The Aspie World probably the worst thing is waithing for a package to be delivered to you when you know its coming it just kills me there is no was i will be doing my tasks without having 50% of my brain thinking about the package delivery is it today ? When ? At what time ? And the package arrives in 4 days and im just exausted
Omg hahahahaha I'm laughing so hard cuz the part about music lol... "your the worst DJ..." my mom & im sure a few other ppl have said that or very similar to me lol...
Oh I was just thinking though, cuz yea I wanna skip through & do what u where saying & I think maybe sometimes it's also another reason maybe cuz I'm like so into them certain parts of the song on not as much of some songs & I wanna share with the person & usually ur not in the vehicle too much & sometimes I just wanna show EVERY new song I like NOW lol...
I think I have adhd but I don't know because I was never diagnosed . When ever I lookup symptoms I always have most of them if not all . It's very hard for me to sit still and remember such simple stuff, I can't understand directions that are over a sentence . I can read something and 5 seconds later forget what I just read . I have a hard problem focusing on school work . I have a hard time handing it on in time . I always butt into other things that I shouldn't have . It's very hard for me to ignore the stuff around me . This is why I think I have add but I've never been diagnosed
thank you
your girlfriend sounds very supportive. Awesome.
"Short attention span" damn right, I skipped the 2 minute beginning.
I was literally mid tap to skip around the second he got to the point
Haha same
The curse of ADHD communication. We ramble and want everything out, but other ADHD people have no patience for that kind of thing...
I have to leave for work in now and I just skipped to the main points because otherwise oops
Same. Not even gonna lie, and didn't even realize I did that, or that I was doing it because of that until I read this comment. Whoops. 😪😏😕😂
I kept getting distracted by the comments 😂😂
Haha
Same
OMG XD Just after the first 10 seconds of the video I scrolled into the comment section and the first thing Ive read was your comment xD Instantly made me realize again haha 😂😂
Same
I clicked on this video and saw this comment and instantly clicked on it🤣🤣
I got an "i forgot" award in year 4. My mums been blaming all my ADHD symptoms on me until i got diagnosed only a month ago. Im 30.. lol
Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
Yeah. I told my mom I have a ton of symptoms for adhd, but she keeps blaming me for the same symptoms meanwhile she still has yet to go into the full process.
I just got diagnosed with adhd I’m 19😅
@@lowkeylv3909 where did u get it diagnosed and if like i dont have a offline therapist to go to , like how do i get it done? do u have any idea which could help me . :)
@@kk-rw3db I went to a GP and then they will guide you to see people to help find what u have and they will also take u to a psychiatrist to get diagnosed
I'll ask my Alexa what the weather is, think about something else and not listen, then have to ask her again.
Haha I hear ya!! Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).

I do this type of stuff all the time. Check the time, to have to check the time a million more times because I instantly forget. Like oh my gosh it's so frustrating. 😓😅
Have my mornings where I have to do this a few times.
literally me aghhh!
Video starts at 2:05 :)
Just leaving that there for those who need it
thank you
Thank you
short attention span! LOL
😂 I do the same 😂
Thank you
I’ve discovered I can’t get anything done unless I’m listening to music. I can’t clean my house because I feel overwhelmed by all the tasks at hand but for some reason having music on helps me have something secondary to focus on and I can be more productive. Same with cooking or whatever else I’m trying to accomplish. If I’m having a conversation I have to be fidgeting in some way to be able to also try and stay focused on who I’m talking to. So many other things.
I used to do this as well - but now the things I need to do is edit videos I need all volume on the projects haha! Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
Same thing, different method. For me, it was playing movies or tv shows in a loop with my laptop.
Sameeeee
Patty Miller I can’t focus even when I’m listening to music...
I guess I must be really bad because from what I hear most women with adhd were diagnosed when they were adults, but for me it was noticeable enough when I was 6. I’m just used to deal with constant dissappointment..
i wish, I literally cannot do anything unless I’m focused on that and only that, if I have music play I just end up sitting there listening to music
Lol after you said easily distracted i remembered those 3 other things i was supposed to be doing....
my fifth grade TEACHER had ADHD it was an interesting class
Tell us more about it...
