All you're going to witness here is 15 minutes of great comedy.
When does the comedy start?
@@angelavara4097 The moment the video starts.
@@angelavara4097 You obviously don't know anyone with ADHD!
When you leave chat
@@B_Bodziak maybe she wasnt PAYING ATTENTION to the video
A lot of people don't believe ADHD is real until they marry someone with ADHD. The "trail of broken dreams" is dead on. Everything gets started, nothing gets finished.
I have ADHD and autism and husband has a stutter this Is our life 😂😂
I'm pushing forty...my wife and I watched this and she turned to me and said..."Are you sure you don't have ADHD....cuz you're the wife in this picture, except with a collection of tools instead of rocks and several boxes of unfinished repairs". Decided to get a professional opinion on the matter...and 6 doctors and weeks of evaluation later...yeah, I'm Drew's wife.
My whole family has it...
My ADHD husband wants to finish our basement himself. Could have paid a little more to have the builders do it when they finished the rest of the house, but this is his dream.
The rest of the house was finished 6 years ago. The basement has a half dozen support beams ... and that's all.
@@tinkeramma That's me in a nutshell.
As a woman with ADHD, a rock collection, a spiritual connection to squirrels, and enough art and craft supplies to start my own store, I laughed so hard I thought I was going to trigger an asthma attack. All I can say is thank God I'm not married, and especially not married to a stand up comedian, lol.
Me too!
As a woman exactly the same as you but also married to the MOST NEUROTYPICAL GUY its hard.
Same. I saved a baby squirrel last month too. 😅
😂😂😁
Oh no. I am married to squirrels, stare at pretty rocks, have adhd and I am engaged to a comedian 😂
"the glue gun on... So I'm too late" 🤣🤣🤣 dead
I had a baby squirrel run up behind me, hop on my boot, and run up to my shoulder. We stared at each other and blinked, then he ran off. Came to visit for the next couple days though. Held him in my hand and fed him corn.
So what happened to the chicken?
As a "emo kid" with a adhd sister, I appreciate the representation of our relationship
My sister is not emo, but she has a grumpy silent personality and it has always annoyed the crap out of her how I ask her SOOOOO many questions. Everyday. Lol.
@@viridianacortes9642 that's amazing and I respect your chaos
It's basically DeeDee and Dexter, lol. We have this in my family, too.
This cracked me open lol
@@shiraz9986 Awh yeah :D
My wife and I both have ADHD so our house is either immaculate and well put together or looks like a war zone and there’s no in between 😂
Much love to ya'll, that battle never seams to cease (so far)
same!! and one of our kids has ADHD, the other autism. All four of us are neurodivergent.💀
No cap!
oh boy, my fiancé has Autism and ive got ADHD, very much the same
we have never reached immaculate. we get halfway through three projects... I do house work all day but my house is never clean!
As an artist who is a retired hygienist, has a masters and an almost doctorate, who rescues disabled animals, makes intricate crochet thread items, is a reiki master, has multiple crystals, has a house full of art supplies in 50 different genres, is a certified life coach..... (takes a breath)...... I have forgotten my point. 😂
That's me bro.. just a life gathering of certificates and degrees and experiences 😅😂 that's an ADHD life 😅
❤❤❤❤❤ love it!
Why is the dancing thing absolutely true though 💀 If I hear anything remotely adjacent to a beat, I'm dancing to it
This guy just represented ADHD, proved that unconditional love is real, threw dirt at people who capitalise on other people’s problems and actually made us laugh. HERO.
Legendary 😂
I felt like the target of this skit, I love it! 🤣 Someone actually understands!
restraint is still a choice when you have ADHD btw, acting like that is a choice you choose to make. its the same with emotions, you dont control what emotions you feel but that doesnt mean your emotions control you and how you act. ADHD is the same
@@0AAHENIX No, it's not the same. We're talking about a well-researched, neurological disorder that affects executive functions and *self-control* (see the problem with your assessment?). Which choice to make is something you control, but your choices may be limited; ADHD symptoms like distractability and hyperfocus are absolutely NOT a choice. While there are some tools, coping mechanisms, and resources that can help us (if we can *remember* to use them!), just using "restraint" to control ADHD--if it works at all--is mentally exhausting, highly limited, and impossible to sustain. It's kind of like telling someone who's had no food or sleep for 48 hours that solving algebra problems is just simple math. Maybe it is, but if you expect them to do it at the same speed and level as someone who's eaten and slept well, you're probably not going to get great results.
@@Amy-zr5mn >me- a neurologist for 6 years who also has ADHD and PTSD that i learned to control through proper conditioning and mental strengthening
>you- someone who doesnt have actual real life knowledge on the subject like i do
we are not the same
also no one even once claimed that you choose to feel distracted or hyperfused, wtf are you smoking. i said the EXACT opposite of that kid, learn to read
"It's just a trail of broken dreams and then she's stuck in a corner somewhere." I cried laughing at how accurate that is.
The story of my life. With blessings sprinkled on along the way.
@@wisething2do And bits of my broken toe nail :D
😂
So funny 😂 so accurate lol
Exactly
I am a grown woman and I have ADHD. The last bit had me laughing so hard I cried. Cause that's totally me. 'Sick beat babe'
I love these videos. This is so accurate. I've had pocketfuls of rocks more times then I can count. I also have a pet racoon lol
This guy is hilarious! He is describing how I clean. I did get diagnosed by a doctor. I was stunned. I was 62 years old at the time of diagnosis but it explained so much.
