The Second Half of Advocacy
Просмотров 22110 лет назад
Parents often think of Advocacy as a struggle to get an IEP that they are comfortable with. Unfortunately, that is only half of the battle. Parents must be ever vigilant to see that the services and/or accommodations in the IEP or 504 plan are being implemented, and effective.

The school system should be held accountable for not recognizing sooner and providing services. Do they not receive additional funding for IEPS or 504s?

I'm doing a bit of necroposting, but I can't stress enough how useful was this talk. I'm currently doing a project for college about ADHD, and I stumbled upon this while searching for material to work it. I was also diagnosed with ADHD not long ago, so everything you said resonated with me, even 10 years after this. Thanks a bunch.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to reach out. I’m glad you found the presentation helpful. Please share it with anyone you think it could help.
@@roberttudisco4798 Will do!
I intentionally procrastinate studying for my physics even though i know it's destructive. It's miserable. I'm going to see a cbt specialist. I've been struggling for a couple years now and stagnating in engineering school. Hopefully i will graduate as an engineer. I doubt it at this point. I thought i would outgrow my adhd, apparently not. I also thought perhaps this was all nonsense and an excuse for me being dumb even though when i was young i tested just below gifted. Perhaps that test was inaccurate and I'm actually too low to become an engineer. Both outcomes are possible. Hopefully the therapy will help, because i have been cycling the same failing patterns over and over again. Time to try a different approach. Wishing you all luck who deals with this shit.
Thank you for watching. You don’t out grow something that is hard wired into your central nervous system, but sometimes you unknowingly find ways to cope. I hope you found something useful in the presentation.
I dropped out of 6 collage programs, graduated from 1 - i got a crappy diploma that got me nowhere. I have new hobbies every few weeks and cycle through them but can't stick to any of them. I cant keep a job and usually have the urge to quit after 1, 2 months.
Really liked your video.
Thank you for watching. I hope you found it helpful.
Here i am, watching this video instead of working on my paper due tomorrow
Thank you. I'm 23 but I've never been formally diagnosed. No one around me seems to be like me, at least none of the people I admire. I've made numerous audio recordings and notes I've never listened to or read, been constantly late, been chronically disorganized, and have a tendency to just wing it. I've always hated myself for it. I think you're the first person I can both admire and relate to.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I’m glad you found it helpful. Please share with anyone you think it may help.
I laughed out loud when you said the part about the school kids having done the homework but its scrunched up in a locker. I laughed because my god its just so accurate, I feel like that one sentence is a metaphor for my whole life. Thanks, absolutely brilliant talk, second time I'm watching it

Awesome video i felt so understood and from a fellow poet myself that was a brilliant poem
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to reach out. I’m glad the presentation made you feel understood. As far as the poem is concerned, when you write something from the heart, the greatest gift you can get is knowing that it touched someone else’s.
Love this video. I wish I live in the US cause Adhd isn't even a thing in my country. Went to multiple hospitals but no one there believed that this exist. Menta health care is terrible in my country
Sorry to hear that, but it is real and you are not alone. I’m glad you found the presentation helpful.

I am a law student in Berlin and just figured out i have ADHD at 21. I am struggling with how theoretical university is and how overly structured. I Funktion well in arguments and in extrem situations like you and feel like it’s the right thing but i also feel paralyzed and procrastinate because in Germany it’s all so theoretical. I want to get a grip but it’s still a Prozess. I hope with time I find my place and your talk gave me a lot of hope. Thank you very much!

This hot girl in high school wanted to try my medication. I was willing to make an 'exchange' lol. Oopsy. That law that giving is selling is a blatant violation of Rules as Written and Spirit of law.
I'm starting my second year (third semester) of psychology and im so terrified alredy (second day). I could swear I was prepared, im taking meds now so i can go through the 4hours of class every day but then i need to study after and i don't have the energy anymore, I'm tired. Also, im so lonely and im so confused with everything, i cry when i don't understand bc i need to self rrgulate myself and i feel so embarrassed bc of it. My medication helps me so much, the last semester was horrible. Anyeay, I have 8 different subjects this semester (its a must, I can't take less) and im scared, Im so scared.
This may not be much help, but you are definitely not alone. There are a lot of us out here just like you. Sometimes there is some comfort in knowing that.

