Finally someone creates a video about it, that doesnt show energetic children jumping to one spot to the other place
+RedDevilus u are talking about ADD, without the "H" in ADHD, hyperactivity... basicly the same tho.
+O Matlo B True in the form of definition but not in real life. You can be hyperactive not in actions but in the way you feel: like a dormant energy that explodes in certain conditions. I know it cuz i have good self-control but can turn in uncontrollable movement or randomness. Some people get comfortable in public places and others only at home. Look up crystal child for what i mean with not always active
I've come to learn it really on happens when you are around others. I was surprised the kid didn't try to interact with the others at the bus stop, annoying them. CAuse that is a factor as well
ADHD has nothing to do with someone being an introvert or extrovert.
+O Matlo B ADD/ADHD were merged under DSM V a few years ago. Now it is ADHD: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive, and combined type. All three include symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity, though. It can present very differently due to culture, sex and age.
The worst for me was in school when I finished my work later than everyone else and my teacher continuously called me lazy in front of the whole class. And when she caught me daydreaming once, I remember her asking “why do you have ears? To actually use them, or are they just ornaments for your head?”
I remember being so frustrated because I KNEW that I knew stuff, I knew that I wasn’t stupid or lazy or trying to be a difficult student, but for some reason I just couldn’t do the work on time, I couldn’t finish my tests, I couldn’t pay attention in class. Finding out I had ADHD was one of the best moments in my life, cuz for the first time, I had someone tell me that I wasn’t inherently lazy or useless
Mostly the same here. My teachers were good, but I was always late with finishing off tests and assignments, and I felt like shit. I thought I was just lazy. I already have a hearing disability, so I always thought that was the only thing I couldn't control. When I was finally diagnosed with adhd, I was relieved. I finally knew what it was, and how to make it less difficult.
Thank you N for sharing your lived experience with ADHD. I was brought back to the similar experiences I had throughout school. Once I received a proper diagnosis at eighteen and received treatment my life changed for the better. The relief I experienced was akin to an individual with impaired vision their entire life receiving glasses able to go forth in life with clarity.
Dude same. Loved getting it diagnosed hate living with it
@@anthonys2058 N? what
Actually I went through the exactly same school experience as you..
i love this so much because the dad ends up coming through to save him, despite how he messed up. that's my mom for me. no matter what i've done, my mom has always been there to save me. god damn it this got me so bad.
God bless your mom, seriously.
omg, me too..., im very thankfull for my mom for being patient for my behavior even tho my mom doesnt know if i have adhd yet
same for me too, I found this video completely randomly and gosh it got my crying so bad, I couldn't stop watching myself thru him
I haven't cried about my son's childhood in a long time. This is a beautiful, important piece of work. I would like for every teacher to watch it and maybe, hopefully, find some compassion.
if I only had parents who really care about me.
Your comment touched me and saddened me. I know you wrote this comment two years ago, and I don't know how old you are, but I hope your relationship with your parents has improved. If you have ADHD, it often feels like nobody understands us. My teacher in fifth grade pulled me aside and told me that my problem was that I was lazy. That's how I felt about myself for many years until I became diagnosed many years later. Parents who don't understand think that their child is lazy or apathetic, and don't understand the pain we go through. Show them this video. Talk to a counselor at school or in the community about what's going on with you and your parents. They should be able to help you with ways to help improve your relationship and to help you fell better. (Also, check out the RUclipsr, "How to ADHD."
@@lmagigian You sound overly idealistic.
@Rene Porsche People don't understand and won't bother to. Find help yourself since the disorder is overdiagnosed and institutions have detached their empathy for people like us. From my experience, counselors and schools just treat my ADHD related stuff as "just another illness" and just provide whatever treatment like a protocol. They won't stand up for you and they won't give you encouragement. When parents fail to fulfill that role of giving love and support its better to stay alone than to be with people that make you feel alone. Try to reach out and help others if you can inspire them and ease their suffering it'll help bring a little happiness in your life also. Personally the schools have not only messed up my accommodations but also teachers have accused me of abusing them. Many of my peers judge me and have confronted me about my accommodations but all you can do shug, laugh, and take a nap. At some point you'll learn to not be angry or sad anymore. Forgive your parents, respect that they are different people and establish boundaries. Love isn't as simple as always being together. Focus on yourself and at some point you might find good people you can surround yourself with one day. Good luck to you all!