May I ask how you found a doctor willing to evaluate you for ADHD? My mom is 67 and no one wants to do it, as if old age makes the symptoms go away. She’s specifically does not want to get medicated, she just wants to KNOW.
I was late bloomer diagnosis as well Life changing isn't it!
Yes
Lol yes!,undiagnosed here, but this is exactly how I clean. It's exhausting 😂
@@paloma3248 It's tough to diagnose, because there's no test to definitively prove you do or don't have it. They ask you questions, and if give the same answers and display characteristics that match other people who have been characterized with the disorder, then they will declare that you have the disorder as well.
So since there's no medical test, like it's not going to show on an XRAY or brain scan, etc, it's a matter of having very specialized knowledge to be able to correctly identify if the patient has the disorder, so it doesn't surprise me that a lot of doctors would shy away from diagnosing it.
As someone with ADHD...yup, this is pretty accurate. Right after I started ADHD medication at the age of 33 it was an epiphany when mid-washing dishes, I saw something else in the kitchen needing to be done, (with sponge in hand) was able to pause before moving to that other task, and tell myself, "I'll get to that after I finish the dishes." 🤯
41 here, just started taking meds. It's incredible "normal" people work that way all the time...🤯😂
Everything just makes so much sense now
Good for you! Progress!🎉
anyone please describe more into detail being on the pills, I dunno I can be taking em, because I learned to live with it and taking advantage of it... my work and workflow and creativity is based on total chaos, but I'm content creator and designer and I need to be creative and I need the hyperfocus, helps me finish difficult projects I'd be lazy to even start or work on. I'd say pills will take all that from me + psychical medication often leads into gaining weight. Pot lil helps me to focus and to be productive, but makes me silent eh.. beer helps me focus only on manual work, but turns me at least into the 'normal' person socially.
@@a420dro I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor/Therapist as well as a Musician, Songwriter, and arts-n'-crafts maverick. TBH taking my prescribed Dopamine & Norepinephrine Anti-depressant with a prescribed stimulant medication (appropriately), has helped me finish and time the several projects and pieces that I start. Typically, I'll have like 10 or more things I'm working on at the same time, and it's difficult to finish them due to the constant loss of focus, motivation and anxieties via RSD. I'm the same way normally with THC and Alcohol. Also, when I got used to my medication, I ended up naturally not wanting to use rec. substances as much. I think it is because I was getting the mental steadiness and release, I was hoping for physically and mentally through my medication. Word of caution, every person's body chemistry is different...it takes some trial and error as well as patience to find what works best for you. A recommendation (look into) "Genesight Testing: genesight.com/ . God Speed Ahead!
@@a420dro It produces the ability to buffer / queue tasks in your head. Furthermore it gives you the ability to stop and think before acting - something most people have the ability to do but ADHD kinda just... doesn't. Also it makes starting a task you don't want to do way easier, which means it's basically a giant 'motivation' booster. ADHD is sometimes jokingly compared to erectile dysfunction of the brain - doesn't matter how badly you want to do something, it's not a willpower thing. Meds make your willpower actually hold sway over doing things like it should.
Everyone reacts differently to different medications and treatments, so find what works for you.
But as someone in their mid-30s who's been on meds since they were in preschool I literally cannot function like an adult off of them. They're not addictive - in fact forgetting to take them or refill your prescription is the main hurdle with them, but they can create a dependency because you don't have to use coping mechanisms every day to do basic tasks. So, that said, if you're used to using those coping mechanisms, then this shouldn't be an issue. However, it will feel like putting on glasses and seeing the world clearly, and you'll likely not want to go without because of it. I mean, a person with glasses can absolutely function without them. But ask people with glasses if they'd intentionally choose not to wear them and go back to blurry vision as a default and I promise none of them will say yes seriously.
As a woman who has had adhd all of my life- I felt so seen, validated and personally attacked all at once.😂
Right??? Also, I got so excited when his wife said, "It worked!" about her squirrel ladder, I, a 45 yr old woman, squealed "YES!" and did a victory fist pump for what I believe is definitely the first time in my life, although I admit I am often wrong about that kind of thing when I'm So Totally Present In The Moment that all other moments have apparently ceased to exist🤔
Saaaaaaame
I am the same way. I praise my husband every day for putting up with me.
Same here
It came in waves...and now the waves cause hot flashes!!!
What's more amazing than his comedy is seeing how far along he has come with his stutter. You wouldn't even know he had one!
Ikkkk I thought I was the only one who noticed
I thought the very same thing!
I thought maybe but then wasn't sure if it was the act
As someone with ADHD and autism, with a girlfriend (who if we wanted marriage would be my wife) who is also autistic, and this is sooooo spot on. Life is sweet beautiful chaotic love. Great standup Drew. The best 45 mins spent watching a 15 minute video while crying in laughter.
As a woman with ADHD I started watching this around 7pm and was cracking up when I got sidetracked, so paused the video on my tablet. At 3am when I woke I started listening again… and felt personally attacked. So 100% accurate 🤣😂😆. Well done sir.
I totally felt called out, but had to pause it to make a sandwich.
You Have ADD, no such thing as ADHD anymore. They changed it
@@SooSmokieno, it’s the other way around. “ADHD - Inattentive type” is now what they call what used to be labeled as ADD. The disorder is still a thing, they just changed it’s label.
@@staciecarrel4492 Ahh, yep I had it backwards. weird since it should be ADD as not all with ADHD are hyper.
