Great video. You mentioned a topic that interests me a lot -- eating and ADHD. I was just diagnosed with ADHD in my 50s. But guess what? I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes 5 years before the ADHD diagnosis. I believe they are related. Starting in my teens, I would binge on high sugar snacks -- not because I was hungry or liked the taste, but because of how ingesting sugar made me feel. If only UA-cam existed back then, I might have figured it out before wrecking my metabolism. Thanks again for making this video.

Thank u

Gotta take off that damn mask kids cant even hear you!

Thank you thank you 🙏🏼 This is my 16 day on aférrale and the past 5 days I had dizziness and I was about to quit and put the medication away from me . I am 35 and I was diagnose 3 weeks ago I was so exited about using it and I see that take time . I will wait much longer .

I wish I could do all of the projects alone. Everyone there is so no excited to learn.

Hopefully another same subject teacher gave you work sheets or access to the curriculum. It is about impossible to create one’s own work sheets, curriculum, daily.

Taking over a long term Substitute position is a LOT of work for not enough pay! 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

The sound of the TV at 6:12 sounds in headphones like it's in my room, not yours! The washing up is easier for me to put away if I wear gloves because then I won't get any wet on my hands.

I'm going to try to last at this job until the end of the school year. I just started subbing in October.

I am a current substitute. This job is not easy, but ESPECIALLY when there are no lesson plans. That is setting the sub up to fail. What curriculum am I supposed to teach? I'm supposed to fill 6 hours and sometimes they call us at the last minute. I'm talking 30 minutes before they need us, we have to be there. I can't imagine having to serve as a long-term sub with no lesson plans. And the students feel like they don't have to respect you because "you're not their real teacher."

I blame my mom. My teachers said I had adhd. My mom took me to one doctor who said not adhd and she never sought a second opinion. I absolutely blame my mom because I struggled so much, had obvious signs and I was constantly asking her to help me, struggling with basic things my whole life and she never has helped. She just makes suggestions which I see now are extremely unfriendly for adhd brains. The same old crap. Neuro typical methods seem to work fine for her and even after I said I have adhd, she can’t think outside of them. And she won’t listen when I attempt to explain. It’s not my job to educate her and frankly, I don’t have the energy. So yeah, I absolutely blame my mom. And she was a psych major too!

What helped me: I have predominantly inattentive type and was rx 5mg twice a day, which is such a TINY dose (for an adult in most cases). I thought it would do nothing b/c everyone else seemed to be on much higher doses and/or extend release. **Sidenote, I was on Vyvanse before Adderall and Vyvanse was awful for me** Anyway, the very low dose Adderall was the key. Sometimes I only take 5mg for the whole day. For whatever reason, I’ve always been super sensitive to medications, rx or otc, and my doctor knew that going in. I know everyone is different, but are you generally sensitive to meds, any kind at all, even cold medicines for example? Anything? For me, completely anecdotally, the more sensitive you are to meds, the lower dose of add meds needed. Again, that’s only my experience.

Loved the dress on you - modest but still sexy.

5:12❤ watching

Good job❤

Where is your end small talk top from please

I love that t-shirt! I need one of those. The saying expresses my sentiments exactly.

How do you request items?

Salutations sistar

It's always good to have great-fitting jeans! And I loved the dress.

Hey friend, good to see you again!! Fellow ND squad!!❤❤

It definitely was a major challenge with lots of ups and downs forsure, but it made me more structured, and i had a problem with being late to class lots, but i finished. Thanks for sharing

Such an encouraging video. Thank you.. I am 48 year old woman with2 children in high school. I have ADHD. Both my children and my husband have AUDHD. I have not managed to work successfully since my children were born. When i worked I did a terrible job at being a mother and a partner. My kid's really need a mother that is on her A game, not to mention my husband. This has always made me feel like I wasn't good enough. Everyone else seems to be able to do it all. I stay home all day and my house looks like a mess. My kid's are happy and well adjusted (I put a lot of work into their mental health) and we all have clean clothes and food on the table (laps really, the table is a mess). Hearing that you don't work full time was encouraging ( I know it's not the same but it was helpful to hear that it is okay to not do the same as everyone else). Comparison is the thief of joy but also others judgy remarks don't do me any good either. Thank you SO much.