@@drowninginthedeepnessofher1032 i think he has adhd too
My 8th grade teacher had ADHD and it was a gifted class. So we got off topic a lot. I remember during Algebra we got off topic and started talking about college level math as a class. And then in science one student was talking to him about nuclear bombs and how they worked/were made and comparing them to atom bombs. English was one of the most sidetracted subjects cause of how diverse it can get. So we'd end up talking about Pokémon or pretty much anything that someone in the class found interesting. It was fun. One of my favorite teachers.
also when I am bored, I tend to hum or move to music that I hear in my head. Can't tell you how many times people at work had said,"You're humming again"
I’ve had that happen to me in high school a lot, one time it was actually positive as I was humming and one guy said “are you humming-“ I was used to it so I instinctively responded “oh I am? Sorry bout that” he then said “i didn’t finish, I wanted to know if you were humming the animal crossing wild world main theme!” Apparently they just was glad to find someone else who still played the game XD that’s how a met one of my closest friends
oh same.
Same I used to think it was linked to dyspraxia
@@Katt-ci6gw that's awesome
I just listen to music in my head and that has to keep me focused while I'm staying silent on the job or talking. Talking actually helps sometimes to not make me bored. But that's often mistaken for beings unproductive. Being adhd in security is a good challenge to stay focused and it's a great way to keep you in a good mood.
Me: Locks car.
20 seconds later: Did I lock my car?
Also sense of danger wise I love thunderstorms. I like to watch the lightning outside until it strikes a few hundred yards away, lol
Yes! I will like double check a hundred times, and still forget and have to ask my self wondering if I did indeed lock it, or if I forgot. lmao
I always forget if I flushed the toilet or not
I want to talk about things, but a lot of the time, I feel like I can't access the knowledge and talk about it, worrying about being judged.
I feel this... So much...
I stopped worrying about being judged a long time ago because I realized people like me a lot more that way. Otherwise I would behave very anti-socially by being afraid of how I will look to them and that makes things way worse.
@@MaddieFrankX that’s how i am and i have rly bad social anxiety😭
I can't last through a whole movie i watch 10 minutes of it then I am watching youtube.
Yeah!!!
sameeeeeee so frustrating then I get mad at myself
Oh my gosh
What a find people on my planet at last.
my son, one and only amazing child
Who also had ADHD and Aspergers
Once, warned me
Yes, Ma..
You can come over and watch a film with us
AS LONG AS YOU DON'T TALK ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT
Namaste
Alice Wright-Dunstan lol me too
Alice Wright-Dunstan then you’re constantly changing videos on UA-cam without even finishing them..
I have ADHD. I am a carpenter and I think my ADHD is what makes me so good at
it. In carpentry you are always doing something different and you are constantly moving. What is really interesting is that it has taken me over ten minutes to write this because I have a habit of pacing back and forth in my room while I think about what to write. Yep I have ADHD.
Hey!! Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
As someone quoted in another video response: “imagine having 40 tv’s in your brain and they’re all playing something different. That’s what having ADD is like” very true!! Like you, I have an amazing long term memory, but my short term memory’s garbage. I zone out very easily too.
Yeah!!!
Yes. I explain it that way too… my short term memory is sooo trash lol . Long term memory- impeccable 😂🥲
My favourite part of watching ADHD youtubers they create in a way that keeps minds like theirs focused. :)
Yay!! Thank you so much for the comment! Please subscribe to my channel to see more videos from me :).
I have ADHD and I can tell you there are good parts like hyper focus and being good at things like sports but there are also bad parts like getting distracted and being hyperactive and impulsive. But I love my ADHD even with the bad parts.
Yes, I feel embrace your powers!!!
Aspergers i have it
Whats everyone's occupation, im struggling with finding a career and job to stick with?
@JAmes2007 how do you find learning, in group environments compared to one on one interaction?