But yeah still same illness, just has changed the diagnoses and terms a little
Omg... same!!!!!
As an ADHD wife all I can say is...this is scary accurate. I showed this to my husband and he accused me of being married to Drew. Hahaha!
He shouldctry comedy himself. lol. this tore me up
You aren’t wrong…
Just sent this to my sister, the only one of two family witnesses left of the ADHD. Sister has memories of critter salvation home building attempt memories. Started with my top drawer nest for bugs. This is so spot on.
ADHD doesn't exist though.... even more scary!!!
@@leavemyrightsalone Well we need to call dis-regulation of the RAS leading to dual-activation of the DMN and TPN something, so ADHD or some other name for the rose that is to your liking.
BTW I am ADHD and have the full set of symptoms with caffeine paradoxical reaction and was diagnosed when it was still HADD in the DSM, so not one of the trendy over-diagnosed.
This was HA-larious and healing for me at the same time. I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult but I've had it my whole life. I pray there's someone out there for me as you're there for your wife. I mean, you walked back to the well with her to put the ladder, with note, for the squirrel. That's the kind of love I'm waiting for. So, thanks for giving me hope...and laughing till I almost peed myself. 😅😂
I hate to break it to you but u can't not have it your whole life😭 our brain structure is different
@@lumix1186you either have it your whole life or you dont have it all, it a fundamental difference in how your brain works.
How can you both miss her point? You can absolutely have ADHD and NOT be diagnosed until adulthood. Just because you aren't being treated for 30-50 years doesn't mean you have a neurotypical brain.
As someone with ADHD, I think this is the most accurate and also loving description of ADHD from someone who does not have it.
“It looks like etsy took a shit in our house”
That’s how you know this is a true story I honestly can’t think of a shorter sentence that sums up ADHD hyperfixation perfectly
🎉😭🐿️😮
😂😆🤪
Jesus Christ that was a funny set! I have ADHD, love squirrels, and my apt. definitely often looks like etsy shit everywhere - that was some accurate comedy!
Our favorite hobby is collecting hobbies!
Yep, I feel attacked 😂
My mom and my best friend both have ADHD, and "I was going to do a load of laundry" made perfect, immediate sense to me.
my mom, my dad, me and my best friend have ADHD XD
@@GBfanatic15I have adhd badly my mom while she was out asked me to take out the garbage and I got to the door before I noticed “hmmmm the entrance looks dirty I better sweep” witch led me on a four hour adventure that led me to me sweeping the whole house then wiping all the counters and mowing the lawn before I realized I never took the bag out
❤
@@hanspotterman4875sounds good though! Can you come here and help train my children to keep Cleaning 😅
I have it and 3 of my long term exes did… I have never resonated so hard with a joke as the laundry thing.
"Who's toddler am I babysitting right now?"🤣I feel so called out here😂😅
When he started talking about distractions, squirrel rescues and rocks. I was like wait a minute....am I your wife?! 😂lol she sounds awesome by the way I would totally love to hang out with her. We could continue to make popsicles stick ladders to save the squirrels even if it means sacrificing every single shoe in his house. I'm in!
The leaving a room and losing all memory of that room is so tragically real 😭
Yeah, even you remind yourself.... ok I won't forget.... it only takes 2 seconds
Me everyday 😂
I'm deeply ADHD, and I have no idea how non-ADHD people live with us. I am deeply grateful to know that ADHD people and non-ADHD can peacefully co-exist.
Yea i think yall are alright ❤ (Well mostly theres assholes on every spectrum)
Yes, my fiance does. And you def have to readjust how to live in accordance. But I love him deeply no matter what, just gotta readjust
Agree. And I have no idea how I would live without my neurotypical husband. The house is clean. There’s groceries AND toilet paper before we run out. He has an INTERNAL sense of time. It’s all some dark magic, I’m sure of it!
Yeah I feel bad for anyone I live with. Sometimes I feel like an alien trying to explain why I do what I do.
Non ADHD people-oriented exist with us. They just tell themselves that they don't have the energy to deal with us so they just leave us to our Tornado thoughts.
The getting distracted and forgetting what youre doing is almost not even an exaggeration 😂😂
I went through this with my ex. I have it as well but I have worked out a system that helps me and keeps me from inconveniencing other people. It's really true, some people don't believe it's real until they marry someone who has it. I had a roommate who used to try to tell me to make lists and I would tell her, it's not going to help me because I won't remember the list is there. Then she tried to say that I'm just undisciplined. I moved out shortly after that because I was tired of her constantly implying that I was lazy and basically having something to say about every facet of my life.
She sounds like a Virgo, lol.
What is the system? I feel like it is lists...
+1 to asking what the system is
@@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight I'm a virgo with ADHD and I'm still trying to figure out how that even works.
@@mscharleeann I was talking about the roommate she had.
You're a Virgo with ADHD? Lol, that's gotta be extra hard! Not being able to measure time, but needing to be super punctual, needing everything (and everyone) to be perfect and nitpick and try to control every little detail, needing to keep your home and everything spotless, and never being able to do all this perfectly (or waste too much time in hyper focus doing it), and then comes that typical self judgment the Virgo naturally has that will be enhanced with ADHD. Damn, I feel ya!
