hi part of adhd my son says hi and bye to his classmate all the time
@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 Oh yes, also its all about the technique. I have a whole system down for everywhere and everything. Not that things always run smoothly lord knows lol but I finally figured out how to get around some things. No meds at this point and I'm hoping to avoid them. Not that I'm against it bc I know its necessary and beneficial to them, but I know with medication its tricky business and its all about finding what works for that individual. So for now I'm just going to do and try everything I can. Like now when we go to the grocery store first thing I do is tell him what is going on and what I expect from him. I constantly engage with him in the store, pointing at things and asking him questions about them. I'll let him help put things in, let him pick out a special food so he's less likely to just pick up random things. I always praise him for all his help, he loves that stuff. But yea lol he's just an all around great kid. Its sucks we live in a world that forces people to believe they have to conform to a "normal" that dosen't even exist.
i cant tell if this is real or not because absolutely none of the things you described is correlated to adhd
Lots of valuable information in here for families looking to understand how to get help for their child and what testing looks like for ADHD. Thank you for pulling together this information. Since you asked, I'd love if you could post videos about 1) strategies parents could use to help their ADHD child at home and keep their sanity 2) how teachers can support students with ADHD. I work in a lot of schools where students, teachers, and families are struggling with the impact that ADHD has on their lives. Thanks again!
Thank you Stacy! Will do. Our next video is about possible treatments for ADHD, but we have tons of videos coming out about helping your child both at school and at home.
We even have an entire course coming out that's taught by all kinds of ADHD specialists and specifically addresses how to handle the transition to middle school and understand your child's needs, without losing your mind.

My nephew dont never keep still & hes always making noise & being rude😂, iam convinced he has ADHD, but i still love him no matter what💕
i’m literally sobbing. i keep getting diagnosed with anxiety because i always forget to tell them about my adhd symptoms because i have such bad memory. my mother completely ignores all my symptoms and brushes it off as either hormones (even though i’m quite past that point) or just anxiety. but the thing is she genuinely believes adhd i just being loud and rowdy.
All I'm thinking about is what the hell the captions mean-
No worries, we fixed them for you!
I’m an adult with adhd people don’t believe me and I even doubted myself but then I took the medication and my life changed so much for the better so I believe fully!
I completely zoned out and forgot I was even watching this video 🤭
Haha same!
Hes speaks way too slow
@@frankythebean4596 lol I was remembering where I would put vulgar things like murder for my storylines in 2nd grade, and I fell asleep, and cheated on spelling tests. ALL IN SECOND GRADE.
3:27 “attention defashit”💀💀💀😂😂😂
Woops 😅 sorry about that
@@SmartCourse it’s all good man😂😂😂
Thx for everything my daughter was diagnosed with adhd when she was 3 years old she has alot of the symptoms she fidgets alot during class,and also blurts out answers,talking excessively.
Thank you for sharing you’re story I have a quick question How did you help her I mean to get through it ?
Thank you for such informative video I'm a mum of A 7 yrs old boy and recently had meeting with his teacher and we feel he has ADHD and I will help him wherever I can.
I have pretty much all the symptoms apart from the aggressive side, i usually keep that to myself.
i just knew i had adhd and Im a kid im very impulsive talk to much and blurt out answers life is hard man its hard
When were you diagnosed(just curious)
I blurt things out and the kids glare at me except for my friend, I felt a bit better knowing she knew I didn’t mean to and didn’t get mad at me for it.
There was a test to see if the viewer could tell who had ADHD and which kid didn’t and I knew that the girl had it cause she was a little shy and said she had moods and when she said she didn’t have a lot of friends and that people don’t invite her to things. it reminded me so much of my own life and it’s so hard to control yourself 😭 you just end up pushing people away bc of it awkwardness and how much you talk. It makes me so sad that she had it and has to deal with it. I get picked on a lot because of my impulsive and over active Conscious. I wish I was normal so much 😭😭
I have become friends with parents that I then had to stop going around because they would always comment thinking my child is undisciplined and putting so much pressure on me. I have ADHD and it’s very likely my son does. There are other ways that are more effective to dealing with a non typical neuro type that people without this wouldn’t understand. I’m not sad about losing the friends but I did try to force it for a long time, instead of accepting my own parenting, myself, and child. Other people will have opinions and can be negative, even if I welcomed them to share those, it did not mean they were right. And if people don’t think they are listened to they kind of lose respect, which went both ways.