@JAmes2007 i struggle very much so in class room situations, i always have even through my high school. Im not 100% sure wether i have adhd or not, but i suffer from alot of the symptons. Ive seen a psychiatrist and he's got me on modafinil, i honestly dont notice anything from it. And yea he never really told me if i had adhd add or not.
With what you just told me there i can relate very much, one on one im pretty good at listening, unless of course it really doesnt interest me, and then i tend to zone out.
But in a group classroom environment, im hopeless, in one ear out the other.
But when its something i do enjoy, and can relate to people with, such as sport, im a pretty good at.
Problem being, i dont get paid to play sports, so its not a career option for me unfortunately.
I really like drawing. *I REALLY LIKE DRAWING.*
Awesome! *I REALLY LIKE FREAKING EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH ART AND MUSIC*
I want to go back into drawing. I used to do that at school all time. Made classes a lot more bearable.
I'm 30 today. I've been misdiagnosed for 15 years.
Finally have an evaluation in one month. But I know after years of research and your help that I am aspie/ADHD. I've been treated for OCD, anxiety and depression. Misdiagnosed and treated as bipolar for almost 2 years in my early 20s.
My advice to others is go for private health over the public system. And never give up!
It's expensive, though, and as a good ADHDer I don't have a lot of money at the bank.
Yeah I don't trust private health at all.
Or just smoke your brains out and relax
@@medes5597 why?
@@amjb789 private health has a profit motive. I don't trust profit movies.
Thanks we are the ADHD and ASD family thanks for uploads
Thank you for supporting!!!
geraldine sephton im in the ASD part of the fam
I have realized that I can't listen to someone without either playing a game on my phone or fidget with something because otherwise I zone out and start daydreaming if it is beyond my interest
Love these! I’m just going to add 1 thing: hyper focus. That moment when you’re REALLY into sth and there’s no way you’re going to get distracted by anything. In fact, a car could crash into your living room and you wouldn’t even notice because you’re that distracted by that super interesting thing that you’re doing.
I would notice, but I would just think "Yeah, whatever. I'll check when I finish here".
Eh that’s too far the car crashing thing but hyper focus I feel when making music
Hey Dan, I know a lot of people complain about you talking too fast, but I actually love it - it shows your enthusiasm and always leaves me smiling and full of energy!
Jessica W Me too!
Hey Jessica, thank you so much for this comment :)!!!
I was just thinking the same, it's good to be so engaging and to make people smile. 😊
Jessica W I talk too fast as well so when other people do it I love it I love his pace
Well ADHD people have no problem keeping up hahah
When you said easily distracted I remembered the letter my mum told me to send to the post about 4 months ago... its still in my bag
Ashraf Omar interesting you should say that. When I was living in my apartment, in order for me to remember to mail a letter I had to put it on the floor in front of the door. Out of sight, out of mind.
i should've made a doctors appointment one and a half years ago
This is literally everything I do, one moment I am doing a college assignment and then I’m sat on my phone and then I can be messing about with my mates, it’s the same with work, I’m in the kitchen and doing my job then I’m walking outside, I’ve been kicked out of my classroom at college for fiddling, in the same way you do, it’s the same on the bus journey too, I’m so gobby especially with dogs and horses, as they’re the main type of animals I have, with the danger in literally the same, I’m an equestrian and I literally try things I shouldn’t do, like jumping higher than I have been told, thank you for making this video ❤️
Oh man people can be so horrible! All because they do not understand! You are welcome for the videos keep being awesome ✌🏼🔥🔥🔥
I've got ADHD, Autism, PTSD, and SPD. Thanks so much for all your encouragement on these sorts of things. It's very comforting to hear others struggle with the same things, and you share a lot of tips and ideas to cope.
I relate to the forgetting
So I can be told something really important and forget it, but I've remembered for the past week my yogurt drinks expires tommorow
I never thought I’d relate to something more. And OH GOD THE MUSIC ONE! I never related to anything so much, along with fidgeting, interrupting, forgetting eVERYTHING, being distracted, waiting turns, staying on task, pretty much everything except like the danger one cos I have anxiety.