I’m sorry🙁 At least you can be a good parent when/if you have kids
I'm 25's and I just now about this.. too late
I hope you know that the way your brain works matters. The world wasn’t built for us and it sucks. But there’s nothing wrong with you, and you’re gonna be able to do so much cool stuff.
My life with attention deficit disorder is pretty much like that, and i'm greatful that someone finally made an animation of it.
When I showed this to my mom, she showed it to my sister and she cried at the end. She asked why we would show such sad stuff to her and my mom replied "But that is just like your sisters life...",
Thanks for making this. Everytime i need to calm down or start dreaming again I play the music of this in my Head. It's making me smile a lot.
Thanks for sharing your talent, it's awesome
Gonna show it to my students who want to become elementary teachers and social workers. It gently shows us what it is like to have attention issues. Very nicely done!
I know that I reply to your comment four years later, but I think you should tell them that it is not what all persons with ADHD experiences since this is a spectrum and everybody is different from one another. There are other video that you can show to them, unfortunately not every video are well documented, so many people make mistakes or have prejudices when they are talking about it, so take your time when you are searching for animations and other things. And also thank you for educating people about that topic, it's really nice to see that :)
I lived 47 years with undiagnosed ADD (without the "hyper"). This video is my life in a nutshell.
with the one exemption of the parents. To me it was more:
"Just focus, then you can do it"
"I CAN'T FOCUS!"
"EVERYBODY CAN FOCUS! YOU'RE JUST LAZY!" :(
No one understands. I've been saying it all my life, that I can't focus, and people think its just a poor excuse. But if you desperately want to get on, you desperately want to focus, but your brain is physically incapable of doing so then it doesn't matter how hard you try does it? It's like being told to try harder in a car race where everyone has super cars, but you're driving a banger, you can be the best driver in the world against the worst drivers in the world and you'll still be fighting an uphill battle.
Kerstin Ludwig Buddy... i feel you
Damn, I cried when I saw this. I can relate to some of the things the kid was experiencing. It makes me feel more relaxed about who I am.
This actually helps me see myself with a whole new point of view. I can't help but draw all the time, and I thought it was my fault.
The day I saw this, a teacher later asked...
"Do you have to be drawing all the time?" Or something like that.
It made me ashamed of who I am and everything I've ever drawn.
you didn't be ashamed of who you are and don't let it effect you
The robotic wolf
Thanks..
All I can say is keep drawing! Many animators and other artists started out that way.
Checkoofilm
Wow, you replied! Really love this video. And thanks for the advice.
You're welcome! Thanks for the comments!
At the beginning, when he saw the letters on the paper moving around, I've heard that's what dyslexia feels like.
Its also what adhd feels like when trying to read something you dont want to read
I relate to this 100 %. I laughed a few times at first because this describes how I've always been. And then I cried at the end when he was sad he missed the bus.
This captured one element of ADHD that isn't typically covered because of how ADHD is viewed by most of society (which is that ADHD is fake and just kids being kids). I was outcast for my mannerisms as a child because they were fluctuating consistently due to lack of ability to cope with the symptoms. The distraction was always down played by anyone looking in, I still struggle to keep my eyes straight ahead at one target even in the middle of long and detailed conversations. Conversations would jump from subject to subject as fast as one or two sentences (and occasionally still do but I have a better grasp on it now), just... when you boiled it down I was a lot to handle for most kids, so they plainly ignored me. This feeling of absolute isolation from my peers led to other problems down the line including trust issues. The video is nice, well animated, and means well... but it doesn't quite grasp what it is fully like to live with and grow up with.
TL;DR - there is a real downside to living with ADHD and this video doesn't quite get what it's trying to portray.
I relate to this on way too many levels. Thanks so much for making this, I now understand how to describe how I've felt every single day at school. You are an extremely awesome, creative, and generally spectacular animator and I can't wait to see more.
I am a 54 year old man. My partner of 25 years is the same age, highly talented, and has ADD. This film is achingly poignant and breaks my heart every time I see it.