I'm not sure if I have ADHD but here is what I do
- i get angry
- i feel depressed sometimes
-i fidget
- i struggle to make friends
-i daydream
-im messy
- i get stressed easily
- i seem dramatic over small things
- I'm shy
Thanks for this, a lot of this resonates and I definitely need to get my son tested. Appreciate the advice of how to go about looking for an assessment, its not rocket science but makes more sense hearing it from the experts. Thank you

I love how I was just talking about my sisters ADHD and then I saw this video and saw the ADD and noticed it completely matched my kind of profile in school so i think i have ADD which surprised me.
I’m diagnosed and this is everything of my life. I’ve been diagnosed since I was 8, now 19 and I stopped taking my medicine since I’m not in school anymore so it’s not entirely helpful to focus and it was exhausting taking my medication
Beautifully explained. Thank you. 🌸
I have two children that have ADHD.
My daughter has the inattentive type, and my son has the hyperactivity/impulsive type. I, too, have ADHD (inattentive type). For us, it is manageable. There are just certain things that we need to do to manage it. It has certainly been a learning process, and I am confident to say that we now have a good system down. Also, Quillichew (for the kids) and Concerta (for me) have worked beautifully. Thanks again for sharing your video and spreading awareness. Yes, ADHD is very real, and if you think that you or someone you know has ADHD, ..make an appointment to see a DOCTOR. You got this! 💪🏼
Have an awesome day everyone. :)

Thank you for sharing❤I am getting my 3 year old screened
Myself and husband both have adhd as well (inattentive type) I have 5 kids. 2 of which have adhd as well. My 8yo is inattentive and my 5yo is hyperactive. Just had our meeting at their school for a 504 plan. This is so true, with the right tools, it can be manageable. For myself and husband, we are medicated after 15+ years of trying and failing at fitting into the societal norms but both of my boys are in occupational therapy to help them learn tools for making adhd manageable
I'm 13 about to be 14 next month and I think I have ADHD. This 'noticing things before 12' gets me tripped up because although I can pinpoint specific examples of how ADHD has affected me before 12, I never really noticed any symptoms? I've been diagonsed with anxiety since I was 11. I don't know, it feels like I'm lying to myself though I know I'm not...I've never struggled academically in anything that wasn't math. Even now, I'm in an honors class and have been since I was in 4th grade where I have about 95s in every subject. It feels like I'm lying because I always thought I was 'just weird.' My family has always pushed horrible labels on me and stated that I'm not normal like other kids (which I am most definetely not). This includes socially, emotionally, and regular development because I was always slower on learning things such as tying my shoes and not wetting the bed...Those types of skills which you learn early on I only really mastered at 10 years of age. I am extremely sensitive to the point everyone at my elementary school considered me a 'cry baby' and I always dealt with anger horribly. Well, I have social anxiety so I feel like that already answers that. I know I'm different but it feels so weird that there might be a term for /how/ I'm different because there's people like me. My step brother has ADHD and I never knew until he told me last year, and we are so similar, so there's that...
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I really want to get diagonised and I've researched it but I don't know how. And it sort of feels like I'm lying to myself. I don't understand. This is complicated. What should I do?
I feel you... everything that you said is literally how I’m feeling rn maybe try talking to your guidance counselor at school?
@@originalxsammy8097 Hello! I hope you're able to find the help you need! ^^ I recently re-scheduled with my therapist and I found out that he actually does ADHD evaluations! I'm really unsure because I feel as if I'm still not being truthful, and If I pinpoint this label on myself and It turns not to be true It'll be like a confirmation that I really am all the bad things people say I am. I know ADHD isn't an excuse for anything, but I think it's better to know you're different for a reason rather than just because you are.