If one is undiagnosed with learning disabilities and / or ADHD, they graduate from college and possibly graduate school, maybe the transition to the workplace maybe tougher , @roberttudisco the workplace does not accommodate LD and / or ADHD, however many qualifications one has . Undiagnosed ADHD and / or undiagnosed learning disabilities looking for work can be tough .
The workplace is required to provide accommodations under Section 504 and the ADA, however it requires the employee to self report their disability, provide a documented diagnosis and request reasonable accommodations.
What was the book mentioned in the video? I can't sit through the whole thing again rn. Great presentation btw! I have ADHD, I'm in Uni, and this has been very helpful and encouraging
Thanks for watching. The book was likely Driven to Distraction, by Hallowell and Ratey.
@@roberttudisco4798 Yes, yes! Thank you!
BETWEEN COLLEGE COURSES WHICH I PASSED MOST EXCEPT 1 D IN MATH I LIKED READING BOOKS MUCH MORE THAN TAKING COLLEGE COURSES. DOING HOME WORK OR READING A BOOK???? SADLY I PICKED READING A BOOK. NEVER COMPLETED A MAJOR IN ANYTHING. ONLY COLLEGE COURSES AND ONE D IN MATH.
I should've seen this when I was in college... its too late now... i fucked up

@@roberttudisco4798 I told the ADDA Prez about you and he said "Where have you been?" 😆😆

I’m currently in my 1st semester of university and this spoke to me… I got diagnosed at the end of my last year of high school and meds changed my life. They gave me so much motivation and the power to be able to turn my education around, I still failed high school but I was able to complete a tertiary course that got me into uni, where I am now. During that course I was getting straight A+ (aside from 2 assignments where I got an A!) and I couldn’t believe it. But here at uni I’m barely scraping by, I’m doing much worse than I was before and I’m failing tests and assignments. I’m filled with so much anxiety because I’m trying to get into medical school which requires excellent grades, I keep looking back to me during that course and thinking “what’s wrong with me? I was doing so well”. This video made me realise… during that course I was living at home and the class size was small. My lecturers knew I had ADHD, were so kind and helped me, my classmates and I all knew each other and would all go study together after class, I’d go home and my mum would be there to encourage me and make sure that I studied at the dining room table until dinner (was my own goal, she just made sure I stuck to it), every time I felt like I was unable I had a community of people there to motivate me and hold me accountable. But for uni, I’ve had to move to a new city, living away from home with 500+ people in my lectures and with hardly any friends in my degree. The only support I have is my alarms that I ignore and the impending doom of failure which sits heavy on my chest until the due date draws too near. It’s not just my meds, it’s the things around me which help, and now that I don’t have those I’m struggling. At least now I know that it’s not me just being lazy, it’s that I’ve lost a whole bunch of coping mechanisms and support which worked with my meds. It’s scary, but I think I might have to reach out to those around me and ask for help, because I can’t go on alone. Thank you, I loved this talk!!! Now I have to go back to studying for my exams 😅
Thank you for watching and for reaching out. I’m glad you found it helpful. Please feel free to share.
Thank you for this. It's important to be able to laugh at our quirks as ADHD folks. I've just been let go from my job despite being a hard worker and strong contributor. Why? Because in-between my successes, I also fail often. And my career is one where you can't afford to fail as much as I do. So there's that. Thank you for comforting me with this talk.
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching and for reaching out.
Hi, could you please enable CC on this video? The button is grayed out. Thanks!
I’m not sure how to do it, but I will try. Thanks for the suggestion.
I just ordered both books recommended thus far... And I am going to try and see my doctor BEFORE next year. (Social phobic)😅
I hope you found the presentation helpful.
I actually had to pause it midway... I ordered the books, then ended up on Amazon, customizing a shirt that read "think outside the box? ...I LIVE outside the box!"... THEN, it seemed to me too needy?🤔 Of a shirt to wear ("hey, look at ME...ME soooo special") so ended up customizing a shirt instead to read: "I am OVERLY aware how annoying I am... But I don't know how to f*cking STOP!" That I have a meme of... With a larger picture since the meme file was too small to show crisply when enlarged on shirt. 😓🫣🤣😂🤣😂 Now... BACK to your video, and back to the months stack of dirty dishes I was supposed to be working on.
I think I need an emotional support human. Y'know, kinda like a boyfriend/husband but with no benefits?🤔 (I score zero on sexxxy scale - Asexual)
Listening to this, I'm reminded of my mom's furious hatred of my cleaning system because I put things in piles, don't make my bed, leave my shoes in a specific spot, and always leave my closet open so I can see everything inside it. She hates coming to visit my dorm because of my cleaning system LMAO
See what I do is, I have a lot of dice trays and DND content, and I use that to organize my things. So my dice mug and my tray holds keys, wallets, and stuff like that, while I have an old tackle box for my computer stuff, bags of trash and unclean clothes, and a pile of stuffed animals for study time. It's chaotic but it's totally my space
I totally know what you mean
You're such a good speaker! Maintaining that energy level for 1 hour is impressive
Thank you for saying so. I think it is the passion that generates energy. I hope you found the information helpful. Please feel free to share with anyone you think would benefit.