I'm totally had ADHD and with hyperactivity type. This video is an example of my childhood experience. 😔
I think most of the parents doesn't know ADHD and really hate their children who were having ADHD
This animation can teach the Hongkongers that ADHD children are more detail-oriented than us and
the most important is the parents must give them support .
Awesome vid
+b6g78625 They are so detail-oriented, that they miss the train, metaphorically speaking... And this is what parents, teachers and psychologists should do: support them, so that they will be able to face real life. Because they aren't going to have their parents by their side for ever (as it is shown in the video) to save them from a difficult situation...
This video made me tear up. I never was diagnosed with any mental illness but it's pretty clear I have one. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this. Hopefully we can educate the world( and especially poor families) so they know their kid isn't "possessed" by a demon( even though it does seem like it at times) and that they just desperately want to feel normal. And they need their parents help to do that.
It's very accurate, I had to deal with the feeling of knowing that something is wrong with me for my entire childhood/teenage years ,but didn't know what that was.
Man i cried at the end i'm very jealous seeing a good father and child relationship
If only I had the confidence to talk about my problems instead of just letting others tell me it not a big deal
Yeah, when I missed the bus after school, there were no 'cell phones'. I just ended up walking home and then getting in trouble because 'where were you'?
or I forgot my change so I could use a pay phone.
THANK YOU!!!
+Mariana S. de B. exactly like me i to have ADHD and sometimes it realy bleeps
All I got from this is that being creative and self-directed makes you at least somewhat incompatible with today's society, and my depiction is very true. Now leverage that gift to your advantage.
Now add Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) which my first grader seven year old son also has, in with the ADD he has as well, and it can be an overwhelming cocktail. What most of us would consider a normal amount of stimulus, say in a classroom environment or a grocery store, where there are sounds often coming from all directions, for SPD kids those stimuli can be magnified 100X, and overwhelm his ability to cope rationally with them. What SPD kids then tend to do, because they often feel such a loss of control in their environment, is they overcompensate by trying to outdo what’s overwhelming them. For example if we are in a busy environment with lots of sounds and people walking around, my son will attempt to feel some control over the environment by either becoming manic, or often times singing louder than the sounds around him. It’s his way of feeling some control over his environment.
SPD kids tend to be overwhelmed by, and thus hate loud sounds, certain textures of foods, certain textures of clothing, certain types of sounds, etc. etc. etc. What may feel like a soft cotton t-shirt to you and I, might feel like sandpaper to my son. What to you and I might sound like a crowd of people whispering, to him it might sound like Grand Central Station during rush hour. We’ve tried a few times over the years to take him to the theatre to see movies, but we always end up leaving within five minutes of the movie starting. He simply cannot tolerate the overwhelming stimulus of the loud audio. Couple that with his ADHD and it’s often like asking him to stay focused on his school work while a group of people are throwing tennis balls at him. He’s grown out of a lot of the SPD problems, such as the texture of clothing thing, but he still has a big problem with certain textures and temperatures of food. Over half of his diet is made up of room temperature Ensure shakes, simply because he cannot tolerate the textures and temperatures of most foods. He doesn’t tolerate cold and warm drinks. He doesn’t tolerate cold foods, which pretty much rules out us packing his school lunch for him, so he has the nutrition shake instead. Mix all that with the problems of focus associated with his ADHD, and it makes for some pretty challenging parenting and patience skills.
I should add, even though there are the obvious behavior issues associated with the two disabilities, which as you can imagine results in him being reprimanded by his teachers quite a lot in school, he’s a straight “A” student. It takes a lot of extra work at home to maintain his grades, but he’s as intelligent as they come, and just requires a little different approach to having him focus on what he’s expected to do.
One last thing, ADHD, ADD and SPD are all recognized by the government as disabilities, and are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. If your child has been diagnosed with any of these conditions, and he/she is struggling in school, or even if you feel your child could just do better if certain compensations were made for the disability, then contact the school, ask to meet with the counselor or principal, and with the written diagnosis in hand ask that your child be placed on a 504 Plan; which is a fancy way of saying they note in your child’s file that they are on a 504 Plan because of certain learning disabilities. After that, if suggested by you, the teacher, school administrators or your child’s doctor, certain compensations must be made. By law the school is required to make reasonable compensations or concessions for the child’s disability. For example, if your child has one of these disabilities which causes him/her to have problems focusing while taking tests, if under the 504 Plan YOU suggest that your child be put in a quiet environment where there are no distractions while taking the test, then the school is required to do so under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The suggestion does not need to come from anyone other than you. It does not need to come from a doctor because your doctor has already made the diagnosis and it’s up to you, the school’s administrators and teachers to figure out what works best for your child. I just thought I’d throw that information out there in case anyone might benefit from it.
