Hey Dumbs, I've also been living with Autism and ADHD my entire life. I got the ADHD diagnosis pretty early, but I've only known about the autism for a year now. I just want to say thank you for making this. When people ask me about my experiences and ask me about how it is living with autism, or how my disability affects me, or even more antagonistically, why I am the way I am, I often struggle to put it all into words. I don't think I've ever related more to a description of these disabilities. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for doing this, thank you for having the courage to put this out there, and I am so happy that you're doing better. What really stuck out to me was when you said that you still only know 80% of yourself,I feel the exact same way. That every day I go on living my life without masking, without trying to pretend I am someone else, I feel like I learn a bit more about the "real me." And I'm so happy that you're finding the real you.
Hey bud, I get you. I was also was diagnosed early with ADHD. My family always tossed the idea of me being autistic but through stigma refused to take it as seriously. It's hard doin things I used to do, working is hard, and school is hard. Life is such a struggle and can be so baffling. But we are stills trying and that's what matters. I truly hope you thrive in your own way
I guess the video found its target audience :D I agree fully on getting a diagnosis & important video for the ones who havent yet but suspect it. I got my diagnosis for adhd 3 years ago and have fixed a lot of bad habits i used to have. Got prescribed meds and now my flat is clean, i started going to university & actually putting in the effort to study, feel better and achieved some big goals besides that. 100% worth and nothing bad came from it, you just learn more about yourself.
My autism diagnosis was one of the best things that ever happened to me, during school I had many anger outbursts, month long depressive episodes and way too many anxiety attacks to count. When I was 16 I saw a doctor 2 times before he hit me with the ASD diagnosis and finally the whole world made sense. I knew why I was struggling so much in my teen years and how I could begin to help myself. Yeah sure it's not been perfect but everything certainly got better. Now I'm a teacher, I care for other people with ASD and I'm now able to put my anxiety one side and go do things I love like going to Shoegaze Gigs or going to Worlds this year. Finding out why you are the way you are is a good first step to understanding. I still have days where I am pepega and a moronic freak but life is nowhere as hard as it was 10 years ago. Embrace your differences its what makes us us, and make the best out of every situation.
I can only say that for me the thing that worked for me is trying to not fix myself but rather work with myself. Dont have autism or adhd but have a cousin who is heavily on the spectrum and myself having issues with emotions (just learned about masking and yeap) and previous HEAVY alcohol abuse.
as a dyslexic spectrum warrior I sympetize with you a lot. having friends that welcome you being strange and laugh with you when I say or do something dumb or silly things helps a lot, it's ok to not always fit in just be yourself.
I got my ADHD diagnosis at 22yrs, I never really got medication for hypersomnia but I always slept as much as I could during days. I also learned how to control most of my impulsivity after a handful of years, I would lash out at everyone the moment something I didn't like happened. I really sympathize with you here, and you're really brave for sharing it! Also, yes, people with ADHD usually look for creative jobs, so it's not that big of a surprise a lot of content creators and artists like you and I have ADHD.
Yo bro, next week I’m getting the results from my ADHD test. It’s been a month-long process with a shrink, and after that, I’ll need to see a therapist to figure out if I need meds or not. The whole experience is kinda surreal though… You start getting answers about yourself that you didn’t even know you needed. Good luck, Dumbs! You’re still the GOAT at League, don’t stress about opportunities-they’ll come, and your channel’s gonna blow up soon, for sure!
I can really emphatize with the thoughts keeping you awake and delay your sleep. That kind of insomnia feels shameful because you feel like its you own fault (and therefore you don't tell anyone). Eventually I started to imagine and tell myself stories to calm myself down. Which is just another form of overthinking bruh. Thank you very much for sharing your experiences.
Hi dumbs, as a 17 yrs old who also has ADHD and Autism (i've known it for almost 9 years and had the diagnosis when i was 4-5 ) i also had the sleeping troubles with the same exact scenario which i find pretty funny since im now strugling with it but not able to find an actual solution. I find it very crazy how i can relate to what you said as i also thought and still do a bit. Knowing that someone else that is in the same position (im not specially happy about it dont twist my words) is kind of a relief as i feel less separate than i think i actually am. I thank you for making this video
Some nights, when i going to sleep like 1am or 2 am, i just don't like to sleep in that moment and when i'm in bed my mind is like a recap or every bad thing i made or anyone made, and it piss me off and i got angry, and that screw up my sleep even more, and when i'm sleeping i just wake up every 4 to 6 hours. I really hate it.