This is so exact. Walk into another room and "Ahh...the world is my oyster!" 😂❤😂
😂
My parents literally gave me a room for all my unfinished projects. Looking back i realized what an awesome parents they were for putting up with a crazy child like me. I did painting, drawing, paper mache, knitting, sewing clothes, painting on shoes, on bags, on shirts, I played piano, violin, guitar, recorder, and ukulele, I sing, dance, do taekwondo, play video games, and collects hardbound books, hero figurines, hot wheels, and barbies. It was like I had a different dream every week and my parents supported me for it, they saw it as a sign of a brilliant kid, a jack of all trades. If i were my parents I wouldn't have the patience to deal with a kid like me
You and your parents sound awesome! 🎉❤
I call that a "learning circuit" keep rotating and if you don't stop you eventually come back to square one, improve on each project segment and keep going until all the projects are done. Although that usually takes the whole weekend.
:)
A Polymath! Commonly unable to finish projects because the new ones just keep coming...
Not necessarily ADHD!
😊
Have you thanked her for being a master multitasker? This woman sounds perfect and I already love her.
This is so truly spot on. So many projects, so little time.
Thats what Pinterest is for!🎉
Woman with adhd the 'cleaning' bit is 100% accurate. From the table to the coffee mug, vaccume to shirtless coffee sopping... completely accurate. 😅
I had 1000 flashbacks of different times my ex-husband walked into find me in similar states of 'cleaning' 😂
😂😂
As he got to that part I was carrying my phone and an armload of clean laundry. I noticed an open container of juice on the coffee table and had to pick it up and close it so it didn't get spilled accidentally. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to go to the store for paper towels 😂
@lajoyous1568 it's nice to have have representation 🤣😂🙃
“Entering the new room.” 100% accurate.
The fact that he doesn't stutter that much anymore is absolutely amazing. He found his calling and it help him tremendously.
This is my first time in a long time seeing anything regarding him and I noticed that. I was like "wow, he's changed!" It's neat.
He actually started years before the incident that caused his stutter. I am glad and grateful it didn't kill his career! 😅 If anything, it seems to have enhanced it lol . 😊 His spirit is truly incredible.
He has a speech therapist We’re all human guys
He's not especially happy when people bring that up. Just enjoy the jokes.
@@WouldntULikeToKnow.No!!
best description ever for adhd. they are hard to handle but they never lose the joy of life. Sometimes I am so jealous of them.
Aside from the exaggerated memory loss, this is entirely accurate 😂
As a woman with ADHD married to a “normal” guy, I can say this is 💯 true. My husband felt soooo validated. 😂
Yes🤣
Thanks for the heads up. I was going to share this with my boyfriend, but it may empower him to call me out on my daily behavior even more. He claims my whole day is thrown off course if I hear a bird tweet. It was never on course anyway.
I kept wanting to see what his wife was going to do next. I felt a connection to her. It made me feel empathy because she cares so deeply. I know some may not get this. She cares about everything all at once, so its hard to get anything done. I love the part about how she rescued the squirrel!
My adhd makes me the same way. She’s most likely ring of fire type adhd.
I'm so much like that too
I think I've found my tribe!
I found them!! I found my people!
"Everything Everywhere All At Once" (2022)
Howled my adult daughter has it...severly. Laughed and snorted so hard..... Thanks..stunningly accurate description.
This is my daughter… I laughed so hard. Her comment was he better be careful when he goes home😂😂😂
As a fellow ADHD person your wife sounds amazing I want to be her friend.
Me too even I also adhd
@@harvanshpalsinghbali I need someone with your sense of humor to keep me laughing at myself. Usually people think 'What's wrong with you?". Thanks for stories that are close to my crazy thought processes. I am not alone.
Me too. I've watched this like seven times and laughed every single time the first time I might have have cried I think it's completely normal. And there's a reason for everything I do and how I will arrive there 3 hours late but I will arrive and most likely with an interesting anecdote that happened along the way.
me too she sounds really sweet ❤
We all needa ADHD gc 😭😭😭😭
I have ADHD, and I could relate to so much of this, even the rock collecting, but when he said that his wife started dancing when he stuttered on the word stressed, I busted out laughing until tears were pouring out of my eyes.
And that whole story is TRUE 😮
@@TheDrewLynchI have ADHD. I wholeheartedly believe you.
Bro I will dance to ANY rhythm
ADHDer here. I danced the exact same way he depicted. It was a pretty sick beat, babe.
@@Midgetmunky13 it was SUCH a sick beat, I started dancing too then fell about laughing when he said his wife did 😂
Drew has brought light to my life with his hilarious comedy. He's one of my favorite comedians - and trust me, the list is short! He has helped our family find humor in moments that used to be overwhelming. Keep being awesome, Drew!
"I feel so grounded" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
I think you can only truly appreciate how hilarious this is if you have ADHD or experience with ADHD because even though I’m super picky with standup, I legit cried tears of laughter throughout his ADHD set
Same here!! My husband has been telling me for years he thinks I have this. Hearing this makes me think I do, but ....
I laughed so hard I cried lol I’m ADHD too and he’s exactly right!
I have mascara tears from this set LOL! I have ADHD and I related so hard to his wife! I legit did collect rocks as kid and I love collecting crystals (though I don't believe they have special powers, I just think they're very pretty). And I do talk to animals in my yard, squirrels included.. 🤣
lmfao i laughed SO HARD it was SO RELATEABLE on how he just called us out XD
So true. Saw myself the entire time.
My favorite part of the living with the ADHD-er puzzle is when they start telling you something or asking a question, but they haven't included you in the conversation they had in their head leading up to it.