👍🏼
What’s frustrating is how to manage both Aspergers and ADHD. What works for ADHD enhances Aspergers anxiety.
Yes I agree it is very challenging.
When I do my homework it normally takes me 2 hours to write 1 sentence because one moment i am focusing on what to write then the next moment I am outside of watching total wipeout or robot wars
Yeah!!!
On challenge or challenge + 1
Great video! I’m autistic and have inattentive type ADHD so I can’t relate to being hyperactive or super talkative (typically unless it’s a special interest). It’d be great if you did a summary of each type of ADHD!
Yeah!!! That is cool :).
ADHD is a spectrum disorder, everyone's ADHD is different. You are not simply inattentive or hyperactive, just probably more predominantly inattentive. You will display some symptoms of hyperactivity, whether you realize or not.
@@mrpk646 yeah. I'm the predominantly innatentive, but I fidget quite a and I can't stop dancing on the same spot when I have to stand for too long. It's great for rocking my niece to sleep, so all good?
other than this, I'm pretty much a slug
@TuckerFearnBentley You are misinformed; ASD is absolutely a spectrum disorder, It's in the name.... Autism spectrum disorder 🤦♂️
Asperger's is no longer an officially attainable diagnosis. As of 2013 Aspergers and autism disorder were essentially merged into one diagnosis. The two (Aspergers and Autism disorder were separate diagnoses Pre-2013) however were folded into one, now known as Autism spectrum disorder.
Hopefully that's coherent :)
Now as for ADHD, I can't state this as factual (that it's a spectrum disorder) because I don't have any sources to back myself and can't be bothered to look, so we'll call it a theory. However it's a theory/thought process based upon common sense.
These are "disabilities/conditions" whatever you want to word them as, that affect the way a person lives their life/thinks/feels etc. etc. therefore obviously they're going to be different person to person If the cause is neurological/genetic based, due to the nature of neuroplasticity + individuality.
The criteria for a diagnosis is the same for everyone because its an identification tool used to detect clear indications in the differences between your neurotypical person and an atypical person who has the disorder. The criteria of an ADHD/ASD diagnosis are not designed however, to detect the differences between people that are already known to have the overarching diagnoses. ASD will have a more in depth, drawn out diagnostic process "categorising" you somewhere along the spectrum to determine whether your high/low functioning etc. and to indicate what kind of support is needed for you as an individual for the future.
ADHD PI (Predominantly inattentive)
ADHD PH (Predominantly hyperactive/impulsive).
These are part of the same disorder, which would go under an ADHD diagnosis.
The word predominantly infers that the "type" (PI/PH) is simply the side of the spectrum your ADHD is biased to in the way it is expressed. It does not mean that there are different types. Simply different ratio's of specific traits. NOT Different spectrum's entirely lol.
Go look it up, it stands for predominantly inattentive ADHD, Also known as "ADD" which is not an official diagnosis. There is IMO one type of ADHD, which is a spectrum disorder, meaning people with the diagnosis will show similar general traits however there are differences between the way ADHD affects them, because of individuality. No one's brain is wired the same, and therefore you've got different groundwork for ADHD to play with, meaning it is displayed differently between people. The disorder itself is the same however.
If you were to read my initial comment again, you'd see that I said most people are likely PREDOMINANTLY more PI or PH, I did not say that everyone's ADHD is completely different, simply that everyone's got different balances of the same disorder and may not notice their subdominant traits. Hence why some people think they're inattentive or hyperactive. You may be more one or the other but you'll likely have traits of both in your behaviour/personality/though process.
This was poorly written tbh I'm not great at getting my thoughts out in a linear, simple format, so apologies for that. Hopefully it's understandable and not just waffle. I am aware I said the same thing multiple times I'm just making sure the point is understood.
I’m the same except when I engage in creative activities like singing, dancing or theatre then I kind of go into hyper mode
This was one of my favorite videos you have made so far. I have ADHD and Aspergers and can totally relate to the countdown. Especially the music one. I can’t hear a whole song without switching constantly to the next lol.
