the way this video was edited is triggering my ADHD

Just a few minutes into it, and I'm laughing at how relatable the other 2 speakers are; the ones in the top-right and bottom-right. Top-right is *dying* to talk and is taking down notes just to remember 100 points and ideas he has racing in his head, and bottom-right is note taking, doodling or looking at her phone and never looking up at the camera. This instantly made me feel at home lol

I was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD at the same time as my oldest son. I only understood what the issue was because I was in an LD class at university. Now, as a teacher, it is so frustrating that I am not even allowed to suggest to a parent that ADHD may be the issue! It’s no wonder that it’s so difficult to get a diagnosis if you’re not a boy who’s bouncing off the walls.

as an AuDHD person, I couldn't watch past 2:44 because of the audio being all over the place

Lol I've been binging ADHD videos. I recently got diagnosed with combined ADHD, with gerenal anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder. My first day of Concerta removed all the anxiety and low mood I felt everyday and it gave me calmness and motivation that I had not felt. Lol I wish I had known when I was a child.. life would be different right now. But at least I know I can focus on things without fighting myself to get things done.

RUclips algorithm shared this video to me. This is so self-assuring hearing these stories as I feel I've had experience in all the experiences. I've never been diagnosed with ADHD as I flew under the radar, making good enough grades, being well-behaved. But the almost getting kicked out of undergrad and the being able to do things in a panic, and only being able to do things in a panic speak to me.

The first speaker who was talking about having to walk around and she couldn't sit still, even though it is a symptom of hyperactive ADHD, it sounds like "stimming" due to being under stimulated possibly.

Hi everyone, I really need an advice from someone who knows this. I seem having many of the symptoms that has been pointed out in several sources, such as videos and professional articles on ADHD. I also have a history of hardship somewhat similar to what Aaron Croft was talking about. I've decided to seek professional help. One of the psychiatric centres offers a so called Gibson test as a professional method of diagnostics. It is a bit costly to me, but I still would be happy to go for it if somebody would be lovely and assured me that this is one of the good ways to start off. Many thanks for any words.

I am 44 years old and scheduled to be evaluated for ADHD in a few weeks. I can’t tell you how much I relate to this content, thank you.

The older I get, I’m not as able to pull off the last minute miracles as well and it creates more stress than it used to.

I like your calm self acceptance about it and I know it’s not always easy.

Wow! You’ve come a long way. I’m so impressed that you have not only identified ADHD, but have many tools for dealing with it and are able to help others professionally.

I'm so glad more people are opening up about this. I thought I was just the weirdo for so many years. And now I'm getting to a point where I am losing my words when trying to articulate myself. It's so frustrating! I'm so happy I've just realized that I have ADHD. I'm about to go get my official diagnosis next week. I can't wait.

Getting real tired of the 'it looks different in women vs men' agenda. It's ADHD, you're either inattentive, hyperactive, or mixed. Women and Men can be all 3. Yes, maybe women present more often with inattentive, doesn't mean it looks different.

2:00 Same. I watch Dr. Katz Professional Therapist on low volume before bed and just let it play on shuffle all night. I have for several years.

HOLY CANOLI!!! Aryiana narrated my life. Every.Thing.!!! I'm glad she was able to bring a unique perspective to this conversation. The different and demanding constraints on black children, to how she coped growing up, to how she is able always relate back to "how am I treating my body," etc. Also, by saying she was happy with who and where she is now and being honest about how her past shaped her. THIS has been an Absolutely remarkable video for me. I'm deeply greatful and hope she can come back on a semi-regular basis. God bless❤

I would like to know Ms. White's strategies for studying for her LCSW with ADHD. Im just discovering this and taking mine in June and would like to hear her thoughts.

Definitely one of the most validating videos I’ve watched, thankyou! 🙏🏻

I have had a few friends growing up, not many!!! I have had adhd my entire life. I was actually called "hyperactive" young. My skin literally crawls when i am bored or with ppl who dont like me

I love doodling during lame office meetings, i LOVED seeing 👀 my manager giving me angry eyes as.i doodled eye balls on my precious steno pad

I am exactly like the guy. For real 100%

Much of this was eye opening for me. I have deadlines at work but I can never seem to get them done early. Only when I am having my boss breath down my neck and I'm going through massive panic do I get everything done and get it done quickly. Then I get reprimanded for "why wasn't it done earlier?". I don't have a good answer. Makes me happy that I have an appointment in a few weeks to speak with a professional.

Very informative.

15:28 from this point, its very powerful and core to adults with ADHD 😢

I had a doctor tell me that you are too old to be diagnosed for ADHD and you are a woman and you are too old for any sort of medication or treatment! WTH?

Aron's account nearly made me cry. Due to issues with focus I'm currently really struggling to complete university (for the second time) and its beginning to affect my day job too. This has been exhaserbated by working from home since Covid because i feel so disconnected and disengaged with the work. I've always just thought it was me - i managed through school but started falling apart at A Levels and University the first time around was a disaster and i quit before finishing with depression. I have a family now, which is my motivation and 'urgency/pressure' to complete this. It's only upon researching ADHD for my son that i've come across inattentive ADHD and hearing people's accounts are so familiar. I'm wondering what to do and whether i should go to the doctor to try and get a diagnosis, though i'm worried what if i don't get it? I've tried loads of techniques such as pomodoro and creating my own urgency, but even turning focus to these things feels almost impossible.