Anyway, I think I'm going to take a chance and ask for the evaluation. I hope you're able to do so as well. I appreciate your comment and the sentiment. Have a nice day!
Going to get a diagnosis will help you find out if you have ADHD, and if not, the therapist running the diagnosis will most likely have an inkling as to who to talk to next. There is ASD which is a vast spectrum, social pragmatic disorder, and so many other disorders that once you learn about them and how they impact you, you will find the tools and skills and possibly medication you need to help you. Always be your own advocate and reach out to school staff. If your school does not have a therapist you can connect with, ask the front desk for websites and emails of psychologist staff who work for the district. They will be more than willing to help you get into contact with whomever you need.
I honestly just saw something on the tv and the video finished, haha. I have most of these symptoms so I might go get a diagnosis for ADHD. Thank you very much for the video! 👍
Me: has all the symptoms
My friend:you might have it
Me: to busy scrolling through the comments
I promised to do my homework after eating... It's been 3 hours since I said that and my tea is cold
This is very good - easy to follow.Substantial.
“regulating their attention is difficult” (ive been diagnosed btw)
*me deciding to start the video, forget it was playing and look for my headphones*
*then me playing with my haiespray*
My son has almost all the symptoms. Am tires of the school calling and atimes making it seem I am at fault because my kid does not has focus at school. ( Same at home) now I can seek help. Thankfully I live in Germany. I don't have to worry about price or insurance coverage. Thanks allot for the video.my kid is going to fine.
Hey! I noticed it seemed you wanted to know what happened and why I came here to look. Well, I'm actually nearly 11 and am bullied for my so-called "ADHD / ADD". I'll tell my story if you're curious!
My "Friends" and I were in ELA (we're in Spanish immersion), and I wasn't paying attention, mind you, I was much more interested in the paper origami piano I created during History. I was practicing my chords for the song I was supposed to perform the next day. The teacher noticed I was interested in something other than her lesson. Her immediate thought was "Oh, this student is on her phone." May I remind you, I don't currently own a phone, just a laptop. She said something along the lines of "______, give me your phone. Class is in session." I responded with "Ma'am, I don't own a phone. I just have trouble focusing on things." After class, my "friends" humiliated me over my embarrassing encounter the class before. I believe one named Keira said something like "Dude, ADHD sucks!!!! I Have it, and it's not fun." (She didn't have it, she's just a lying b*tch.) I was curious about what ADHD actually meant.
As far as I know, I just know I have Anxiety, Depression, and Insomnia. Here I am, and I'm fairly certain I have ADHD / ADD after watching this. Thanks, and hope you found this helpful!
i pretty sure i have ADHD or ADD. i’m not sure though because my father was the same as a kid, and was tested for ADHD, and didn’t have it. i find it very hard to focus in school and find myself daydreaming and fidgeting with things all the time. i also find it super hard to get into anything (reading a book or watching a video that i’m not interested in. i’ll read it and hear it in my head but i just forget about it as soon as i think about it again.). i’m bored very easily too. i sometimes get hyper for no reason. i have other things too that i can’t really describe, i guess lol.
Hi.im A Mom of a teen who was hyper and impulsive as a child and now at 13 is better but still looses focus and needs lots of reminders. From what you described you reminded me of my child so take heart it's not necessarily a bad thing people with ADHD and also people on the autism spectrum a lot of times end up being extremely creative imaginative Innovative thinkers there are TH-cam videos like this to watch that will encourage you there's also tips on how to cope with ADHD online one tip is to make a list my daughter functions much better with lists and reminders that she can see. Also regulary exersize helps release excess energy and you make concentrate better after exercising because now you are calm and can focus this works well for my child also said she has been doing homeschooling since you was in second grade and really loves it.
