I actually pretty recently told my mom I wanted to take an ADHD test because I kept relating a lot to stuff claimed as ADHD, like stuff stated in this video. Then she told me that I already took one years ago and was officially diagnosed with it and I had just…..forgotten that.

My sister has ADHD. Media SUCKS at depicting ADHD. It’s not just one thing. It’s so stupid seeing ADHD treated like it’s a singular thing and that there’s not so many different ways that people with it handle things. I’ll have to show this video to her. Awesome job, Andy!

Them: “Stay still for 30 minutes” Me: “But I can fidget right?”

Walking in circles talking to myself is literally a daily activity. I too have ADHD and if I'm alone I NEED to do it occasionally.

As a fellow inattentive ADHDer I felt so represented by the walking in circles talking to yourself thing.

As a person with ADHD, if I can get one thing done in a day, that is an accomplishment in of itself.

As a fellow inattentive adhd person, it took me 20 minutes to watch the entire video bc I got distracted

finally someone who does the same thing. i suspect adhd, im not diagnosed but i loose focus quickly, forget the things i did 10 seconds ago and sometimes i walk around in circles talking to myself for a solid 15 minutes

As someone with ADHD, the walking around in circles and talking to myself is the most relatable thing I have heard about ADHD

I think the "walking in circles talking out loud" thing is partially based on the fact that it makes it easier to reflect on issues and form more coherent strings of thought than if you were to do it just in your mind where things quickly get muddled and confusing. At least that's what it's like for me, even though I don't think I have ADHD. I like talking out loud to myself about things a lot because it's just easier to stay on topic.

I got diagnosed with ADHD 23 years ago as a teenage. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. 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.

Why do i relate with a lot of his symptoms? Like the tabs and talking to themselves

I didn't get diagnosed until my mid 50's because ADHD wasn't a thing you could get diagnosed with when I was a kid. Every report card I got throughout elementary school commented about my absent mindedness and my daydreaming in class. Once I got into middle school it was all about my forgetfulness, tardiness, and how I wasn't living up to my potential. I grew up hearing how lazy and undisciplined I was and had no idea that my issues weren't character flaws. I'm so glad young people at least don't have to go through that particular brand of bullshit anymore.

I’m currently under the process of being diagnosed for ADHD. Coming from hispanic parents, I’ve always been told that i tend to be lazy or too scared to do things when in reality my brain just doesn’t cooperate with me unless it’s super urgent or art related. It’s funny that I intended to watch this video moments after it got posted but i immediately forgot and put it off for later x)

My form of ADHD which is also inattentive mostly has me going down endless rabbit holes and if there is no rabbit hole I create one and then jump down it

I have adhd the hyperactive type. If I don’t get medication in the morning I start recreating random meme sound effects in class (I’m really good at impressions) and everyone just looks at me. I’m actually smart and I grew up loving math and science because the more you know, the more everything just fits together, and I love that feeling. Especially in math. Idc if finding the derivative of an equation is gonna affect my life but it’s fun when everything fits together and you arrive at the solution nicely.

Although I was technically diagnosed with adhd at the age of 8 or 9, I somehow just forgot my mom telling me about it so I proceeded to go 7-8 years questioning why the hell my 30 min hw assignments took me 5 hours to do and why I would get excited to pull up songs I like, only to immediately forget the name of it as I was typing it into the search bar. It was only during an annual where my doctor just off handly mentioned that "oh yeah hormones and the adhd are what's probably causing the mood changes" to which I'm just sitting there like, "....I have adhd?" and my mother just looks at me like I'm the dumbest mf on the planet. She insists she told me repeatedly, on both the day I was diagnosed and multiple times after my therapy sessions, but all I remember from that early on was playing with blue sand with my therapist and organizing the plushies on her shelf. Thank you for coming to my TEDTALK.

this is the most accurate description of people diagnosed with adhd in the past 10 years. it’s just like “..oh!” after years and years of probably crying yourself to sleep sometimes cause you couldn’t understand why you couldn’t do everything other people could. it’s really awesome to hear about this again! it reminds me of all the people out there who get it too! stay frosty, ice cream

The ADHD blanks are wild, especially if you are aware of this thing that happens to you and you watched DR WHO and we’re made aware of the wearing angles or the creatures that when you see them you don’t remember them
