As a not-yet diagnosed ADHD person, I had to skip the first 4 minutes as it was too slow to get into the detail! Perhaps that only confirms my ADHD diagnosis! :D

It's a shame the cameraman could not show the slides the speaker was talking to. It makes it tricky to understand what he is referring to. Perhaps this could be considered next time.

Arrived here from the ADHD NZ website, hoping that there would be a link to the slides in the video description. Sadly there is not, and I'm finding it exceptionally difficult to focus just on the speech when it's referencing information displayed on invisible slides. As a result, the video has just become background noise and I'm not taking it in at all. :(

Tips start after 9mins 😊

Thank you for this. Is there somewhere I can view/access the presentation Dr Speedan was showing during this talk?

what an awesome watch, would love to see an update!

The new thing about adhd is the new ticktoc trendys trivialising it coz they are a bit querky coz they loose theire keys.

Thanks a lot Is very helpful

Yes I want my own dopamine factory in my brain working hard my brand name is focus.

Don't stop making videos

Consider raising the camera so you look directly at the lense and does not block you eyes with your glasses

Argh... this woman saying yes after everything is making it unbearable 😢

This drug wont fix anything! Band-aid solutions do not work because they do not address the root of the problem, they just mask them/cover them up...band-aid. ❤ Say no to drugs and yes to Jesus!

Thank you for sharing your insights, thoughts and possible solutions to just being a human and being you. So many of us out there are wondering why we are here and if there is meaning and purpose to being on this earth and being one of billions in the rat race. Every day of my life has been questioning that. I know will never get answers. You are young and live in a beautiful area. Don't wind up alone, don't seek loneliness and answers, don't step back from society too much or over analyze life. It is a lonely, depressing life, I know.

how. are u adhd nz and make a video not tailored to adhd patientsn or perspextive pstients

Thanks for this, this was a very helpful video

This sounds "dumb" , f..k I've gone through absolute sh.t for 45yrs,now I realise it's adhd. I reckon the system knows about it, but doesn't want us to be the best we can be. Doesn't want constructive positive change. Perhaps adhd people are of more use to the system, because we create mess,& stress,and keep the prison & boy's homes & special needs numbers up. As long as there's problems...everyone gets money except the people that need it. Everyone gets a job(psychiatrist psychologist) to help 'them'...meanwhile people like me suffer & struggle to live up to all the expectations of people around us. F..k adhd...it sux...This nz perspective on adhd looks lame, its got an ugly insignia (looks like a 'used' sanitary pad). It looks depleted & miserable!

I need some help, yeah...hurry up.this sucks I've been waiting for years!

How do we see the slides at the same time?

Why not refilm this with improved sound and views of the screen. It would be amazingly good.

I cried after watching this video. Not sure why. I guess it just feels daunting, being just diagnosed, a week or two ago, as an adult, and knowing how much work I have ahead of myself, and being scared I won't be able to do it. Man, I hope I can do it. I really hope I can. I see no future for myself otherwise. Not the one I want, at least. Edit: I'm on meds now and it's all good. Life is good. I can do my laundry. I can do anything. Long live meth!

A transcript or slideshow of this would be helpful.

Great advice. Definitely will be applying these hacks. Thank you.

Comparing intentions to outcomes is a nice way to describe the issue. I'm going to remember that the next time I try to explain my ADD to someone.

I'm glad I had a strict ass artistic and educational based mother, church for a time, and a therapist for some structure lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂 I think alot of my relationships have failed, because of my ADHD 💀💀💀💀💀💀

😝 p̶r̶o̶m̶o̶s̶m̶

Anyone else watch on 1.25 speed? Just ADHD things lol

"We thought it would be a laugh to be a lawyer". I'm pretty sure that is the definition of ADHD. You are an inspiration!

He talks to slow for my adhd brain

Good video. At certain times you sound a little bit like Tony's psychiatrist Dr Milfie ( Lorain Bracco) from The Sopranos

The takeaway, as I understand it, is that managing ADHD means gaining a suite of new or unfamiliar skills, attitudes, and habits. Medication won't make that process automatic or easy, just easier.

I ended up putting the video to 1.25x to be able to focus on it better.

I can’t finish watching the video just now though 😭😭😭 meds are wearing off, but that’s ok, I’ll finish another day :)

This is exactly what I needed to hear. Two weeks into taking the higher dose of medication I realised that the medication gave me the opportunity to understand adhd where as without it, I didn’t have a chance - this is different from autism, which I was able to learn about and come to a place of acceptance with and now it seems, I’ll be going through a similar process with adhd, with the help of medication. But then a couple of more weeks down the line I looked around and I was not only surrounded by mess again but I had barely done anything if anything at all productive in the last couple of weeks, which made me think 🤔 ha - this is what understanding adhd will enable me to do, i.e. organise my life in a way that supports my adhd brain instead of the medication suddenly enabling me to do that without any effort, which it did in the first couple of weeks - I think I was expecting too much from the medication or maybe not too much but that my vision was very narrow at that point. I’ve also learned that the medication helps me to access my feelings better; being autistic as well I have difficulty accessing or experiencing emotions other than happy and hyper or suicidal 😩 but I’ve noticed that when I take my medication I’m able to access and recognise my emotions much easier which I’m really happy about as I think this will help with preventing burnout and from getting overwhelmed by feelings and it will stop them backing up 🤷🏽‍♀️ maybe ~ that’s what I’m thinking anyway. Since starting medication, a little over a month ago, I’ve realised a lot already, such as ‘this is why I have never been able to sit still’ and many other things like that but also many things that I hadn’t thought about before. So I think this is going to be quite the journey and although I’d much rather not go on this particular journey, I know from experience that I have no option if I want to live a life of my choosing. The alternative is more like deep active addiction and early death, and I don’t want that but I think I can learn about adhd as I go along whereas with the autism, I did nothing else really but learn about my autism but I was in a severe burn out at that time so I had loads of time to learn about it, then coming out of burnout I thought I would be going full steam ahead back into life …. which I’m realising is just my adhd brain talking 😵‍💫 I’ve got a lot to learn but I am looking forward to it in a way and I’m hoping I can some how share what I learn with others to help cut down their learning time and give them some support while they’re going through it. I may not meet all the plans I’ve ever had but realising how much adhd has negatively impacted my life my whole life, I think I will be happy and satisfied if I can help others to get a better understanding of themselves and help them learn how to create lives that support their unique way of being, to achieve their goals so they can live in this world without having to mask or change and to show the world that the world really does need all kinds of minds and that ours are just as valuable as the neurotypical mind. ☺️

Thank you for this. I'm only exploring this topic now and it's quite overwhelming. This had a very reassuring tone.

I really needed to see this, thanks!!

Is this good for teenagers? Are these strategies applicable for all genders? How does adhd affect girls on their periods. My kid was recently diagnosed and is very stressed. I want to help her. I think I'm making it worse. I just want her to be happy but I'm lost.

Absolutely loved this. Also, “Wildboy” (Brando) is a huge inspiration for our ADHD boy 🙌