But daydreaming is not necessarily A Bad Thing there are some people who are straight A students and very studious but cannot have one original idea and their head we are all different so focus on your qualities and not on comparing yourself to anyone else okay?. Keep smiling.you are enough.you are awesome.Be creative.Be kind. Put effort.Thats enough to be happy. We all can improve on something but don't let you obsess over it self-acceptance is very important.🙂❤-
from a well meaning Mom.
I make noises in class and the kids say can you stop and sometimes they say it really harshly, and I feel really happy and I keep making the noise. I also have these funny voices I do when I get bored, and I get hyped up when I do them, and then the kids kept laughing at me, and they always said: “Hey Simone, can you make that noise again?” I stopped doing it for them because I started to notice them snickering when I did it, and it hurts so much. I think my friend notices it too, cause she has this look on her face that is just saying “Does she know?” Or something like that.
i have all of the symptoms and i am 13 yrs old, they started since i was in 4th grade and i’m currently in 8th i haven’t been able to do homework since 6th grade and i’ve been failing a lot, i forget things really easily and i get super mad from it, i also daydream a lot and get lost basically, i have trouble staying focused and learning i’m not sure if i have adhd but it’s all i can think of? my symptoms aren’t that severe but they are causing me to fail academics and i have trouble talking to people without getting anxious, if you’ve read this what do u think i have or is it just stress?
Thanks for telling me I wanted to look up my ADHD and it was a amazing help for me
When i was young i was taken out of class a couple times to go to a sketchy office building, stay in a room with some random guy. and play easy games like : tap X ONLY when you see the X on the screen. i felt like it was too boring and still messed up, little did i know people were watching me and that test would change my life forever..
This is some insane dad lore right here
I have ADHD and dyslexia haha
Me to
It’s so hard
I ADHD kids are so nice
Wish you good luck in scho kid
NFFCJENS !!! You just don’t, you literally said you have mental health 😂🤣🤣😂🤣
My son has all the signs, but the funny part is he fares decently in school compared to how less he really studies for them. He is ok with his social life. Not grt but not too bad. He interacts with extended family very well. However, inside the house, his room is a mess, he is shouting all the time fidgeting all the time, pulling on things, knocking on our heads, screaming into our ears, constantly seeks gadgets or junk food, eats messily even now at 14. His outside personality and inside personalities are poles apart
A couple of years ago, when covid-19 spread out, my school had a mental illness awareness week, and on (I think) was the 3rd day which was ADHD, in the middle of lunch (me and some of my other classmates stayed in class for lunch because of well covid-19) one of my classmates walked up to me as I was eating and asked me if I had ADHD, the teacher heard it and made the classmate to say sorry insistently, but now I'm a bit curious if I do have it because then and now I really do seem like I do have ADHD
My dad is the biggest problem in my life because I have adhd I can't hear him good and I can't focus on anything.
Great material!
I’m actually pretty sure I have it. I’m not constantly in motion, more like random movements when I’m trying to concentrate. I bounce my knees a lot. The first time I had heard of it was in Percy Jackson, which sounds stupid but I realized that was similar to how I was. I easily snap, and I am DEFINITELY forgetful. I even forgot my backpack. At school. Which I wear on my back (like all the time). Being blunt is also a big part of me. I blurt random things out. My friends say I have to attention span of a goldfish, at the best. I also think my dad has it as well (or he’s just hella good at multitasking) because we both can talk and listen to five people at once. I am extremely disorganized. Trust me, you won’t believe how messy my desk and my room is.
I had those issues since my CHILDHOOD and ADULT life as well
“Affects their self control”
*ME : LOOKING AT OTHER VIDEOS*
Me reading comments lol
My adhd is the most common
I drink coffee to calm my self down whenever I'm to hyper im only 8 to and I dont know if 8 year olds are supposed to have adhd I dont know if other kids have adhd
But If i remember correctly I did think it was just me being super hyper active but one of my cousins said I have adhd and i wasn't really concerned about it and just let it slide after staying indoors for months I was kinda tired of being....
Inside like we're all stuck at home like seriously like
PEOPLE STOP SWALLOWING BATS
Like ya know what I'm saying.