To everyone except the inattentive ADD sufferers because we don’t have the attention span for this long form s**t 😂

Theres usually someone in the family who shows these symptoms .. mom or dad.. a parent being undiagnosed makes it so hard for the child

@the entire speakerpanel Part of the ADHD is a bloodtest (atleast in Germany), what did the doctor say about your potencial comorbitities like Diabities, hypothyroiditis,etc? Did you do additionel tests for lack of nutrients, Epstein Barr Virus, Lyme diseases, Testerone etc ? If so, what did you find ? Cheers from Germany

Lady Catnip - I was never formally diagnosed, because I was off the charts excellent at everything but math. I simply could NOT pay attention, and even now (I'm a grandma) things with number concepts behind them are very difficult for me. My teachers were unanimous at report card time: "If she would just pay more attention to details. . ." I was accepted at a phenomenal university that didn't require any math for my Language/Literature major, and graduated with honors. So, basically, I've proven that you can get through life reasonably well AND avoid math if that's the only thing that trips you up.

Thank you for communicating so openly and for sharing context. Being open about your own growth of awareness gives others hope, that they can make adaptive changes in order to do life, and communicate, better.

Linda Roggli from adhd diva and palooza are a life saver for yearly up to date research - like a round up of Neuro science and research annually, give it a look.

I see 4 people that have to share talking time, and I am going to pass on this. 4 is just too much. I hate interruptions, it is to frustrating when Im following a line of reason and someone with poor impulse control butts in and derails the thought. 15 minutes and nothing is said!

I was recently diagnosed with Inattentive ADHD at 48. I was originally diagnosed with anxiety and depression 20 years ago, but I always felt there was something else going on. At 48, I am learning so much about myself!

The distinction between finishingbat the lat minute and starting at the last minute is a good one.

❤❤thank you for sharing this.

The last woman made me tear up. As a black woman, the was no failure allowed, grit was something you had to acquire. You figured it out. I had all the ideas but a lot of difficulty with follow thru. And I still did amazing things feeling like I was lazy and dumb but I had no choice but to figure it out and make it work. I was diagnosed at 50 and all the depression, anxiety, panic attacks, not being able to live up to what my own vision was, was explained. Why I was good a everything, but master of nothing. I created a life that allowed me to live as a music educator and musician. But I just thought my lack of success(by my terms) was just because I just didn’t work hard enough. Medication allows me to access the insane energy I have to complete things without the requisite anxiety, depression, ruminating thoughts, distraction etc. that messed with me before that made me feel like I was a bad person. An unexpected adhd diagnosis has changed everything and made me understand the why and how I can work well and be my version of success.

Wow this is me. Thank you.

I was diagnosed in my early 50s, in the UK. I was awarded a 2:2 for my BSc (Hons) degree. I had been awarded 2 PG Diplomas. I my marks for both were in a 2:1 territory. In all 3 cases I couldn't focus enough to submit a dissertation. The support of a friend allowed me to explore why. After some research, I was diagnosed with Dyslexia, and ADHD ( hyperactive/ inattentive) sub type.

K so the solution is adderall? What is it that makes these interviewees function now? What does adderall actually do?

Miserable fn life. That’s what is it. Watching people now half my age pass me by. Stuck in low level jobs, yet traditionally educated and seemingly qualified to move up. Only reason I stick around are the moments when my mind cooperates. Which takes about 2-3hrs to engage and the balance of the study session is intermittent moments of useful thoughts. Fn ridiculous

New subscriber. I wish I could have told my mother about this before she died. She had it worse than me and we had no clue this existed, me in the 70s as a child or her in the 30s. Now my daughter has it. She’s so lucky there’s awareness now. We thought we were just stupid weirdos and lacked self esteem. We knew we weren’t stupid though and none of it made sense.

I’m so distracted by compassion for the non-talking participants 😄 this was not a very ADD-sensitive interview style 😂

Thank you 🙏. God bless you and your guests. Whatever she said I experience daily. I have been diagnosed with depression anxiety and ADHD. I felt her so deeply, I AM TIRED ALL THE TIME!!!! no matter if i got enough sleep but i am still tired!!!

Thanks for this video. I am a new subscriber and currently awaiting an ADHD diagnosis at 45. I live in the UK. I can relate to so much of what was said here👏

So true. Getting diagnosed is a privilege. Doctors blow off my suspicions.

I am Aaron 😢

The first person is high off the 'neurodiversity' kool-aid. They are wrong. ADHD **is** a mental disorder.

This was kind of very comforting to hear. Thanks for these fine people to open up publicly. I feel them. 🙏🏻

I’m 73 and I would like to know if I have ADHD as a senior adult. Recent incidents have made this relevant and proper meds for anxiety is needed. Do I start with my current PCP? Or do I find someone who specializes in adhd as Dr Mason from GR Mich. I live in Holland, Mi.
