Thanks for the video Dr Kruse, on a unrelated note I wish I could find someone online that is as knowledgable as you when it comes to autism. It would be awesome if there was someone who understands at a high level the intracacies of ASD / ADHD and how ASD influences ADHD and vice versa. I really like the depth of knowledge you share. If anybody knows a content creator who communicates the way Dr Kruse does with the amount of neuroscientific detail and nuance about ADHD and ASD, let me know! Im trying to figure out how to work through the frustration that comes with ASD and ADHD
Dr. John Kruse uploaded a video recently about Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD, also on that video there's a link to an article he wrote about Autism and ADHD: ruclips.net/video/CtHFhrd14dQ/видео.html Dr. Russell Barkley has also made videos about ADHD and ASD: ruclips.net/video/KSaByLiSCTM/видео.html Also Thomas E. Brown has some interesting talks about ADHD and autism: ruclips.net/video/oZXbHVjykEU/видео.html
I really liked this summary. I was diagnosed 1,5 years ago at age 38. My oldest daughter is 8 and shows clear signs of ADHD in certain areas in her life. She excels in school, but she has a very hard time managing her emotions, following orders, gets carried away etc. She gets frustrated and already shows signs of internal rumination and guilt due to her knowing what to do, but not being able to follow though. My wife and I don’t want to get her diagnosed yet. We are worried that it will affect how she sees herself and it could even create limiting beliefs in her. Secondly medication is a scary topic (tolerance, long term effects, side effects in children), even though I have witnessed the benefits first hand. She doesn’t need medication in school to cope and I don’t know if anyone gives their children meds only after school. While it might help in some areas this could severely affect sleep etc. Our approach is to wait and see how she progresses and if she needs more help in the future, when demands increase. I would love to hear any thoughts on this approach.
I think its better to try medication ( Methylphenidate) , there is some research pointing to brain normalization for children with ADHD who took Methylphenidate. Furthermore untreated ADHD can lead to Anxiety, Depression, Trauma etc...
I can't make specific recommendations here, but your approach seems quite logical and appropriate from what I have heard. However, it is worth pointing out, as one of the other commenters has, that not-medicating may have its own risks, some of which is summarized in this video: ruclips.net/video/9zl7wnnxPDw/видео.html
@@nokrome If she excels in school at age 8, she’s probably more likely than not to hit a wall at age 12 or so if untreated. Unless she’s in a really good full-time gifted programme where she’s learning how to actually study. If she has neither this nor ADHD treatment school can become torturous from the moment tasks can no longer be completed (last-minute) with zero effort. Maybe this is what you’re thinking of with respect to increasing demands, but I’d recommend being ahead of this with treatment rather than waiting till it’s already become a problem and she’s become a teenager. Also, what’s her own preference?
I appreciate that this video is based on current knowledge. But I think nanorobots will change the game. At least making meds role by stimulating frontal neurons without a neurotransmitter avoiding addiction disadvantage. We hope also AI revolution make progress at that.
Thank you Dr Kruse. Hank Green is a textbook example of someone with a very ADHD brain and no diagnosis because he grew up in a supportive environment with resources that allowed him to use his abilities in very creative ways to do good in the world. Can you recommend any resources about ADHD in non-industrialised societies? I know that evolutionary psychology can be a slippery slope, yet from my anthropological perspective it seems obvious how a mix of traits characteristic of ADHD and some forms of Autism would increase the survival chances of a group overall. For example, I wonder how genetic predispositions develop differently (or not) in different societies. Like, how does ADHD work in non-sedentary cultures? Do people with a level of these traits that cause problems in (neoliberal) industrialised environments experience comparable issues in nomadic groups? Or do they develop differently in that kind of environment? This type of thing. I’m not aware of any studies that look at this in detail, only some popular writing by non-specialists.
I will try to look into it, but much of what I am aware of is, as you say, more speculative, and based on exploratory anthropology than on rigorously trying to measure ADHD symptoms in different settings.
Absurd meaning extremely severe, or absurd in not really present but the individual wants to have the diagnosis? My first patient with ADHD had one of the most severe cases I have seen. Even though he knew that Concerta worked for him, and helped him to function, he struggled to remember to take it. We set up numerous CBT based strategies to help. But a 30 day prescription lasted him about 13 months. Which meant that he was taking it only about once every two weeks. And we were meeting weekly! Each session he would report that he was trying to take it, but knew that he had forgotten "a few times" 0 but that meant that on half of our visits he hadn't taken it at all between visits!

@ Thank you Dr Kruse!
thank you
Thank you for the informative video.
I have a question, and it's pretty silly. What's the most absurd case of ADHD you have seen in your practice?