ANYways I gotta go
You can have ADHD when you're 8, yes, but I don't think 8 year olds should have coffee-
@@kaisepher yeah that mostly true nut im 9 now
At any age you can get ADHD, So you don't need to worry
Your parents let you have coffee at eight years old?
@@crispycutie7058 ok thats at least a relief
My legs always move (maybe it’s because I’m still growing?) and now I’ve noticed it’s in my fingers too. I’ve only realized it now but I have trouble paying attention plus I can’t sleep at night because my thoughts brush over my head so I used to sleep in parents bedroom just so I could focus on their breathing to go to sleep. Now I have to listen to ASMR or sleep music to sleep or else I just can’t until it’s 6 am and I have class at 7:50 am
My 5yo is type 3 adhd. He runs into roads with no regards to cars or anything around him, he just got in his first fight because a kid hit him in the back and that was the straw (he’s usually amazing in school) he can’t stay still, struggles with group activity, struggled with holding a pencil because he just wanted to build with blocks instead and never had an interest sitting to draw/ color But he’s so incredibly smart to the point where he’s getting an iq test this month to see if he qualifies for gifted classes. He’s just sooooo impulsive, I worry about his safety more than anything. He’s in occupational therapy which has helped a bit but his school is amazing and has done so much to help him. I wish someone paid attention when I was younger, I struggled sooo much. I’m finally starting to get some kind of structure in life and I have 5 kids. Myself and husband have adhd as well as my 8yo and 5yo.
My son has the signs and symptoms of type 3, but he is 5 years old, his doctor said that his is can’t be ADHD because of is age, his diagnosis is Genral developmentat delay, I confused 🤷♂️
Actually 5 years old can have ADHD. You can wait a few years if you want and check again
Ok, I can relate with every symptom. What should I do 😐
I have constant motion because my teacher always catches my standing in my chair or standing up dancing behind my chair. I am easily sidetracked because I just randomly go through my book bag at school and when my mom tells me to go get something and I get sidetracked and I have to go back to her to see what she needs again. I am talking excessively because my teacher is always telling me to be quite in class. I always squirming and fidgeting because I have bad anxiety and so I like to bring a squishy to school and squish it. I am frequently forgetful because my mom tells me to do something and I forget what she says. I am interrupting because when my mom is talking to my dad I just budge into their room and answer their questions.
ive had an EXTREMELY hard time over the years, and i thought ADHD was always overdiagnosed, but for the others that are having an as-hard time as me, sending love
I have ALL the signs and my mom said that’s what every kid does, she said it’s just stupid and she won’t let me get tested 0-0
Don't say it cuz they think that ure just making it
Back earlier in the year, if you look at my work from the beginning of my classes, you can see full on artworks on the top of my paper lol. My teachers always call my name and tap on me and tell me to pay attention and not draw on my papers.

Annette Robertson hey!!!
The captions are slightly strange
The intro music sent me back to That Chapter lol
I think I have ADD I have all of the symptoms, but if I tell my mom she will think I’m lying just because my best friend has ADHD
I don’t have think I have ADHD nor ADD but I’m wondering if I have a learning disability? Please feel free of comment your thoughts on this
My symptoms:
I struggle a lot in Geography and English and sometimes in maths. I don’t understand a question that everybody else seems to understand. Sometimes I have to read the question over and over like 3-5 times.
I’m now 14 and I’m struggling to sometimes compute what people are saying. Once I was at school and the teacher was explaining a game I’ve never played or heard and though it was a tricky game in general I didn’t really under stand. It just went in one ear and out the other. I ended having the game explained 3 times and I got some of it and I ended up getting it as I go but there was an example
Now I know a lot of people say they get detracted soooooo easily but tbh I don’t think I get detracted that much though within saying that. I mostly read the comments during videos. I’m always fidgeting with something in class at lunch at home. And back to the not understanding questions. I just generally don’t get it. Sometimes I’ll know what all the words in the question means but I can’t put it together. Sometimes I don’t know any of the words in the sentence. I get embarrassed to say anything. One of my friends who is on a scholarship at my school I’ll call her Kayla, she’s getting fed up with me asking her questions all the time. Like how to spell this word or what does this mean I don’t get it!