I have to work out, based on what we've talked about in the last few days what the pronouns in their sentences might be. They've mentally gone through points A-F without me, brought me in at G, now I have to work backwards to figure out what B is.
It’s surprising how many conversations need to start with “did I tell you X?” between beloved and I. We are both guilty of this, and the reverse of having the conversation and not remembering anything from it.
It just hit me why folks think I'm weird?
Just learn to play Candyland and you'll unlock all the mysteries to the ADHD-er's mind. 🍬🗺
😂😂😂
@@vanb8797 I hate that that makes sense. XD
I just watched your agt audition, and I get teary every time, dangit. I'm proud of how far you have come, Drew
As someone married to someone with ADHD, I too have told my wife, "I could do stand up, & it would be 100% just telling them about what you do all day. They'd put put me on Netflix in a month."
All true - with ADHD, getting "lucky" means going to the kitchen & remembering why.
Hard to believe Drew (merely witnessing, never having ADHD) so accurately described exactly how life feels with ADHD.
...A detective discovering their own crimes - hysterical and precise!
Must've talked to her a lot about it.
I bet he has it too.
As someone with ADHD, this is so freaking true. If I do not have music going on while I'm working, I cannot stay on task. Every part of this is so accurate. LMAO!
U noticied improvement with music to, i was finally able 2 read a book when i put mysic in the background. B4 that i would get distracted n reread the same paragraph over n over
@@mattw6399 music and background noise are a necessity. Just to be able to quiet my mind enough to sleep, I have to have rain and thunder sounds going. TH-cam has some great ambiance videos for sleep and study focus. It definitely helps.
Omgggg is this why I can’t get house chores done without some kind of sound static;such as music or podcast?!?
@mattw6399 omg I become so angry and grit my teeth when I do this but I fear I'm worse as ill do it with 1 or 2 sentences over and over.
I'm that way with videos/audio books. I need some sort of mentally stimulating thing going on or I can't get anything done. But then it's such a minefield to get through to said video/audiobook without getting distracted by all of the other things. (case and point, me right now 🤣)
That is a perfect description of how i live my life. I laughed so hard i cried. Hilarious!! Thank you.
I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with ADHD. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
My son has ADHD, his growing up years were....well....interesting. Now he has made it his super power and has a very successful career. He is a very good man and I am so very proud of him.
What did he choose as his career? 🥺 ADHDer here would be very thankful if you could share. ❤ 🙏
How'd he make it his super power?
You make your academics the subject of your hyperfocus, enabling you to study for days on end. The trade-off of this seems to be the fact that my grades have become my entire personality 🤣
@@ninimry3025 exactly what my childhood best friend did. He had a thing for math, he took BS Math
Yeah Meth is big with ADHD 😅
As much as i feel attacked on a personal level.... I was SCREAMING laughing through the cleaning the living room to the kitchen bit. 🤣
The detective/murderer combo…
I said the same, like oh no its over, once you move in any direction away from the focus at the time lol.
@@TheDrewLynch on fucking point lmao. Late diagnosis here 🙋♂️
It’s so great to see Drew blow up from some thing that he couldn’t control and now he’s doing better at controlling it and he’s really getting to thrive because he’s just that damn talented❤
The last sentence is a burn 🔥🔥🔥 😂😂😂😂
as someone that has autism and was the 'wierd quiet/emo kid' in school, and had a adhd bestfriend that was the 'other wierd kid' that bit especially made me laugh. we both did horsebackriding so we would pretend out hands were horses and play pretend that way. i think our teacher either hated or adored us
As someone with both ADHD and autism (and dyspraxia) neurodivergent friendships are the best thing
As a teacher with Adhd, i can tell you that you and your friend were both adored and annoying at the same time. Those weird friend couples are incredibly funny to see but they tend to disrupt the class a bit.
Was the weird ADHD kid when i was young. ❤
I'm ADHD and my bff all thru school was a goth kid on the Autism spectrum. Both of us were diagnosed as adults, and I can confirm this is exactly how we interacted the first couple times. I was 100% cracked out asking all kinds of questions because she had a Good Charlotte Tshirt and I thought it looked cool.
We made a weird pair, but a good weird pair. Idk what it is but ADHD and the Autism spectrum go together like PB&J.
Omg, I could have been your friend, and your friends friend too.
@@clueless_cutieI am guessing it's the novelty. Neurotypical is just too normal. And ADHD finds normal boring. The weird kid, well, that's different, something new, let's figure it out!
As a woman with ADHD, I loved this!!. This clip had me dead on. Unfortunately, I was married to someone who was not as understanding of my issue. I spent 19 years with someone who was often frustrated and disappointed with me and my actions, which decimated my self-esteem and self- worth. Now, I’m happier than ever.
I worry that experiences like yours are going to cause the public to think "boys don't like girls who are neurodivergent"
If you could go back in time, how would you help your younger self? How could your teachers helped you?
I imagine what you're saying--without actually saying it--is that you dumped that insensitive person and found a situation that was so much better.
Aww, well good on you! I'm glad you're living your best ADHD life!
You're not ADHD, you're a woman. Get a grip.
As someone who stutters myself, seeing yours improve over the years is really refreshing. So many people think a stutter is just there for life
He's done really well with it, hasn't he? I'm glad he mentioned it. The President of the U.S. has also dealt with a stutter his whole life. It's important kids and adults who deal with these things see that they don't HAVE to be limited in life by their limitations. 😊
I howled with laughter throughout. As a woman with ADHD, all the jokes made me feel seen, but the last one hit home so hard. My husband occasionally stutters, and once when he was stuck on a word, I turned it into a rap song and started dancing. He was not happy, and I had to explain that I wasn’t making fun of him, that the sound just triggered that thought, and that’s where my brain went. I felt so bad for doing it, and yet I still laughed until I cried at Drew’s experience.