Thanks for your advice.

Hi from Brazil! Wish all the best for us!

I definately have a go to eating regime when I let things slide. Batch cook a 30 plant "curry\casserole thing" and eat that with a protein daily. Then make sure I get my omega 3's with either Mackerel or Walnuts. Attempt exercise when I can.

I'm self diagnosed and very late (47 when I started to figure all of this out). AuDHD too and now that I look back (and most certainly since I have discovered how I am wired and not unmasking!) there were so many signs. I would say though that aside from when I worked in the Youth Service I wasn't around people who might have known so no blame from me. I'm just glad I have figured out who (and how!) I am. The signs were endless when I reflect - even when high masking they would leak out in other ways.

I will stretch my hair washing days as far as i can apart. Like you said! Too much sensory stuff.

Listen to music? Fidget toy? Play a game in your head?

yeah no shit

wowo ten years later that is laim sorry bout that i was ca;;ed names for 40 years and thearapists and counselors still do it to me... o well they are prpbally just jealous i am smarter

my mom was a teacher in the 70 and 80s when i was a kid so bak then it would of been her fault for my autism adhd also. i super mad at the whole world autistic mad.

On a seperate note: I went through endless rounds of psychotherapy and psychiatric treatment for the anxiety and depression that my undiagnosed, unsupported autism caused. None of these so called mental health experts thought to screen me for autism. There's a very simple, free, widely availible screening tool for autism availible online called "Autism Spectrum Screening Questionaire" (ASSQ). Scores range from 0 to 54. I took the test in 2010 along with an IQ test online just for for fun. My IQ score was 132 My ASSQ score was 40. A score of 13 or above suggests the presence of autism. As is often the case for me, my high IQ worked against me. I reasoned that the test itself must be flawed, because there's no way I could be THAT autistic, and still have accomplished so much. It was an AUTISTIC way to interpret the test results lol! To not see any grey area, and to simply dismiss it. I think everyone should be screened for autism. It's the only way to begin to objectively asess it's prevalence and impact on those of us who manage superficially to cope with it, while blaming ourselves for the inevitable difficulties that result. I suspect if this is done, we'll learn that the prevalence of autism is MUCH higher than the current 2% estimate.