Thank you so much for making this video! My partner has ADHD and ASD and we really have you to thank for his diagnosis’. He first watched one of your videos a couple of years ago on 10 things people with Aspergers do (or something along those lines). He was watching your video that made him realise he might be on the spectrum after 33 years of knowing he was different and not knowing why. Since then he has been diagnosed and is in treatment and life is going really well. We both love watching your videos together. Thank you and keep it up! :)
You are welcome. Thank you for the support!!!
I started to learn about my "SICKNESS" since 2 days ..
I directly Fall in love when HE speak..
He is so relax.
I was diagnosed with ADD about 25 years ago I can relate to all the points you made in this video. Thank you for all the great videos you create, they have helped me understand so many struggles I've had my entire life, I suspect I have autism.
I have Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, predominantly hyperactive impulsive type, Anxiety disorder, Cluster B personality disorder and am likely also on the spectrum, yet undiagnosed at 51. I relate to many of the tings you stated in this video and can relate. Thanks again for your work and posting this.
Awesome. Thanks DAN! I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid but this just proves 120% that I do have ADHD. It’s a relief to know.
Dan, thank you so much for this video! I don't have ADHD but my 15 year old son does, and this conversation absolutely helps me understand what's going on in his brilliant mind. :)
Omg I can't concentrate on one task, like when I decide to clean my bedroom it takes really long because I can never finish what I started, I'm constantly losing my phone, like all the time, I can't concentrate on my classes, I suck at driving because I forget to look in the mirrors, people tell me what I should do and I forget 2 seconds later, one minute I'm nice and than if the person do something I snapped and get ready angry, and than it I'm not anymore , I never thought of the possibility of having ADHD. I always interrupt people when we are talking, I can't stop thinking at all
What a big blessing to have a long term memory ! I appreciate hearing this. I dont have this but my husband and son do. Another thing I notice is some adhd men when sitting, tap their hand on their knees.
My 2 loved ones do not talk much but I do know they have it. Hubby used to suddenly pipe up and completely change the conversation . Now I understand it was adhd symptom !
Your videos are so comforting - thank you. 💜
Thank you for the videos! They are very relatable. I was diagnosed with ADHD combined type and Pdd-nos when I was 7. I find having conversations with people pretty difficult most of the time so I actually don't talk a lot. I've always been extremely quiet.
Hey, Dan, thanks for making all your awesome videos! I've been watching them for ...2 yrs? ... My memory sucks lmao. I got diagnosed with ASD of the high functioning variety a yr or so ago , in part due to a video of yours! You helped me realize a large part of why I behave the way I do and why certain things are just ridiculous to my brain (like most social things). Or why I seem to hate crowds , yet somehow want to be with people at the same time. (It's more the noise of the crowd or environment and less the people themselves) .
And this video helped me to see that perhaps my psychologist (the same one who diagnosed me with ASD) also mentioned i may have ADD. I hadn't been evaluated for the ADD/ADHD , as it didn't seem to impact my life the same way my ASD does. (Social anxiety and depression brought on by some shutdowns were more the focus) . And ever since , I've been wondering why she said that.
Now I can see perhaps why. What kind of person brings a literal list of behaviors to a psychologist and then blabs for literal hr on everything ranging from why they're there to why they brought a list to who knows what else I said, I dont remember. TL;DR: I realize now i probably made that list and jumped around the topics so much because my brain literally can't stop itself. I just go thought to thought.
And I'm usually fidgety. And not necessarily to manage sensory overload . Sometimes I just feel...restless? I think that's the ADHD of more hyperactive sort trying to rear its head. I'll fidget or mess with things in my hands (pens, paper, etc ) or I'll be shaking my leg , often without even knowing I'm doing it until I'm distracted by my own noise making lol...
Sorry that got so long! It's like you said in the video ....if you've got someone with ASD + ADHD + area of interest = you're in for an earful! I do that from time to time, like now lmao;;;;
Soo, thanks for putting up with me ^^;;;;;,,
Thank you! This is so helpful. You are awesome.