I laughed out loud when you said collapsible dog dish. Exactly what was on my ADHD mind.
I’m glad you enjoyed the presentation.
I'm an ADHD millennial who graduated hs in 2004 and is now teaching at a university. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 31 yo. The difference in conversations about ADHD between the noughties and now is almost total, it seems. Growing up hearing adults disparage and deny the reality of ADHD has given me some trauma and mental tension about it which I think severed me from possibilities of looking into it much sooner. This is something i know a lot of you can relate to. It's really nice to see how positive the conversations about ADHD have become in the past few years. But still, employers need to take it way more seriously than they do.
Thank you for watching. I was diagnosed at 34, 24 years ago. At the time there was very little information about ADHD in adults. I did my own research and started writing about my experiences. Now there is much more information. Another thing to consider is that the down playing by parents is complicated. Some of it is about protecting children from stigma. Some of it is about how it might reflect on themselves as parents. But, there also may be some guilt at not looking into it or doing something about it sooner. I am very public about my ADHD because I think it is the only way to meet stigma head on. But I also have the luxury of being an attorney who represents children with disabilities. It is an asset to me at work. But that isn’t the case for most adults on the job. I’ve written an article about ADHD on the job. If you are interested in reading it you can email me at robert@roberttudisco.com
Relate to this so much.
I’m glad you found it helpful.
Im a 59yo guy with ADD on meds for the past 10 years. Life is still a struggle. It is hard to stay on task to finish projects at work and at home. Time DEFINATELY passes differently for me than for my wife.
As someone with ADHD, the fact that you have responded to SO many comments blows my mind. Text messages, emails, etc are so overwhelming to me to keep up with. But this video made me feel so heard. It’s so frustrating when people can’t fully understand how my brain works. It’s so relieving to hear others talk about it and make me feel less alone. Great presentation! Definitely sending to my parents haha they’ll love this. Especially my dad who has adhd, you remind me a lot of him :)
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment. I am glad you found the information helpful. I think that there is an enormous amount of comfort in knowing that you are not alone. The purpose was to reach those with ADHD to put their frustrations into words and also to help those without understand what it is like to see the world through our eyes.
I have diagnoses of dyspraxia, ADHD and Aspergers traits ( autistic traits ) as an adult , after graduating. As a child there were concerns about my coordination. I am a British national. I got a degree aged 20 in 1999, pgdip in 2000, statistics qualification 2008. I knew I had dyspraxia aged 23, I received a diagnosis of dyspraxia aged 33, Spring 2012. I had an assessment for Aspergers, Aspergers traits , not very practical. I had a nervous breakdown to get my ADHD detected, February 2020, aged 41. I received a diagnosis of ADHD, August 2020, aged 41. I am self employed. I am not married, no children. Underachievement. My ADHD was missed, because I was well behaved in school, intelligent and driven .

I’m astounded by your sheer complete and easy to assimilate understanding of ADHD. I’m learning about for the past few months for the first time in my life. It’s been a difficult and much of the time overwhelming struggle for me and it’s such a gift to receive from your video! Thank you❤

Hahaha hes too funny!!! He has an art and engaged so much with the audience almost feels like I am in the room. Cracked me up a lot and made me feel better. We got this! <3
I just commented on Brigette NP's Video I am undiagnosed with ADHD I have MS since I was 17 and just attribute my scattered mind doing twenty different things at once (believing I am being productive cuz I can get a few things done thinking its better when its not) then forgetting what I am supposed to do and blaming it on that disease when I know deep down there's something more going on; its so frustrating. Definitely appreciate you mentioned self-torture I didn't realize it at the time but doing self-sabotage seems to be a thing lately. Not proud to admit that. I really want to do design and be an entrepreneur but I am still trying to figure out what career or what I love that fits the way my mind works/ what I can handle etc. If I do indeed have ADHD which I immensely feel I do but I still want an objective medical opinion. I feel that my mind is so scattered I asked her if she also struggles with short-term memory loss because I cope with this by digital hoarding but then I end up spending so much time trying to get digitally organized on top of this ha (: it is kind of a vicious cycle. More like a hot mess that I keep ignoring that is getting worse at 27 now.... but I digress. She was showing great advice and tips on how to live a healthier lifestyle to make the ADHD work for you and not against you if you want to not take the medication route.
P.S. I love the collapsible dog dish 🤣I am gonna have to try that but pimp it out.<3 Thank you for being such a great speaker. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, experiences, and what has worked for your truly making a difference in people's lives.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to reach out. I’m also very happy to know that in addition to getting useful information, you found the presentation entertaining. It is difficult to keep to people with ADHD engaged for such a long video.