Wow -You just described so much about my own experience as an undiagnosed autistic / ADHD person. Interestingly, the ADHD was diagnosed in 1st grade - in 1971 - by the school psychologist! My mother didn't want a defective child, so she had me tested by her own, and her psychologist determined that I had a very high IQ - so I couldn't possibly be "hyperactive" as it was known back then. I won't go into the details of what happened to me over the next 50 years, except to say that it mirrors your experiences almost exactly. - I dropped out of highschool, Then graduated Cum Laude from Cal Poly Pomona's Architecture program. Then I had extreme difficulties transitioning from school to the workplace. Still, I managed to fullfill all the requirements and pass all the tests to become a fully liscenced architect. I ended up working for Walt Disney Imagineering for a few years. Then that career came unraveled due to social, sensory, and executive functioning and demand avoidance issues, So I became a college professor. That lasted 15 years, but again, social, sensory, demand avoidance, shutdowns, depression, and anxiety imploded that career. By 2011 I'd litterally sold or burned everything I owned, moved onto a 20' sailboat, and in 2012 I litterally sailed away from it all. We autists are very litteral eh? I still live on a sailboat, and I recieve just enough income from my teaching pension and music performances to survive. Oh - I forgot to mention music! I've always loved music. To the point of obsession to outside observers. In 2015 I bought a guitar, and started teaching myself how to play and sing. I did this full time for 5 years - and never missed a day of practice with my instrument because I LOVED IT SO MUCH. This is the result: www.youtube.com/@LA-Voodoo I'm able to sit in and play with world class professional muscians now, like Mauricio Lewak - Jackson Brown's drummer - without even knowing the songs. I just listen to the melody, and I can improvise solos people find astonishing. My advice to nuerodiverse people is to LEAN IN to your condition. Don't fight it. Rather pursue whatever your passions are as fully as possible. Stim freely - without shame or remorse. Map out what your deficits and support needs are and support them as best you can. Disclose your autism / diversity and INSIST that everyone in your life aknowledge, accept, accomodate and support you. I've found that the last part is the toughest. It's also the most important. It's a matter of survival, so you must be ruthless about it. Autistc people have very little social bandwidth. ANYONE who bullies, shames, or criticizes you should be CUT OFF and cut out of your life after you disclose your condition and support needs to them if they continue thier toxic behavior and attitude towards you. I don't care who it is. I had to cut off friendsI've had for over 30 years after giving them ultimatums which were met with yet more toxicity, shaming, and denial about my autism and it's impact on me. I had to go no contact with my own mother a decade ago before I recieved my diagnosis because of ongoing emotional abuse at her hands. I'm not mad at these people - I'm afraid of them. You should be too. Anyone on The Spectrum should be. They are extremely dangerous to us. To conclude: Know yourself. Be kind to yourself Insist others support and treat you with respect Everyone, autistic or not deserves as much, but for autistic people, it's not negotiable.

Dude my kid is 7 and I still don't realize that last minute things r going to happen. I used to always b the type to be so worried about being late that I was so early and then I'd get so nervous from waiting so long and worrying that people were noticing me being so early and think I'm weird

I listened. ☮😊

Thank you ❣️

Phuk UA-cam censorshit

Oh my gah. I didn't know why, for so long, I did so many of those things! Especially the meltdowns for what other people consider "nothing"! Thank you for sharing this!

Luv

Brain games... I do this, too. I usually play a game or watch UA-cam as a reward for doing things that tend to overwhelm me. It has really helped me and my kids a lot! Self challenges make it more fun, too! Thank you for sharing! You are putting such valuable advice out there. Take care!

Wow! This was super encouraging & I totally hear you! I’m nearly 49 ASD/ADHD/SLD’s/CPTSD….. I’m really proud of you stepping out being a voice for yourself & others - that “little girl” has grown into a brave woman indeed 😊 God bless you & yours!! 🤗🙏🏽♥️

I relate to this so much. Thank you for sharing

I find I get along with fellow asd people a lot better. I hope to find a girl like that again, because the understanding is on another level. It also doesn’t socially present as much in women but I’m sure it’s as hard.

So far, I think this is the best video you have done! Good job! It is very well thought out. Your advice is spot on! On the subject of Clubs... My son was in a club called International club and he loved it. It was for college students interested in learning about other people and cultures. Most of the people were new to the US but it was not a requirement. He really enjoyed this group of people, as most of them were, also, socially awkward. He really felt comfortable and safe to be himself. Clubs are a great way to meet people. My son also joined a Ballroom dancing club to help with social awkwardness around girls. On funding college... Did you know there are scholarships hiding everywhere! Churches, charitable organizations, businesses... Just look it up or ask. Sometimes you will be required to do something in exchange like write an essay on a particular subject. The denominations can vary, as low as $50 in some cases. $50 to write 2 or 3 paragraphs and it took less than an hour! Yes, please! LOL We nickel and dimed our way to the top! Take care!

Just subbed to your channel im also ND(Autism/ADHD). I relate to a lot of these!!

I am a new subscriber and I am really enjoying your content! I think you are doing a great job representing our community. Take care!

Thank you for sharing your story! It is so brave of you! I believe, judging by the comment section, you have already started to make an impact on our community! Keep going, my friend! You got this! Take care!

I'm a guy. I could be your friend except I am old enough to be your grandpa, and that would be just too weird.