I was recently diagnosed with autism. I was so relieved that all my questions were answered in 3 hours during the assessment!
Hi! I’m new here. I have adhd, bipolar, ptsd, and anxiety. I have a 14 year old son with autism. I really enjoyed your video. I relate to all of these thank you for sharing. ☺️❤️
Loved this so much
I know it is kind of ironic but I find it easier to make lists and it helps me be less distracted.
✌🏼
Great information Dan! My son has aspergers , adhd, anxiety and Tourette’s! My son had to look at my phone when he heard you mention your favourite video games , he loves those games too!🌸💖
Hey that is awesome!!!
“Just try harder to focus!” 🙄😥 although one of my natural coping mechanisms has been , like with the fidget spinners (which have saved me from being a much more dangerous driver btw) I can do 2 conversations at once better if they don’t talk over one another. Omgs though the forgetful thing yes, the switching activities I can focus on a big thing say cleaning the house but the individual tasks omgs i leave water running-wet rags on tables etc. your videos always make me so happy I’ve been diagnosed right with adhd yet so so sad that people refuse to allow those with invisible illnesses the extra they need. People become so annoyed with me because i have to hear things three times to get the first second and third part and then a moment to string them together. And I don’t shut up either. Sorry. I don’t have a community here and many MANY people, here in the USA are “misdiagnosed” with ADHD to be able to get the drugs and since capitalism is so intertwined with our health care system, and because our major GDP is pharmaceuticals I meet too too many people who have “add/adhd”. So I ask them well does adderal “slow you down” and if they say yes instead of something to the effect of “no it allows me to focus on one thing” that’s how I know they just like speed, and are one of the bad guys. I don’t condone giving children amphetamines anyway because I am of the conviction that the companies do this intentionally instead of prescribing behavior therapy to develop coping skills or prevent the toys like the spinners from being distributed with out a RX because they want to secure a massive/manic/bi polar depressive later in life. If you look into what consistent and long term use of amphetamines does to the brain it literally stops producing the chemicals the right way permanently, moreover the effects on the heart are insane too!!! , so then you need another pill because these doctors and companies can’t put forth a bit more effort aside from tossing a narcotic at a kid which is used not to treat it but to attain its side effect of hyper focus, I’m not saying it’s not necessary some times but man, I am more messed up because I trusted my doctors and we don’t teach and encourage patients and understanding in our societies but rather oppress and stereotype the disabled. I’m so sad. Anyway, thank you for being out here for me to “come home to”. I still cannot find anywhere to get screened for adult ASD. Recently my state and country elected business men to my governments and strangely enough the funding for those kinds of places has been cut off. Freaking weird coincidence huh? Smh I just want to know so I can begin to structure my healthcare and therapy around the right maladies so maybe I’m not is no much pain and so alone and feel so help and hopeless. Thank you again darling. You give me the faith that I can do this at times. The community to know I’m not alone, and the strength to keep fighting.
I always suspected I had ADHD but didn’t care because I only wanted to do interesting things…but when I learned more about it a few months ago I realized that a lot of what was getting in the way of what I want to be doing with my life probably traced back to ADHD. I’m 31, and after 6 evaluation appointment, I was diagnosed last week. It’s kinda a relief because now there’s this all these strategies to try that might be more successful, and medication too if I can afford it.
I really appreciate your personnality
I like the sketches
Very entertaining👌
Stops me from clicking on another video from boredom
Great video, I personally (been diagnosed 24 years), and I'm sure a lot of others with the condition, can validate every point. (Although I personally tend to overthink everything [e.g 5th comment edit :/ ], as opposed to throwing caution to the wind into potentially dangerous situtations) Looking forward to checking out more from your channel :)
I’m so glad I found your video I relate so much it’s been so hard lately because I recently discovered I have ADHD
Thank you so much for this video it’s helped me understand my best friend a lot because he has ADHD 😃💙
I have ADHD and i'm still trying to learn more about it so thank you sm for this video :3 I totally relate with everything you said and I laughed at the "changing the songs " part that's literally me and I never knew why I did that, or when i'm watching a movie I get on my phone and then get mad at myself because I wanted to watch the movie. I can't sit still at a movie theater especially like I get super bored if the movie is boring. I also talk to myself way too much and sing songs in my head randomly and i'm like? what? I have a super hard time waiting like i'm super impatient and i'm so impulsive I wasted $400 this week smh
All these relate to me, especially the conversation stuff. It can be embarrassing. People think you are rude or stuck on yourself.