I can relate to you uploading once a year because i started learning how to draw 4 years ago but i only actually draw a few times a year, like sometimes i would try and pick up the pencil to draw but either my brain turns off completely or i don't have energy to do it. Wish you the best of luck and keep making this amazing content :)
It is always interesting and somewhat relieving to watch these kind of videos from creators I've watched for a while, because the experiences are so similar and it feels reassuring to know that all my life I haven't just been pretending or I've just been a freak like people made me out to be. Because of outside influence over my whole life, I've been made to believe that I am just attention seeking, that I am just lazy and should just be better or get over it. Even after being diagnosed and having medication, I still struggle to shake these thoughts off, so hearing others speak about this, to hear how the things I have done or went through are not unique and are often done by people with a 'condition' like mine...it's reassuring and I am glad for it.
Thank you very much for doing this video, Dumbs. It takes a lot of courage to speak about that and I just feel like I want to give you a hug, in a comforting way. I'm having a hunch that I have autism for a time now, especially when I reflect about my own childhood. There are things like that I really enjoyed watching documentaries about space and history, particularly WW2, when I was a child. I always had this huge interest in history, currently I'm studying it in university and want to become an educator in a museum, and I regularly go through phases where I model many parts of my life to what historical period I'm currently interested in. Say, for example I'm currently invested in viking history or something like this, which often becomes the case when it's winter, then I listen to music that picks up these topics (like Wardruna, Amon Amarth etc.), wear shirts of the bands I listen during that time and play games that take up these themes as well. And when I don't have something that I'm interested in right now, I wonder what to do with myself because there's a structure that is missing. Then, when I'm working on term papers, I sometimes have days where I write 8,9 or 10 pages of a 15-20 page paper in one sitting because I want to be done with it and because I tend to think about this paper a lot when I'm trying to sleep. I think I thought of pretty much half of my bachelor's thesis when I tried to sleep and then put it down to paper the next day. There are some implications where it hinders me more in the way I think about myself, some things I don't want to go into right now, so I think it is already important to reflect and recognize these tendencies that I may be autistic and this video certainly motivates me to do more research or finally speak with a professional. Again, thank you very much for having this courage and speaking openly about your experiences Dumbs!
Hey Dumbs, thank you for making this video. I'm not exactly your intended target for this, because i don't relate to most of the issues, but the sleeping part hits way too close to home. I still am struggling with sleep for the most part and have ever since i hit puberty myself, but my issues lie elsewhere, as i know now. Because of that, I fully understand how hard it is to talk about these issues and share discoveries - which you apparently only recently had yourself - about decade long insecurities. Please remember, me and many others like you for who you are and what you are doing. And although we don't know you on a personal level, we are cheering for you. Once again, let me thank you for being so brave to share this. Best of health and luck.
this is hitting to the point where i am doin research. ! thank you lilla guy! I am glad you are comfortable sharing this, and thank you so so much for doing so !