I relate... i am the mom (non-adhd).. my son is adult son is adhd and growing up he would hyperfix on accents or how i said a certain word and he'd mimic it over and over.. took me a while to realize that he wasn't making fun of how i said things... Now that he is 30, he does accents really well and can quote some hilarious movie lines.
Thank you for this- our 17 year old hyperfixates on accents and words and perseverates until we are all losing our minds. I had no idea this was part of ADHD.
@@rachelsanders4913 ❤❤It very much is. I'm from the U.S. and my husband is from the UK, and I have had to really work hard to not imitate his accent all the time because it makes him feel like he's being made fun of, which is not the case at all.
I also have moments where just a word hits, and my brain latches on to how odd the word sounds, regardless of whether I or someone else says it. I once used the word "toward" in the middle of a conversation and my brain noticed it was a weird sounding word, so I started saying it in various ways rather than completing the sentence. I knew what was going on in my head, but to others I looked like I had broken and was just standing there going "tword, tord, toowaard, twaaard, twooord."
Oh my goodness I'm sorry for laughing so hard at this I may go to hell but this scenario vividly played in my head
My boyfriend also has ADHD so we just start singing together 🤣
As someone also married to a wife with ADHD this hits SO close to home I couldn't stop laughing the whole time
True story
I’m going to start a support group for us
As an ADHD wife I have never felt so heard and understood 😂
A little too close to home. 😅
I am the ADHD wife and as soon as you said projects unfinished I immediately sent it to my husband because I knew I would forget if I didn't do it right then. I've already started my living room cleaning, but was watching videos. Time to clean the kitchen. 😂😂😂 And I have rocks too, and art projects everywhere. **For all the men that love us- we are sorry, and thank you. But at least you will never get bored!❤**
He may be joking, but it's also the truth. Being one of the people with ADHD I go through this every day.
Very talented comedian right here. I’ve watched him when he first started stand up and I’ll tell you now I’m so effin happy seeing how well he’s worked on his speech epitome he use to studder a lot more but he always was able to continue the joke just spot on and people would be laughing their butts off everytime.
I wish this guy even more success than he is now he deserves it.
God bless.
As someone with ADHD - I felt called out while simultaneously laughing so hard tears were streaming down my face. Well executed!
Same! 🎉
Same
Yah me to 😂
As a HUMAN we can all relate. You are not special because you have trouble focusing.. we all do. Most of us just dont need a doctor to tell us we are "sick" in some way. Bullshit.
1000%, When he was talking about the collection of projects I looked around my room and thought about the 50 odd and end collection I have all in various degrees of completion and laughed, crazy thing is I didn't realize I had ADHD till last year, it makes soooo much sense.
My boyfriend and I both have ADHD. You’d think we would cancel each other out, but no, we just put each other through it at twice the amount.
Yes
Ha! Same! And we have a kid with it and a dog, she's a border collie! It's a mess around here. Figuratively and literally!
Why would I think that you would cancel each other out? That's what absolutely No one would think.
Omg, THE STRUGGLE IS REAALLL!
How do y'all manage it? 😅
Our silver lining is we're both combined types-- I'm hyper dominant, whereas he's my inattentive space-case-- and the yin and yang dynamic at least makes it ftmp manageable. lol
Wish they had more books on couples who BOTH have it!
If both people have it, it would be hard to finish the book. But the first 29 chapters would be worth the price of admission! 📚
Bro you nailed it! You just described my life😂😂😂😂
Oh my gosh, his wife is ME! I don’t feel so odd now! Many people are just not as kind and understanding to me as this man is to his wife. So happy they found one another 😊.
To us (ADHD-ers) it’s a completely normal thought process lol but to hear it from someone else’s point of view then I am dying laughing 🤣
I am constantly reminded my brain does not work in a manner that makes sense. It is frustrating for me, even when I know to make allowances for myself. It was, however, such a relief to get diagnosed.
Oh man, then having to explain the context of everything, lol
@@lbyerly I was saying something to my aunt about needing to sleep because I had to go to Mississauga (city where my college is) to watch Psycho and she looked at me like I'd lost my mind. I'm taking a class on horror movies for context, I wouldn't watch it under my own choosing
My daughter has ADHD. However, she was not the weird kid. She was quiet in class and would destress once she got home, which was such a joy.😳 Some girls with ADHD do not want to get in trouble so they are hyper vigilant to be good in class.
That’s my brand of ADHD. now I am in my mid-thirties and a feral shut in 😂
This was me. Now I’m like this dude’s wife. No more masking.
Yep! Definitely manifests differently between boys and girls. I'm diagnosed with it. I'm convinced a handful of my 6 kids have it and definitely different from boys to girls.