Often I may need to say something so I don't forget and try to refocus on the conversation, rather than what is in my head.
Thanks for this video! I'm seeing a lot of connections with your list and what my son does (1-6, 8-10). We want to help our son out in school and we're looking to review him with our pediatrician as soon as we can. His actions also coincide with some of the ASD symptoms you listed in another video. I'm also wondering about myself since these are issues we never discussed while I was younger, yet they're a constant in my adult life. My parents always chalked it up to being active and young, but I'm in my late 30s. I'm due for examination, too. Thanks :)
I can relate to the changing activity one because I'll be watching UA-cam videos and most of the time I only watch the beginning of the video, then switch, then switch, then switch, for homework I barely start on one assignment then I switch, and switch, and so on and so on
Currently being assessed for ASD.. didn't thi k I had ADHD either until I took the test. Needed to understand more and this video really helped Mr relate more than reading technical questions
I love you videos!! Keep up the great work!!💙
THANK YOU!!!
The Aspie World YOU’RE WELCOME!!💙
I swear I've never related to something in my entire life. I have Aspergers but ofcours some of the symptoms colide with ADHD. Great vid as always Dan, hope u have a good day bro😀
My eldest has ADHD he’s 37 and he’s literally going nuts with it with being out of control and depression almost Bi Polar as I tex I’m struggling to help him because it’s been a four year struggle. He was in a great relationship for years but since it fell apart it’s been hugely downhill. It’s so difficult to live with I’m ADHD myself and my other two grown up children and it’s hard bouncing around trying to be level x
Hiya. I have ADHD and Asperger’s. Also, I bought your book! Can’t wait to start reading it
Hey!!! Oh that is amazing, thank you so much!
Thor Hoedinson I didnt knew he wrote a book!
Whats Its name?
I want to read it too!
I have both as well
I should be doing work but I'm on my phone. Even with parental locks I've set for myself. I sometimes just sit here staring at my work or I sit at a meal and don't eat it or I read the same page over and over. Or I repeat tasks over and over. Or I completely forget things as if they didn't happen. ADHD +autism+ chronic illness is a strange foggy existence. But I'm trying my best :)! Thanks for the videos! I really enjoy them.
It is great to know realize the shortcomings and advantages of the way one's brain is hardwired and not to feel you just did fail in the stuff that other people do naturally
Love you so much 😊. You've helped me through so much so thank you
Hey that is amazing!!! I am so happy!
I'm just so thankful. I hope you move on to bigger and better things because your awesome!! Now that I understand more about my autism and ADHD I'm a lot happier and more accepting of myself and I owe that all to you! ☺
Okay so I’m afab and suspect I may have adhd but I also have anxiety so I’ve been finding it really hard to distinguish the different symptoms so thank you a lot for this 😅
I've been diagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid but was never taught the symptoms until a couple years ago and still learning them
Can't wait to watch when I have the attention for it. Love ya
Peace!!!
I've got ADHD and dyslexia and I never really found anyone whose symptoms and experiences were similar to mine, until I found this channel.
The two can often go together
I like your videos. Last night i went camping so I couldn't watch the live video. But I watched it today.☺
Oh that is cool! I hope camping was awesome!!!
Dan, I seriously thought you were in my brain. I never thought about me having adhd but everything you've talked about is like 100% me.
ohmygod you explained everything so well, I relate to literally everything in this video ! and you made everything so silly and fun ! its hard to have adhd but its good to be able to laugh at these things too :D
Oh I haven't said this channel is brilliant!