@@roberttudisco4798 great and very useful information. I can relate to everything you said, especially looking back at how much I struggled through some classes (like math) and at work.
Oh dear. I was diagnosed with adhd in October at the age of 34. After struggling with my bachelors degree for 10 YEARS. sure, I switched school, had 2 kids, was diagnosed with depression that I had for years, and finally it all makes sense. I just can not manage exams. The subjects are so fascinating and I just couldn't let go of that. I know that I am smart. I get it, but I can't deal with the time limit during the exams. Time perception way off 🤪 and stress leads to blockages during exams.So I fail everything the first time I write the exams. Now I will be thrown out of my uni because I failed chemistry a second time, with half a point. I wish I had known Earlier to gain more knowledge about my brain and have the tools in place for me showing what I am actually capable of. Too bad the university here just keeps the system where people like me can't thrive and contribute.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to reach out. I hope you found the presentation helpful.
Amazing Robert. Just amazing. I’ve not heard someone talk about the wet blanket paralysis thing we get when a deadline is looming in such a great understandable way before. I’m a physio with add. High functioning like yourself. Similar iq scores in those areas. I am also dyslexic too. I’ve found my girlfriend helps my life tremendously with routine and keeping on track. I really struggle to prep for interviews and get so nervous. Thrive off kinaesthetic and visual learning. Trying recently to stop being so hard on myself and self-tortuous, k is my limits and take time with things but it’s hard when you have passion and drive in excess. Also a beautiful poem. I have shared with my girlfriend who is soon to be a clinical psychologist.. who would predicted she would be with me! We truly are brilliant in some ways, just misunderstood. Finding someone who takes time to understand you both and work and in friendship and relationships should not be overlooked.
Thank you for watching and for leaving such a detailed and heartfelt comment. We all struggle very similarly, but also each in our own way. In addition to adults like you appreciating the same struggles, I get many parents commenting that it was helpful to understand the frustration from their child’s perspective. If you would like a copy of the poem, you can email me at robert@roberttudisco.com and I will send you a pdf.
21, I'm not diagnosed and haven't met with a therapist yet, but I really identify with the videos I've seen of "How to ADHD" with Jessica McCabe. I was always called out for daydreaming and spacing out in class, and would somehow always lose my sweater or lunchbox as a kid. Also, homework was an endless struggle no matter how old I got, it would take hours to do a simple task that probably would take 15 mins tops on a really focused day. I feel like I had learned to mask these symptoms by the time I got into high school mostly. But in college, I'm finding that I can't keep doing what I've done during my school years, it's not healthy or sustainable to continue like I've been. So since then, I've been researching things I can do and I'm building the courage I need to go to a therapist and talk about it. Through the algorithm, I got your video suggested to me. Thank you for going out and lecturing about this, it lets people like me find more information and know that we're not alone.
Your are definitely not alone. There are a lot of us out here just like you. Thanks for watching and please share with anyone you think it might help, or to those you think don’t understand.
I'm 6mins in & I'm like "THAT'S IT"... when I'm in a class/lecture, doctor's appt w/a lot of info thrown at me, watching a movie w/MANY important characters... Thx for a way to explain it.
Thanks for watching. Please share with anyone you think it might help.
I was still in denial when I started watching this (Got diagnosed a few weeks ago). But at the end, my life experiences, thought processes, and systems are too similar to yours 😂 It’s funny that you mentioned planes because at my lowest point, I thought maybe if I switch careers to air traffic control or some urgent services, I might soothe the hyperactivity in my brain and be tired enough to be sleepy at night. It took me years to realize how I operate was not the norm and have the courage to ask if something was wrong with me. I think this was just the thing I needed to end my grieving period. It’s an understatement, but thank you so much!