That was me! The inattentive, quiet, over achiever who would do weird stuff at home 😅
@@TheCannyMagpie Yep! 😂😅
This is so hysterically accurate, my wife has ADHD and I have ADD. we have double the chaos and manage to work within our own madness lol
My _whole_ family is like this. We're _great_ fun at parties! There's never a dull moment with the -Jones- Geralds'! 🤣🤣
As a female with ADHD and a successful project manager it’s hilarious. My personal and professional life is not the same. Literally everything you said it was like you are my husband dealing with me. I have my own “area” for crafts or project it’s hard but I’m proud of my self for keeping it clean,organized and “out of sight”
HOW do you keep stuff organized, PLEASE tell me lol 🤣
@@gabrieleomaggio1461 first acknowledge your system will have to be changed and updated once in a while, acknowledge & accept you will mess up, allow yourself to forgive your mistakes. Then start. Professionally: I write everything down in one note, have a visual tracking I created (very manual) for my dashboards that need to be created with the checklist inside of it. Then if I have questions I just do it because honestly I need to understand or else my stakeholders won’t get the right products.
For personal: I have the “bucket” system. I bought a big enough bucket for all my nail supplies (can place smaller boxes in it) that can be put away. My bathroom has buckets for daily need vs emergency need. Clothes (the whole process) takes a week for me as I try to organize my clothes once a quarter. If it’s something “important” keep it in sight to keep it in mind. I have a trip soon so my calendar is open to it and my bag I’m using for packing is under my table to remind me.
These are examples that work for me. Others may have different ways. Also factor in what “mess” you allow yourself to be in and what will cause you to melt down. That’s a big one so I ask my husband for help when I am getting to that point. It’s all about understanding and trying to find what works for you. :)
@@sw33t3t3nitythat is pure genius. I'm not the one who asked the question. But I'm incredibly grateful you answered it.
I’m also an project manager with ADHD, I can relate to your comment
OMG there are MORE PMs with ADHD?!
This is so spot on! Been married to an unmedicated adhd woman for over 10 years and you need to laugh to keep from going insane with her.
Wish you could talk to my wife.. she sometimes don't laugh, she just gets mad at me.
Depends on how someone laughs "about me" I don't do good with people laughing at me or making fun of me.
But it can bother me, and upset me, that my wife is mad at me and it's like.. I can't help it. We've had some big arguments over the years.. it's a wonder to me sometimes why we are together or why she's put up with me this long.. then I think to myself.. it's probably because no other man would put up with her or do as much as I already do for her.
Same if unmedicated ADHD husband!
All I got from this, (being an INTP ADHD man nerd with an ENTP power wife), was that his wife must be hot as hell!
you sound like my fiancé who got tired of my shit and now just laughs it off
Okay, so what advice should i give my husband? 😂
This is what my husband lives with. I have 10 alarms in my phone before 9 am just to keep me on track for waking up, taking my meds, waking the kids and getting them ready for the bus and getting to work.
I've been diagnosed with ADHD since 3rd grade, and he was extremely on point. People joke about being easily distracted, but it is an unholy hell that takes so much effort to the point of exhaustion, just to somewhat function on a daily basis.
"I was gonna do a load of laundry" sent me over
Me listening to that as I change & wash my bedsheets at 6AM (I did not sleep):
"she was gone for 4 days and 3 nights - I don't know my wife" 😂😂
SAME 😂😂😂 I have a load of scrubs from work that I’ve been trying to hang up for 3 days now 💀
As a teen with ADHD, with two siblings diagnosed with it as well as being on the autism spectrum, and a mom we inherited all this stuff from, this was amazing and we all loved it. The funniest thing is that my dad, who is neurotypical, laughed the loudest and most often. (That is how we talk when we get really hyper...)
me * has started writing over 20 books during my spare time cuz I was bored *
also me * nas finished a grand total of one of them *
Also, they're not just any rocks. They are shiny or sparkly or colorful or simply nicely shaped rocks.
I mean, I love crystals - and anything sparkly, to be honest. But I also take home interesting regular ol' rocks too.
they're minerals
@@exostatics Jesus christ, Marie!
@@levityoflonging22 lmaoo
I have it, my daughter and son have it. I can say with honesty that we talk like this, collect rocks, start or plan out hundreds of projects between the three of us, and are erratic cleaners. 💯💯💯
(The squirrel ladder was a new one, though we do tend to feed every stray that comes our way no matter what species🤷🏻♀️.)
As a wife, a mom, and an ever-determined to be successful ADHD'er.... I literally cried and just peed my pants a bit from laughing so f**⁉️❌**n hard!!! 😂😂😂
So funny because this scenario has played out in my house 100❌ over! To those of us that have been able to overcome these intense, strange, yet very real urges, I applaud you... And to those who haven't, don't worry... You will one day my fellow
🎉 A🩷D♥️H💜D💚 'ers 🎉
I needed this so much, brilliant!! Love your wife
When I was a kid I was diagnosed by my doctor with ADD. ADD and ADHD used to be two sperate diagnoses but after further study, it became more acurate to refer to them as Inatentive ADHD, Hyperactive ADHD, or combined ADHD. Its all the same thing, the differentiation is just based on your symptoms. Just to avoid the spread of misinformation.
Yes! Often, as in my case, the hyperactivity is not visible... It is not physical activity, but rather it is my brain that is hyperactive. It is never not busy, no matter how hard I try, it is impossible for me to "clear my mind". This guy hysterically described a day in the life of me!
Right?! Like that first joke didn't hit AT ALL because it's just not true.
😮😮ohhh wowie wow wow wow
Oh no not misinformation!!!
Okay but isn’t it funny when only people say you have ADD and I’m like no babe that’s it’s creepy uncle I got AD4K
As someone with ADHD who has to deal with people self diagnosing themselves via TikTok who have no idea how difficult is actually is to have an executive function disorder like ADHD, Tourettes, or Autism.. This is the most accurate depiction of what it's actually like I have seen. This is amazing.