I don't have SPD but I do have auditory processing disorder with severe ADHD. typically APD/SPD and ADHD go hand in hand.
APD is like dyslexia but auditory, if you understand what I mean. it gets really bad when I'm tired but what I hear is a foreign language to me even when i'm a full American. I don't understand most of TV/Movies unless it is put at an unbelievably high volume. if I don't put my full attention towards it then I won't understand what people say a whole lot. I thought that's how normal people heard things until I had a concerning event with a friend making me go to my therapist . my mother has it as well so I'm guessing it came from her...very confusing!!
with ADHD I feel every little sound and thing comes at me at once. that's why I pay attention better when I have music playing on headphones. the music drains out all the little noises, that would usually aggravate me!
***** It's like a sensory overload as I put it. When I'm talking with someone in a quiet setting and they talk clearly, I can hear just fine. Put me at family dinner night then I can't focus or understand anything that is going on. ADHD is a tricky disorder!!
Haha My friends would make fun of me for being awkward but I really don't understand what they're saying!! it's like an alien language to me.
+Ryan Lamp We thought my son had SPD too. Turns out it was autism. Then he was diagnosed with ADHD as well. I can relate to much of what you wrote. (Btw, even with both of those diagnoses, his IEP gets him very little help. I know that's the situation in a lot of places, but it's still pretty awful.)
Hi Ryan, I know you posted your comment a long while ago but I just stumbled upon it and wanted to let you know: I am a young French female entrepreneur and I am in the process of launching my own company, an online media centered around mental health, which I mean to be inclusive and optimistic. Maybe you'd consider telling your and your son's story, giving some tips for families struggling with the same difficulties, raising awareness about the disorder...? If you're interested and you have a Facebook account, please do send me a message at Lucie van der Sande (I don't want to leave my email address here) ;) And in any case, thank you for this comment, it's so very useful!
beautiful.
makes me cry every time
Thank you, Erik, for this touching, validating animation.
It's Saturday. I woke up late today. Too late in fact to take my adhd medication.
I completely missed the point of this video until someone kindly pointed it out in the comments.
I feel like a damn wreck when i oversleep like this.
Oh. and i just realized it's Sunday.
I can relate to the flower crown situation making the child miss the bus. I'm late to everything because the world is just too beautiful to ignore!
Great animation! Very moving story, thanks for making this.
Genius! Thank you very much! Your visual style is absolutely mind blowing.
Lovely animation. The kid was awesome, sensitive and creative.
People don’t understand the other effects of ADHD the worthlessness it makes you feel and depression it can lead to which can and often leads to substance addiction and in some cases suicide. This disease can ruin someone’s life it’s no joke, I know because it destroyed relationships and almost my own life. It’s real and can be treated.
I cried the first time now I watch it when I feel down about myself and my adhd the tone sends a sympathetic message to me but I don't have adhd on a level like that but I've even done origami AFTER tests it is an amazing animation and I loved it so much thanks for making it.
I don't however not try stuff in gym and I don't see randoms gargled words and I can se priorities so I don't miss something
The robotic wolf
The random garbled words are meant to symbolize seeing reading as intimidating long work.
I didn't think about it that way
Bra jobbat, verkligen! Väldigt mysig och trevlig är den att kolla på :)
That's Dimitri, my 10-year-old student. Thank you for sharing this amazing film.
My 6yr old son... Love him to bits.