I also fidget non stop. In class, at home. As I was writing this I thought of this while I was fidgeting lol. Also when I’m reading a book I sometimes read from a random spot cause it’s the first word I see and it’s really hard to stop myself from reading and also when I’m reading a book it’s hard to remember the stuff. I’m reading a book right now and I have no idea where the character is and who she’s with. It’s just really confusing. (It’s not just with book).
Also I talk to myself without me knowing it and in my head think about things and have arguments with myself a lot of the time. (Christians please don’t hate. For example: I’m trying to learn and want to believe in god. I attend a Anglican school and a youth club but in my head I’m just thinking, “there’s no proof” “what are the odds in this god being real and not others”. I truely am trying to believe but im struggling. I haven’t been to youth all year so far) though that might be a personal problem not a symptom but still.
I do forget things not too much and I have a record of missing the bus. Or getting on the bus in the middle of the road (hehehe). My best friend has ADHD and also my brother has too though we think he might have something else as well. I’m not the best at thinking things though. Should I be concerned about this or is this normal?
LoveMilliePops dyslexia
Try to ask a trusted adult about “Dislexia”, I am a little bit too lazy to explain to you(sorry I have ADHD I’m gonna talk crap) but just go to somebody and ask about Dislexia, I think you have this.
It sounds like ADD with Dyslexia. That's what I have. I was diagnosed at 4 with ADD. And dyslexia when I was in school.
I was already diagnosed but I like watching these video
I’m almost sure I have adhd I have all most all of the symptoms but whenever I ask my mum if we can get a test she just says maybe and completely forgets about it.
I’m pretty sure I have ADHD but all the ADD signs match me except not overly active I get random bursts of energy I like cannot sit still at all I talk a lot and I tend to blurt things out in the middle of class
But The only thing I can relate to and type two is can’t sit still and a little bit of impulsiveness
Oh OK I didn’t see the type 3. One that matches me is type 3 but can it be diagnosed in a person 12 and older because I’m 12 and I think I have it
Literally I'm exactly the same, but 13 not 12
Me: Trying to watch the video
Also Me: Focuses deeply on the functioning of a plastic toy fish hook
the captions helped me alot, thanks!
My mom thinks I'm just using adhd as an excuse to not be as focus and do bad in school which is not true I just want to get tested and make sure bc I had to drop out of a smart school bc they wouldnt let me move around and got upset my I clicked my pens and fidgeted
Just because you get distracted doesn't mean you have adhd
Spittin fax 👆
I used to have to run on a treadmill in order to study by voice like spelling words or quiz study guides
Thank you for the subtitles, my headphones decided to be difficult just now.
I had adhd when I was 7 but when I eat healthy foods and bot take pills , I could actually grow normally. I’m still behind in growth

...you can't be cured from ADHD, but good for you for eating more healthy
My daughter’s hyperactivity started when she was 2 years old I get kids are active, but she’s literally like the energizer bunny she can literally be moving constantly even after hours of playing outside in the yard and she’s now almost 5 years old for preschool she’s homeschooled because the preschool she doesn’t qualify for because it’s a preschool for the developmentally delayed and other preschools have a waiting list and she does have some behavioral issues but her therapist will not believe me and her dad doesn’t help me during her therapy appointments i feel so helpless because he denies everything even though he’s not home with her 24/7 like I am so he doesn’t let me do the talking
So now she start school or not?
My daughter is 2.7 year old and hyperactive with delayed speech i am also worried about her school
7/9..
I’m gonna try getting an appointment scheduled.
I don't do it anymore, but when I was younger, around 11-16, I would flick my arm with a very sharp pencil for minutes at a time. Sometimes I would bleed (just a little) but for the most part it would just leave a bunch of red marks. I don't remember being depressed, but I was anxious so that could be it. I wondered if that could be a sign of ADHD but now that I think about it it could've just been anxiousness