I had struggles socially and mentally for most of my life, always thought maybe I had it but didn't care so I pushed through my studies, mostly because I refused myself from talking or laughing to avoid distractions. Then in my last year of vocational school, there were signs around for autism awareness while there were scouts come o school to give us information about theirs.. I got bored during one and looked at the wall, read the autism awareness and just read about a lot of things I did as a child, staring into washing machine, having an object to keep me calm which was a 40 cm ruler later it became my phone because music kept me in check. Because I had intense anxiety around group of people as an introvert and studying and not getting it just gave me a lot of stress But basically after reading it all I started to cry once everybody left because I thought for the longest time I was just not paying enough attention due to ADHD type of habits like always moving, so I had a meltdown, I wasn't ashamed I just wished I had the help I needed without having to struggle so much making summaries for everything. Sharing it with my class and them passing while I get a lower score because of everything else, numbers changing or letters becoming letters during tests and being unable to focus a lot of mental blocks aswell outside of the dyslexic signs aswell.. Reason my name is secretly like this because kids called me Psycho for talking to myself, when really I just had so many thoughts going through my team I talked out loud. So I stopped saying it out loud and kept it all in my head, so in class or tests I could easily lose focus because my own damn inner monologue was distracting or fun. Luckily I figured out that if I have music I can drown out thoughts and my head will just sing along to lyrics, thus letting me focus, so that's why I also always have music on when I'm doing anything. I had that sleep problem too I had to do something wild to fall asleep like just tired myself out to exhaustion, one day I did figure out how to just close my eyes and imagine random thoughts and imagine them as dreams and I would fall asleep very easily... Outside of all this I was also oddly bipolar or had split personalities because my imaginary friend as a kid just became my own personas, which honestly did make me crazy as a teen and would say: we when regarding to myself, luckily I managed to get through that phase by just killing myself in a way and accepting it all, issue is I was used to the different thoughts in my head which lead to me needing music to stay focused, one thought would always repeat what im saying, one would think it before i said it and the other would discuss it while the others would think ahead and on what to change before I say it all.. Which is why when I have music on I would just sing a long in my head, therefore if I sing along I can distract 2 thoughts and ik chilling.. But when I'm stressed? Or panicking? Music won't help I need it off and any ADHD distraction I had needs to be off so I can brainstorm and find a solution but imagine just talking over yourself in 3rd person in your head with 3 lines of thoughts running in your head.. I would be the most dangerous over thinker, luckily this trait does help me think on my feet and be witty, my friends ask me how I'm so quick and I just say: Autism, because now I know 😅 Because lastly as I talk or do anything to stay focused and in order I treat it like a turn based RPG with different scenarios depending what you choose to say or do, so if you say x I'll have a response ready or carried the conversation there just to say the joke or find something out, which when I really thought about it I felt like I was very manipulative, luckily it's usually used while playing actual games or for jokes or studying but yeah.. that one is hard to stop because, last but not least.. I actually think very slow, I hear what you fully say 3 times, but later, so to by pas this I just started to just predict what people were going to say so I'm prepared and ready and not going uhm.. lemme think. But sometimes if the decision could lead to good or bad ones I would actually have to think for a while, because now I'm trying to predict the future aswell and trying to think about what happened in the past, once im okay with the outcome, again like sn rpg like fire emblem then I'll decide.. Anyway thanks for sharing this aswell Dumbs and sorry for the wall of text, hopefully you find your tricks and figure out how to take advantage of it all, probably is during editing videos or obsessions or things you're very passionate about. About the emotional issues, just gotta practice it and talk it out, it's tough and scary but I had to and it helped me. Basically I hated getting attention and people looking at me, so I would walk around and play rock music which isn't common on my island (Curaçao), so if course the other student would look or laugh and be like wtf, and I did it for like 3 years at that school and got used to the looks and got out of my shell and became confident. Stay blessed Dumbs and good luck 🙏🏾
I'm glad to see one of the content creators I follow so much has, too, been struggling with ADHD and Autism. Things like this make myself and others much less self-conscious about the label. Being labelled as a doe-fucker, though...
Who would have guessed 😂 Jokes aside I actually feel you man, it feels like I do the same things as exactly what you said, but I just don't know how to tell my parents. I just can't accept it man.
ADHD is really complex when you look into it. It's not just "Oh you have adhd? so you're bad at sitting down and procrastinate all the time right?" It's a lot more. It affects women and men differently, and even in women, men, and others, *people* experience ADHD differently. Someone might have more than obvious hyperactivity, and some other might be a little on the "low" (aka, empty, unmotivated, depressed, etc) both are still just as much ADHD as everyone else with ADHD or some other special needs. ADHD is real. As far as i'm aware (do correct me if im wrong) that ADHD causes an imbalance in the brain. You lack in serotonin, or dopamine, or both, if you're unlucky enough. That imbalance leads to other mental issues, like depression and feeling that nothing matters or that you're lazy and not trying hard enough. (It also leads to some high highs and low lows, but not like bipolar.) On my part, it led to severe anxiety and social anxiety because it felt like everyone is against me. I was lucky enough to get it diagnosed, but the medication i got didn't make my life easier, and i didn't even know what ADHD was at the time. People might've tried to explain it to me, but it never stuck because they used words that i didn't understand or explained it in a way i didn't understand. In the end, i grew up ostracized from my class with only one friend in the entire school. If someone had told me exactly what ADHD was at the time, i likely would've grown up a little different, and i would've had a better outlook on life. I would've realized that my effort is just as much as anyone else's if not twice that, and most important of all; i would've looked for a better medication that worked for me. But because no one ever directly told me anything, i didn't know anything. To you, it might've been common sense that other types of medication exist, or that the school nurse could help me, but in my ADHD ridden world, if it wasn't said, it didn't exist. The main takeaway here is to support people who have ADHD and special needs beyond that, and to look for medication that suits you if the one you have does not work, or if you feel that you need medication. I can't talk about Autism, since i don't have any personal experience on it or as much information as ADHD, but it's just as important as any other categorized and studied special need.