Posted this below as a response to somebody...but i wanted to share it with everyone. I actually related to this video a lot. I have severe ADD, helped now as I am older with medicine and therapy. In the first scene, the words are a jumble because reading something with ADD is extremely difficult. If you can't focus yourself, sometimes what your reading becomes a whole jumbled mess when you get distracted every other sentence and forgot where you left off, or when there are thoughts in your head that completely distract you from what you're reading. Your eyes are scanning the page but all of a sudden you are several paragraphs ahead with no recollection of what you just scanned over. Children with ADHD are extremely creative, and will sometimes prefer to do creative things that interest them and hold their attention instead of doing what they are supposed to. Such as: building a paper model out of their test, playing with their food inappropriately, building flower crowns instead of catching the bus, and drawing instead of taking notes. Sometimes, then, being distracted will cause you to make mistakes, like missing your bus. Then it seems like everything starts to go wrong, it starts to rain, you try to call for your mom or dad to help you but you drop your phone in a puddle and it shorts out. The frustration and overwhelming-ness can run so high at those points that even adults will find themselves crying. But in the end, if you have people there to support you, the tough times don't seem so bad. You will have the tough times, but everything will work out in the end, and the bad times wont last forever. That is what I got out of this film.
this is kinda what it feels like school is the wort part mabey u cant focaus and u just cant do it u HAVE to move i sometimes move position for hours
It's so painful to realize that a lot of people are suffering, and you're healthy.
Alhamdulillah thanks god
I was diagnosed at 12 with ADHD. At 16 my meds were upped and dangerously prescribed. It almost killed me. From that point forward I have not used medications. I am now 36. For 20 years without medications, i have done amazing things.
It's about retraining your mind, eating healthy, and exercising.
Not for most of us. This is terrible advice.
The thing about the bus is so true. I once missed my flight in Hong Kong because of hyperfocusing and had to pay 800 dollars I didn't have to avoid getting stuck in a foreign country when I had work the next day. Thankfully my dad bailed me out. Thank you dad!
Very,emotional Short Film
As some one with ADHD it's hard to focus on something important anything will catch your eye it's really hard for us so this video is very true
I really enjoyed this video. I can really relate to it.
I honestly think gymnastics is the best thing somone with adhd can do. It involves so much movement and very tangible progress. It's my favourite sport I've ever done
It also has to be an interest for ADHD kids to want to be involved if gymnastics interests one kid with it it may not be the same for another
Many of us (obviously not all) have dyspraxia which makes us very clumsy and bad at sports including gymnastics. Medication has helped myself and my father moderate this problem but it kept me from ever expressing myself through my body until I was diagnosed.
woah, your an amazing animator, can't wait to see more, subbed :)
I've had ADD all my life and wasn't diagnosed until well into my 40s. I don't like that they put ADD and ADHD under the same umbrella - ADHD. I'm like this kid - no hyperactivity just difficulty coping and getting things done. And years of depression.
OMG YES! klart en av mina favorit animation kort filmer :D
+drajk23 Tack så mycket! (Sprid den gärna :-)
sure will^^
I really love this video. The boy is exact the same as me . I think that Maybe I have ads (because my brothers have it too) but I'm not sure. I would really like to see a video like this but from the perspective of a ...."normal" person. For me this video is "normal" so I don't know the difference toward real "normal" people and this
Happened to me in second grade when i missed my drive back after school. I didn't know what to do so i was just sitting on the bench for hours waiting for i don't know what. I think it was raining too but im not sure. Someone helped me and called the police. The policemen gave me a sandwich and took me home. They were so nice to me 😢
This great film is a very good description of the type of ADHD that i have (ADD).
I actually cried near the end. I'm not entirely sure why.
What was frustrating for me, is I’d have these fits of absolute brilliance but never about what was in front of me. Spent my entire time at school being convinced I was stupid just because I couldn’t focus. I was never the hyper kid, I was the one who daydreamed empires while criticized for not designing shoes when asked.
Great. Nice story and animation.
Denna film är fantastisk på så många sätt och jag har god användning av den i mitt arbete som skolpsykolog. Den skapar förståelse och empati, precis det en vill väcka under ex en föreläsning
Vad kul att höra! Dela den gärna!
The bus scene is so accurate!My good thing was that used to hyperfocus at school,but only during math class :p Unfortunately,I no longer hyperfocus that often at uni although math is all I do...but I still miss my bus :/
Lovely film!
this awesom!!! really great!
If only my teachers saw something like this and were educated on adhd…. My life would be so completely different🥺
2:20 reminded me of how I was watching queen ants looking for a good place to lay eggs while i was waiting for a friend :) Just a weirdo on the trainstation
Great video!