Thank you for sharing this my son
THANK YOU . I REALLY LIKE HOW YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING. MY GRANDSON LIKES THOSE GAMES , TOO.
Hey!!! Thank you!
I always thought I was a patient person and I probably still am, but I think I’ve realised I’ve just developed techniques to entertain myself while I’m waiting for others/waiting for my turn.
I can relate I always struggled to keep concentrated unless I'm in an environment without distraction.
6:03
I struggle to organise myself but I could organise like a bookcase forever I love it for some reason it’s v satisfying
I tap different rythms all the time and people around me might wonder I I am constantly nervous, but it just the way I live, being nervous I rather go back and forth. Also in public and with not well known people I tend to be restrained a lot, but with somebody with whom I feel confident I might be unstoppable.
I have Autism and ADHD, and I can relate to this video very deeply. I take medication to deal with the hyperactivity, but it still affects me.
I watched this video and I related to them all so I went to the doctors and I have been diagnosed with adhd
Ah!!! Awesome!
The music thing got me. I can never play a song all the way through or I skip to the chorus. Alot of the symptoms made sense to me. I forget and loose things ALOT. I cannot relax. Maybe I need to see a doctor. I'm writing this while listening to this video( two things at once) I cannot concentrate on one thing at a time. I'm creative. I love designs esp interior and I can look at a room and see it finished. Got a great eye for detail
I fidget a lot when in school and have found that a mechanical pencil with a screw on top is a great way to silently and discreetly fidget.
i was watching this video and then i got the idae to do adhd test and so i did adhd,ocd and dyslexia and returned to watch the rest of the video
awful short term and brilliant long term is super relatable. I remember things that my family get wrong a lot and I have to correct on their memory.
What a coincidence today I saw ADHD described in Google discoveries and it explained me actually now after seeing your video am amazed I thought am only one but mm introverted people like teasing me a lot
#10:: this video has spoken to me so well and now my mind is racing and I can't sleep 😢
I really think I have adhd and I'm gonna get screened for it the next two months. I relate to all this so, so much, but I'm also scared I'm just making excuses and that it's my fault that I have difficulties with organizing, attention, patience, being too energetic, ect. 😔
I loved this video ❤ thanks for sharing your experiences with the world, it's super helpful ❤
I have ADHD to and thank for the video. I know some people with ADHD and Add is Different because is no H . I know some people with autism and they very smart ! I have Night terrors when I sleep and I talk A sleeping pill help me fall asleep even though I feel tired after I slept so good some times. Your so right about people with ADHD :) .
I got distracted 4-5 times during this video. Had to rewatch every time 😂
I am 51 yrs old i wasnt diagnosed till I was 50. However I truly believe I had it since childhood and when I was in school. I have almost all the symptoms u talked about. People don't understand me and say oh I know what u mean i do that or that happens to me. Well jn school I was in special classes and I couldn't do book reports. I would get very distracted alot also. Now I get easily distracted and I have memory issues and i have comprehensive problems. I also start a task and switch before finishing
My son has adhd and he is always forgetting things and if something at school is boring he finds it hard to stay on task
✌🏼
Lol, you're adorable!
So...my daughters psychologist asked me if we thought our wee one might have adhd (she's currently diagnosed high functioning autism). I had said absolutely not because I was under the impression that it was just hyperactivity! She's 5, she can be hyper but I don't think that's really an issue for her. But pretty much every other criteria you mentioned here I would say she has massive issues with! Yeah she's only 5 so I'm not overly concerned but I think I ought to mention it to her Dr!
It’s mind blowing to me that people can genuinely just do things, they can study well in advance for an exam, and like not be a blob unable to do anything.

LMao literally got distracted by the thought of buying bangles on shein and only remembered to come back when I zoomed out on safari💀💀
I’m supposed to study for my exam now but instead I’m watching ur video
I’m 28 years old and doctors are only just discovering that I might have had ADHD and dyscalculia my whole life. It’s a relief to know that this is why I am the way I am 😊