DUMBSYAP LETS GO!!!
In all seriousness, thank you for this video. I'm AuDHD too and it's so helpful to hear other people's experiences.
Living with ADHD, autism AND being a furry. You are a brave man and I respect you for sharing things like these
No matter what you're still our Dumbs love your content keep up the good work
I can only say that for me the thing that worked for me is trying to not fix myself but rather work with myself. Dont have autism or adhd but have a cousin who is heavily on the spectrum and myself having issues with emotions (just learned about masking and yeap) and previous HEAVY alcohol abuse.

Huge respect to you for sharing this. Iv been struggling with a lot of the same stuff most of my life, so its very nice to see you bring light to this
Now the Lilia thing makes sense
I had struggles socially and mentally for most of my life, always thought maybe I had it but didn't care so I pushed through my studies, mostly because I refused myself from talking or laughing to avoid distractions.
Then in my last year of vocational school, there were signs around for autism awareness while there were scouts come o school to give us information about theirs..

Sharing it with my class and them passing while I get a lower score because of everything else, numbers changing or letters becoming letters during tests and being unable to focus a lot of mental blocks aswell outside of the dyslexic signs aswell..

Anyway thanks for sharing this aswell Dumbs and sorry for the wall of text, hopefully you find your tricks and figure out how to take advantage of it all, probably is during editing videos or obsessions or things you're very passionate about.
About the emotional issues, just gotta practice it and talk it out, it's tough and scary but I had to and it helped me.
Basically I hated getting attention and people looking at me, so I would walk around and play rock music which isn't common on my island (Curaçao), so if course the other student would look or laugh and be like wtf, and I did it for like 3 years at that school and got used to the looks and got out of my shell and became confident.
Stay blessed Dumbs and good luck 🙏🏾
gonna be honest, im not exactly surprised. love you man
Dude, ty for this video, I can relate so much
I have autism aswell, and I think I may have ADHD aswell but not sure, it may just be anxiety being weird. Thanks for being real
I'm glad to see one of the content creators I follow so much has, too, been struggling with ADHD and Autism. Things like this make myself and others much less self-conscious about the label.
Being labelled as a doe-fucker, though...
Who would have guessed 😂 Jokes aside I actually feel you man, it feels like I do the same things as exactly what you said, but I just don't know how to tell my parents. I just can't accept it man.
I'm getting my prognosis tomorrow after one month of testing and talking
I don't know where I'll go after it but maybe it will make things clearer
im only on the spectrum c:
the diagnose i received a few months ago helped out a lot in understanding myself and my expectations

(It also leads to some high highs and low lows, but not like bipolar.)
On my part, it led to severe anxiety and social anxiety because it felt like everyone is against me.
I was lucky enough to get it diagnosed, but the medication i got didn't make my life easier, and i didn't even know what ADHD was at the time. People might've tried to explain it to me, but it never stuck because they used words that i didn't understand or explained it in a way i didn't understand. In the end, i grew up ostracized from my class with only one friend in the entire school.
If someone had told me exactly what ADHD was at the time, i likely would've grown up a little different, and i would've had a better outlook on life. I would've realized that my effort is just as much as anyone else's if not twice that, and most important of all; i would've looked for a better medication that worked for me.
But because no one ever directly told me anything, i didn't know anything. To you, it might've been common sense that other types of medication exist, or that the school nurse could help me, but in my ADHD ridden world, if it wasn't said, it didn't exist.
The main takeaway here is to support people who have ADHD and special needs beyond that, and to look for medication that suits you if the one you have does not work, or if you feel that you need medication.
I can't talk about Autism, since i don't have any personal experience on it or as much information as ADHD, but it's just as important as any other categorized and studied special need.