I've live with ADHD all my life, and have literally gone ballistic when people say it's not real. But it's something I have also come to live with, and learn as best I can. I will probably have it till the day I die (some can grow out of it). (I actually got a flash back where I would take a Hotwheel to play with during my tests if I needed to fidget)
But that being said it does carry it's positive sides.
OF course I do advise any parent who believes their kids has it to keep them off any medication possible. I am on Concerta and am mentally addicted to it, unable to go off it due to relapse and fear of long term side effects.
Hey, I get how annoying it is when people say it isn't real. That was always hard for me too. But there is a reasonable amount of evidence to say that it isn't real in a way. It isn't to say that some people aren't inattentive or hyper, but that the diagnosis of it is highly suspect and often over diagnosed, especially in North America. Partly due to the influence of big pharma and the need for psychiatrists to help justify their profession (they make a hell of a lot of money).
I prefer to drop the "Disorder" from it and simply say some people struggle with attention deficit and hyperactivity. Which to be honest is perfectly normal in an average cross section of society...a little outside the average, but none the less normal. In many cases, people can learn to deal with it. Whether or not this means they have simply figured out how to deal with a permanent chemical imbalance or actually just learned to behave differently (and subsequently alter their brain chemistry...as your emotions and thoughts can change your brain chemistry), I don't know.
I've tried to manage it for years and come to the realization that I have not fully managed to cope. Either I lack the will or simply am unable to change the natural imbalance. It is also something that affects me in different environments. As a teacher, I am looked as as outgoing, funny and energized about leading my students and rarely do I notice my lack of attention, generally I would say my personality is a great asset in this area...however, when I attempt to correct papers or do research I can sometimes run into a wall. Finishing my master's degree was painful and I pushed through it without aids, assistance or medication...and my grades suffered. I'm not sure I will ever find out if I am truly the kind of person designed for such pursuits or someone who requires medication to be that way.
Perhaps I just need to accept that I am a highly skilled paramedic, ski patrol, snowboard coach and teacher and not worry about "higher" achievements where I have to date demonstrated that I am below average without medication.
Anyway, my point being that it is better not to see it as a disorder, but something you wish to manage or improve on. There is enough evidence out there to say that ADHD is far more a creation of the medical community than a reality, despite the fact that it is true that many people have a wide range of abilities that do not fit within the narrow parameters of either society or the medical community.
Well i have adhd, i'm 14 and i get distracted so easily in class. i don't even know if my medication works. got any tips you maybe did when growing up?
Gabriel Ekström Sports! Burn off your energy before you study. take art or creative writing to give your mind a creative outlet. make lists, plans, charts to keep track of goals, deadlines and your mission in life... and have a mission...have a few missions and don't beat yourself up when you laps. just keep pushing. when you find those things you love and that you are good at things will be much easier. try to get off meds so you can learn who you are and learn how to manage who you are. meds can stop your mental growth and create a feeling of dependence . volunteer with something you believe in. get a job that is cool...and remember school is a short period in your life and at some point you will look back with fond memories while the difficulties you feel now will nothing but faded memories.
earthbound7711 thing is i am a really nerdy gamer, so moslty i sit inside playing games, but i'm om good shape. I just can't do homework either, thanks for the tips. the games keep me in good distraction tho
I was a nerdy fantasy nut. Couldn't sit through class, but could read 1000 page novel about dragons. Sports became an obsession when I found out what a release it was. I also noticed I could study better if I studied for an hour then rode my bike. Gaming, while a great mental exercise, does not help you releases stress...and stress actually can build up and be a direct link to poor health and inattentiveness. I know plenty of nerdy skydivers, rock climbers, cyclists and runners.
this is so sweet i love it.
Hej! Älskar denna video, kan du göra en om Asperger syndrom? (:
Wow this is amazing
My school experience was before cell phones. But it didn't matter as my parents wouldn't have picked me up anyway. The were not supportive and always critical of me.
absolute right!
i wish i had someone like this
Whether the person has ADHD or not, Jesus still loves the person
This is true the whole video is real truth how we feel I have ADHD it's not well cants say it's not good but it's not great
Hit like who missed to focus on video completely ! #ADHD😣😣😭
Tack❤️
God I know how this feels..