Try...ADHD, Autism and ptsd all wrapped into one. The tiktok vids on you tube make me cry. I can't get help. Then outsiders say...but you look fine! 😢 you're just eccentric! Etc.
Seeeee, I can’t complain too much because the reason I even went to get diagnosed is cause of tik tok compilations that TH-cam randomly recommended to me. And then y’a know, I went “oh shit”, did outside research and went “OH SHIT” and then got diagnosed with adhd. After waiting almost a year 😂
@@gergyta9211 somehow i ended up reading "after walking for almost a year" .....thanks brain
Woooaaaahhhhh
I need to stop reading the comments someone help me I need to do work but nooooo I need to read every individual comment
I laughed so hard I was crying and was gasping for air, this is spot on! This is us lol 😆 😂 🤣 This is hilarious af! Spot on!
Thank you for the first good laugh of 2024!
As someone who has adhd, this is not exaggerated. Our attention span does not exist and our memory just decides to leave every now and then.
We see everything but remember little.
Yes! I am not sure if my memory is worse, or I just notice and worry about it more now that I am older.
Correction: our attention span does not exist unless it's for something like learning about random possum fun facts at three AM or surfing through the net for new hyperfocus supplies
@@magdam1508 i agree. I know a-lot of shit that know one else cares to know. But it makes me happy.
As a woman with ADHD, I feel both validated and attacked by this. I love squirrels 12:03
I literally wondered if he even likes his wife, as I cried tears of laughter about my own damn self.
Squirrel 🐿️😂😅😢
This could have been a story about my own life. I love that you love her and embrace/endure the chaos, because we can't help it.
Hilarious and dead on. I am glad my husband understands me. I pick music for my therapy as it makes me rock to that beat instead of all the beats inside my head!
The whole bit was funny but the wife dancing at his stutter had me hollering. 😂😂😂 that part got me crying laughing
I was looking through the comments and spoiled myself for what was to come but I still went through the whole thing... spoiling myself did absolutely nothing as I had that exact reaction, except my laugh was just air, no sound, and I was crying.
I would 100% do that 😂
The ADHD in me knew she was going to dance 😂
🤣🤣 I screamed, dying over here 🤣🤣
It's even better listening to this while in the middle of 5 different pending cleaning tasks.
While also baking a loaf of bread and setting up grocery pickup. 😅😂😂
His wife is one of the Most Awesome people on the planet
I was watching this six months ago. I am now dating someone diagnosed with ADHD...
An unexpected turn of events...
this woman is living her BEST FRIKEN LIFE!!!!!!! As a woman with ADHD I wish I could live this life with a husband who can laugh with her rather than at her.
O my god yes. I realized that hiring cleaners is cheaper than marriage counseling.
I laughed WAY too hard at all of this. 😂😂😂😂😂
My husband is ADHD, as are 3 of our 4 children. They used to drive me insane and I'd get mad that I couldn't "fix" them. But somewhere along the years I started appreciating their ADHD differences and now, 35 years later, I absolutely LOVE the way they are and wouldn't change a thing about any of them. ❤❤❤❤
As a mom with adhd who has a son with adhd.. thank you :)
I hope my husband will come around to your point of view, he has accepted it and deals with it as best as he can, but fails to recognise the positive things it does for us (not refusing, just not..grasping).
Thanks for making me laugh at myself. Pure gold. Have to share w/family who don't get me at all. 😅😊😀☺️😃
Definitely a trail of broken dreams!!
I literally, I mean literally, fell on the floor I was laughing so hard! The guy just described me. Also, (without giving away the bit, so I will speak in code) I'm a dance instructor. So guess what I was doing... Yeah.
BRILLIANT comedy, just subscribed ❤️
As an ADHD wife, married to… wait for it… an ADHD guy, I was so blown away by the accuracy of this! This is MY LIFE… doing hundreds things at the same time… and my change of focus collides with his totally opposite change of focus, oh my!!!
Thats interesting. Please tell me what the difference between your and his focus is. I have ADHD too 😊
The cure is the carnivore diet. Try it and you'll be normal.
You guys are super annoying!!!!!!
Wow. 😮
Not sure if I'm going to show this to my girlfriend. Very very close to the mark.
The progress he's made on his stutter since being on AGT is incredible! I almost didn't remember he had one until going back to his first AGT.
Notice he doesn’t poke fun at stutteriers
@@laurieoberg5506 Very true; I have yet to hear him do that. He probably never will, he knows firsthand what it's like. I used to have a pretty significant stutter as well, when I was young, just to a lesser extent, and I also got over it later in life.
Oooh, that's where I know his name from! Wow, he's completely stutter-free now!
Probably made the stutter up for sympathy points
@@EriBarr nope. Baseball head/ throat injury. He has a video where he explains it.
Holy s$#@ i haven't laughed this hard in a while and as a woman, mother and wife with ADHD I am sooooo exactly like your wife!!! LMFAO!!! 😂😂😂😅😅 I had to pause it and have my husband watch it with me and from the beginning!!! You are so damn funny and the jokes are just continuous, which is awesome. And I just downloaded a bunch of your specials to watch. Keep the jokes coming, your extremely talented 👏 👌 👍 🙌... Been a fan since the beginning and will without a doubt continue to be a fan!! Also congratulations on your marriage!! ❤
I remember seeing you on AGT years ago. Wow! So happy to see you’re still making people laugh.