I had no friends in elementary school due to ADHD and I was constant bullied and framed for doing things I didn’t do.
wow man, this video fucked me up haha. By the end I was in tears and anxious.
Adhd gang where you at boyzzz😉
This is me. What else needs to be said?
I'm not sure what I was meant to learn from this. That was just school. Isn't it the same for everyone? OK so playing with your food before you are seated is a bit odd, and I would have gone into the bus and missed my stop instead, but in general usual school day. And now I am sad because I had to think of that fecking place.
I actually related to it a lot. I have severe ADD, helped now as I am older with medicine and therapy.

The frustration and overwhelming-ness can run so high at those points that even adults will find themselves crying. But in the end, if you have people there to support you, the tough times don't seem so bad. You will have the tough times, but everything will work out in the end, and the bad times wont last forever. That is what I got out of this film.
Köszönöm.
So is Hyperactivity something like being creative and thinking differently? Because this video explains how I behave and I'm totally not too active.
as a person with adhd, I find this relatable,
I cried watching this, i feel so understood
I didn’t know I had this until I knew what it means know
Damn this is sad

This is ADHD in a nutshell
thats the girl from spegelbarn
You're right. When I spent such a long time drawing the characters, I start to miss them when I'm working on something else. It's nice to let them do small cameos in other films (there are more).
Wnderful :)
o.k Se que mi hijo tiene TDAH y lo más difícil es que la gente no sabe nada y entonces surge la incomprensión. todos piensan que lo haces intencionalmente y ta etiquetan. Se sufre y se llora junto con tu hijo.
excuse me , I really want to know that how to see the boy have ADHD ? he doesn't hyperativity or attention-deficit . he more like ASD or IDD(intellectual Developmental disorder.
+皓皓丁 The film makes no claim to depict a certain disorder. That is for the viewer to decide. If you feel another condition is more fitting, that can be true as well. I think you can have a hyperactive mind without showing it though.
Media have picked it up as an ADHD story, because many feel it fits the behaviour of ADHD predominantly inattentive. And others simply recognise how they themselves felt in school, and they might now have that diagnosis.
The boy gets distracted very easily, is clumsy, forgets time, gets hyperfocused on other things (picking flowers, drawing animations) that are of his interest, but not necessarily what he needs to do. ADD represents without hyperactivity.
I feel like the way the kid (who I would guess is about 8 or 9) does and I'm a 19-year-old with depression. I see it as a mix of anyone who doesn't exactly have a mind like other people. I drew in class and I couldn't focus sometimes. I *still* feel this way! I don't think it depicts exactly ADHD/ADD but rather the budding stages of mental disorders that impair your focus.
ASD has a high comorbidity with ADHD (I have both) but this video much more clearly shows ADHD symptoms. We see the protagonist have executive functioning problems, not, for example autistic meltdowns due to sensory overload.
Although it's an old comment, but about a very common ignorance in connection with a very serious problem, so it worth an answer.
Sadly through the years, the world was made believe, that ADHD is young boys not being able to sit for long, and this is what caused so much suffer to us, the majority with ADHD, who are not like this.
Yes, it can mean physical hyperactivity, but more commonly it's mental hyperactivity. It's also a constant, hopeless battle with yourself to pay attention and do that one thing you started. And this video is exactly about this desperation to me and many other people with ADHD.
The real message is at 3:40... :'(
i dont see adhd here, i think that was depression
They go together but depression is clearly not the cause of being excessively creative in inappropriate situations.

The video can be depression too though, since living like this can easily cause depression.

Ezek a képességek általában vannak jelen mind amellett , hogy nem az adott feladat
megoldására koncentrálnak vagy minden ADHD-s gyermekre igazak ?
Mert a film azt is bemutatja , hogy kézügyessége kreativitása jelen van amely valamilyen
logikai gondolkodásra utal a saját gondolataiból kialakított cselekvéseiből következtetve. Cselekvései összerendezettek.
Persze más területen a szétszórtság a figyelemzavar az valamilyen
agyban lezajló zavarra utal amelyet az orvosok majd gyógyszerrel próbálnak javítani , mint autista gyerekeknél akiknél gyógyszer csak kísérlet.
So I have ADHD? D:
