@@elysianquinn3223, oof. Procrastinators unite. I wrote 70% of my history 5 paragraph essay at 5:30 AM of the day it was due and the other 30% was done at 1:00AM of that same day lol.
@@hugenerd97 yea I’m probably going to do it during the lesson it is due. I forgot and didn’t want to do it again. Whoops. I said this week would be different. Guess not.
same and i keep telling her that she should get him checked out since he’s at a very young age and i think it’s important but she’s basically in denial and says he doesn’t have it :/ i just want to help him now since he’s so young and i don’t want him to suffer so much when he’s older :(
@@kayzzzzzzzzz I met a young woman in the park today and complemented her on the health of her baby. I asked if she had the baby vaccinated and she said 'no'. I asked why and she said that her first child had ADHD and she had researched for the causes. The channel titled, 'The Truth About Vaccines' is very informative.
I am in the same boat with one of my daycare kids. He is 5. He has all of the characteristics. Mom chalks it up to him “being weird like his dad.” Ya...that’s not it. Like what is the worst that could happen if you get him checked out? He doesn’t have it? Awesome! Or he does, and then he can get the help he needs. Also awesome!
Me focussing on 20 differant thigs at 1ce and hyper focussing on all cant take shit cant even stand still for point 0001 sec allways getting detention for assault and known as the school daredevel yeah i think i have stage 2 adhd
My add getting worse this past month and me now getting in trouble every single time I’m in class because I swing on my chair 😂 oh and you see my try and tell a story 🥴
Back in kindergarten, I was kicking over things and our teacher had to move the other kids out of the room because they thought I was going to hurt someone. I have been experiencing symptoms of adhd since I was young and it is really uncomfortable being hyper, especially being overweight. I also got detention twice this school year because I procrastinated A LOT and back when I was younger, my mom gave me spankings because of how I misbehaved at school, and I would hide from my mom so she wouldn’t be able to find me and I felt like I couldn’t control when I did these things I just felt frustrated and energized enough to do it.
I showed this video to my mother because I could not tell her all of this. I have always known I suffer from ADHD but she never understood what it was and I could not explain it. This video helped a great lot! Thank you so much!💞❣
That is not even so bad i am watching while playing horror games while supposed to do school work while i only slept for like 4 hours and feel hyperactive 😂😂
I was diagnossed with ADHD as a child. My parents just carried on as if I was a naughty child. Every adult who surrounded me as a child thought I was I naughty child and treated me with disdain. All of them believed all I needed was a firm hand and stronger punishments. As an adult I've cut most of my aunts and uncles out of my life completely.
I always got punished for my sudden feelings of anger and amount of energy when I do it. I am not diagnosed, but I have most of the symptoms of adhd. (I am not self diagnosed)
That is so heartbreaking. I am curious, what could your parents have done that would have helped you? My daughter is type 3 and I feel so defeated as a parent because I dont know how to help her. My daughter is in 3rd grade and she still struggles to add/subtract, write sentences as well as has a speech delay. She also has difficulty making friends because she comes off as "weird" to other kids. I just want to protect her but I know she needs to be able to interact socially. I know children with ADHD are not naughty - they are sweet children with a lot of life and have amazing imaginations and creativity! My daughter is one of the sweetest and most caring little girl and I dont want her to grow up feeling like no one likes her..that is so terrible and Im so sorry that you were treated like a naughty child.
@@mzchelle7769 also people with adhd dont come off as weird to other people, usually thats with autism and ocd. so either the people at her school are weird themselves, or its some other problem unrelated
I teach pre-k. It's unbelievable how many parents think their child has add/adhd. Most of the time the child is going through a phase where they are seeking independence or maybe being strong willed. Lots of times the parents don't seem to understand that their child isn't going to just naturally behave or not need to be reprimanded more than once for something. It's a work in progress.
This made me feel better. I hope it’s just a phase but i see that my son is the only one in his little class that never ever sits down and he constantly moves and talks, & the teachers are always complaining and they suspect that he might have adhd 😢
I think I have ADHD but I'm too scared to tell my parents to get me tested at school (they can diagnose you) to see and I've always been hyperactive and day-dreamy and I have problems regulating my emotions
It is absolutely real! I've suffered from most of these symptoms since about seven years old. My dad won't admit it but he has it as well. Now my son faces the similar fate. I understand the fear and loathing. Diet and exercise helps me immensely. First having coffee in high helped alot. The men in my family are additionally polyglots. A good nutritionalist helped my step daughter with bi polar disorder. Hang in there comrades! We're low in focus High in I Q !

My mom took me to a “doctor” and told her to tell me that I had nothing I asked my mother if we could go to another doctor but she keeps denying and told me that adhd is made up
I find it hard to concentrate in class and sometimes I can’t sit still. I also get easily distracted and I’ve taken online tests and they say I have adhd. I’m not that forgetful but I don’t know if I have it. Pls can someone help

Lots of valuable information in here for families looking to understand how to get help for their child and what testing looks like for ADHD. Thank you for pulling together this information. Since you asked, I'd love if you could post videos about 1) strategies parents could use to help their ADHD child at home and keep their sanity 2) how teachers can support students with ADHD. I work in a lot of schools where students, teachers, and families are struggling with the impact that ADHD has on their lives. Thanks again!
Thank you Stacy! Will do. Our next video is about possible treatments for ADHD, but we have tons of videos coming out about helping your child both at school and at home. We even have an entire course coming out that's taught by all kinds of ADHD specialists and specifically addresses how to handle the transition to middle school and understand your child's needs, without losing your mind.

My symptoms: Disorganized- I can’t keep track of ANYTHING a month will pass and my school folder/binder has so much stuff that it’s almost breaking, there’s wrappers and trash in my backpack. I always feel like something is dirty/messy but I can’t clean it cause I get sidetracked Short attention span- my mom gets frustrated with me cause I can’t hear what she’s saying cause I’m paying attention to something else, I don’t know how I get good grades, I can’t pay attention to save my life, my mind is always on things that I’m interested in. And never on the things that I’m doing Fidgeting- I am moving 24/7 unless I’m REALLY interested in what I’m doing, it’s all finger tapping, foot tapping, hand flapping, anything but staying still, I have repetitive things that I do over and over and over again Special interests- I’ve heard somewhere that people with ADD, ADHD, and on the Autistic spectrum have special interests, for me it’s my favorite show, art, rodents, and acting/music, anything other then those things is just uninteresting to me. Emotional outbursts- my emotions change rapidly, I’m happy for a minute and then the next I’m worried, or I get distracted, I’m fine for a day and then suddenly I feel really sad. I have all of these on a daily basis
Orange Runes i have the same symptoms and i also dont understand how i do good in school. i think its just bc i turn in my work at the last minute and just make the deadline haha
Im a step parent,i live with a 7 year old boy, His father gets mad at the mention of adhd,thinking its bad. This is just how a 7 year old acts He really struggles,he pulls at his shirts,fidgets the entire body at the slight of any uncomfort or confrontation,he starts to hyperventilate too When spoken to,he will ignore everything you say,and say"yes, but.." And start talking about what he wants,unrelated to what we tell him He interrupts all conversations,and talks excessively,which is why no one reallys likes playing or hanging around him But when it comes to expressing emotion,he struggles hard and ends up spazzing out,fidgeting hard He really really reallly REALLY strughles with listening ,and really really struggles to stat still Which isnt a problem but its just seems so extreme,i havent seen this kind of behaviour Can anyone help me out with this?

Take him to the doctor instead of trying to diagnose him yourself. Especially as the step parent, you sound like you are projecting a lot of negative things and opinions of this boy.
My son has shown signs of ADHD since his toddler years. I tried and tried to talk about it with my wife who refused to acknowledge it as a real problem. Now the issues are more pronounced due to Asian schooling methods and academic pressure, she's finally willing to accept that our son's mind doesn't work like his peers. It's been exhausting trying to battle between the 2 extremes in personality.
@@ThaoTran-dj8rs Shortly after that post a few years back, I managed to persuade the family to get him into an international school. While expensive it's been AMAZING. The whole family situation is better and more understanding. He's been given the support he needs at school with teachers who actually care and offer extra classes catered for ADHD and dyslexia. Plus the regular classes are smaller, so the teacher has more time to focus on each student. My son now loves going to school. I'd recommend it if there's something like that available near you.
My mother doesn't believe in ADHD in girls and earlier today when I expressed my concerns for ADHD to my therapist today she basically told me to just do my work, my mother agreed.
I’m watching this 2 years later and I’m 13. I’m pretty sure I have ADHD as well as I KNOW I have severe anxiety I am constantly anxious and anger management issues… I tend to get frustrated with things quite easily and I was watching this to see if I can relate or compare to any of these symptoms and I’m pretty sure ATLEAST 99.9% sure that I’m affected with ADHD. I’m constantly fidgeting and getting distracted and I’m always fiding a way to move my body not being able to just sit. Thank you for testing me🖤
Thx for everything my daughter was diagnosed with adhd when she was 3 years old she has alot of the symptoms she fidgets alot during class,and also blurts out answers,talking excessively.
i’m literally sobbing. i keep getting diagnosed with anxiety because i always forget to tell them about my adhd symptoms because i have such bad memory. my mother completely ignores all my symptoms and brushes it off as either hormones (even though i’m quite past that point) or just anxiety. but the thing is she genuinely believes adhd i just being loud and rowdy.
I blurt things out and the kids glare at me except for my friend, I felt a bit better knowing she knew I didn’t mean to and didn’t get mad at me for it.
I'm not sure if I have ADHD but here is what I do - i get angry - i feel depressed sometimes -i fidget - i struggle to make friends -i daydream -im messy - i get stressed easily - i seem dramatic over small things - I'm shy
There was a test to see if the viewer could tell who had ADHD and which kid didn’t and I knew that the girl had it cause she was a little shy and said she had moods and when she said she didn’t have a lot of friends and that people don’t invite her to things. it reminded me so much of my own life and it’s so hard to control yourself 😭 you just end up pushing people away bc of it awkwardness and how much you talk. It makes me so sad that she had it and has to deal with it. I get picked on a lot because of my impulsive and over active Conscious. I wish I was normal so much 😭😭
I'm 13 about to be 14 next month and I think I have ADHD. This 'noticing things before 12' gets me tripped up because although I can pinpoint specific examples of how ADHD has affected me before 12, I never really noticed any symptoms? I've been diagonsed with anxiety since I was 11. I don't know, it feels like I'm lying to myself though I know I'm not...I've never struggled academically in anything that wasn't math. Even now, I'm in an honors class and have been since I was in 4th grade where I have about 95s in every subject. It feels like I'm lying because I always thought I was 'just weird.' My family has always pushed horrible labels on me and stated that I'm not normal like other kids (which I am most definetely not). This includes socially, emotionally, and regular development because I was always slower on learning things such as tying my shoes and not wetting the bed...Those types of skills which you learn early on I only really mastered at 10 years of age. I am extremely sensitive to the point everyone at my elementary school considered me a 'cry baby' and I always dealt with anger horribly. Well, I have social anxiety so I feel like that already answers that. I know I'm different but it feels so weird that there might be a term for /how/ I'm different because there's people like me. My step brother has ADHD and I never knew until he told me last year, and we are so similar, so there's that... I guess what I'm trying to say is that I really want to get diagonised and I've researched it but I don't know how. And it sort of feels like I'm lying to myself. I don't understand. This is complicated. What should I do?
@@originalxsammy8097 Hello! I hope you're able to find the help you need! ^^ I recently re-scheduled with my therapist and I found out that he actually does ADHD evaluations! I'm really unsure because I feel as if I'm still not being truthful, and If I pinpoint this label on myself and It turns not to be true It'll be like a confirmation that I really am all the bad things people say I am. I know ADHD isn't an excuse for anything, but I think it's better to know you're different for a reason rather than just because you are. Anyway, I think I'm going to take a chance and ask for the evaluation. I hope you're able to do so as well. I appreciate your comment and the sentiment. Have a nice day!
Going to get a diagnosis will help you find out if you have ADHD, and if not, the therapist running the diagnosis will most likely have an inkling as to who to talk to next. There is ASD which is a vast spectrum, social pragmatic disorder, and so many other disorders that once you learn about them and how they impact you, you will find the tools and skills and possibly medication you need to help you. Always be your own advocate and reach out to school staff. If your school does not have a therapist you can connect with, ask the front desk for websites and emails of psychologist staff who work for the district. They will be more than willing to help you get into contact with whomever you need.
I’m an adult with adhd people don’t believe me and I even doubted myself but then I took the medication and my life changed so much for the better so I believe fully!
Hey! I noticed it seemed you wanted to know what happened and why I came here to look. Well, I'm actually nearly 11 and am bullied for my so-called "ADHD / ADD". I'll tell my story if you're curious! My "Friends" and I were in ELA (we're in Spanish immersion), and I wasn't paying attention, mind you, I was much more interested in the paper origami piano I created during History. I was practicing my chords for the song I was supposed to perform the next day. The teacher noticed I was interested in something other than her lesson. Her immediate thought was "Oh, this student is on her phone." May I remind you, I don't currently own a phone, just a laptop. She said something along the lines of "______, give me your phone. Class is in session." I responded with "Ma'am, I don't own a phone. I just have trouble focusing on things." After class, my "friends" humiliated me over my embarrassing encounter the class before. I believe one named Keira said something like "Dude, ADHD sucks!!!! I Have it, and it's not fun." (She didn't have it, she's just a lying b*tch.) I was curious about what ADHD actually meant. As far as I know, I just know I have Anxiety, Depression, and Insomnia. Here I am, and I'm fairly certain I have ADHD / ADD after watching this. Thanks, and hope you found this helpful!
My 2 sons had ADHD, one with specific learning disabilities. He was the most hyper child I have ever seen. He started very young, he started walking at 7 months, and he never stopped running. He graduated high school, and also college. That is impressive as he had disgraphia. He can not spell even simple words. He tested in the top 3 percent on I Q test. He won an award for set design while in college and was in the top three in the country. His son is also ADHD but it's well controlled with medication. He makes very good grades in school.
Thanks for this, a lot of this resonates and I definitely need to get my son tested. Appreciate the advice of how to go about looking for an assessment, its not rocket science but makes more sense hearing it from the experts. Thank you

Beautifully explained. Thank you. 🌸 I have two children that have ADHD. My daughter has the inattentive type, and my son has the hyperactivity/impulsive type. I, too, have ADHD (inattentive type). For us, it is manageable. There are just certain things that we need to do to manage it. It has certainly been a learning process, and I am confident to say that we now have a good system down. Also, Quillichew (for the kids) and Concerta (for me) have worked beautifully. Thanks again for sharing your video and spreading awareness. Yes, ADHD is very real, and if you think that you or someone you know has ADHD, ..make an appointment to see a DOCTOR. You got this! 💪🏼 Have an awesome day everyone. :)

Myself and husband both have adhd as well (inattentive type) I have 5 kids. 2 of which have adhd as well. My 8yo is inattentive and my 5yo is hyperactive. Just had our meeting at their school for a 504 plan. This is so true, with the right tools, it can be manageable. For myself and husband, we are medicated after 15+ years of trying and failing at fitting into the societal norms but both of my boys are in occupational therapy to help them learn tools for making adhd manageable
I used to always get frustrated because i could never focus or i couldn't stop moving and i was always bored no matter what i was doing my parents won't acknowledge that i clearly have adhd and i don't know what to do
When i was young i was taken out of class a couple times to go to a sketchy office building, stay in a room with some random guy. and play easy games like : tap X ONLY when you see the X on the screen. i felt like it was too boring and still messed up, little did i know people were watching me and that test would change my life forever..
i pretty sure i have ADHD or ADD. i’m not sure though because my father was the same as a kid, and was tested for ADHD, and didn’t have it. i find it very hard to focus in school and find myself daydreaming and fidgeting with things all the time. i also find it super hard to get into anything (reading a book or watching a video that i’m not interested in. i’ll read it and hear it in my head but i just forget about it as soon as i think about it again.). i’m bored very easily too. i sometimes get hyper for no reason. i have other things too that i can’t really describe, i guess lol.
Hi.im A Mom of a teen who was hyper and impulsive as a child and now at 13 is better but still looses focus and needs lots of reminders. From what you described you reminded me of my child so take heart it's not necessarily a bad thing people with ADHD and also people on the autism spectrum a lot of times end up being extremely creative imaginative Innovative thinkers there are RUclips videos like this to watch that will encourage you there's also tips on how to cope with ADHD online one tip is to make a list my daughter functions much better with lists and reminders that she can see. Also regulary exersize helps release excess energy and you make concentrate better after exercising because now you are calm and can focus this works well for my child also said she has been doing homeschooling since you was in second grade and really loves it. But daydreaming is not necessarily A Bad Thing there are some people who are straight A students and very studious but cannot have one original idea and their head we are all different so focus on your qualities and not on comparing yourself to anyone else okay?. Keep smiling.you are enough.you are awesome.Be creative.Be kind. Put effort.Thats enough to be happy. We all can improve on something but don't let you obsess over it self-acceptance is very important.🙂❤- from a well meaning Mom.
I make noises in class and the kids say can you stop and sometimes they say it really harshly, and I feel really happy and I keep making the noise. I also have these funny voices I do when I get bored, and I get hyped up when I do them, and then the kids kept laughing at me, and they always said: “Hey Simone, can you make that noise again?” I stopped doing it for them because I started to notice them snickering when I did it, and it hurts so much. I think my friend notices it too, cause she has this look on her face that is just saying “Does she know?” Or something like that.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression , anxiety and illicit pill addiction . Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone . Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues . ⠀
Please does anyone know where I can get them ? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels , I would love to try shrooms
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
I was having this constant , unbearable anxiety because of stress. Not until I also came across Dr.Mile a very intelligent mycologist. He came through for me with his knowledge on psychs.
I have a friend that swears that she has this and doesn't even act like it because she can concentrate and finish a task,and now just because her daughter is having some trouble in math she swears that her daughter has it.. I've tried to tell her that some kids just don't get math and sometimes it just the teacher and the way they teach it. .
Our son has ADHD, we cant take him out to eat and grocery shopping is a nightmare lol. We have to hold his hand around streets anywhere near a street, pretty much everywhere. We look for parks with fencing or a hiking parks with trails. He likes to say hi to every person he sees which is so cute and most of the time people respond with a smile and a hello. Sometimes not lol. He does enjoy rough housing (hitting, jumping/rolling on people, ramming his head into them, etc 🤦🏻♀️😂)and once he's in flo its difficult getting him to settle down. I'm a fairly new mom and in all my years of taking care of kids I've never seen a child with as much energy as ours. Thank you for this video I'm still fairly new to all this and I appreciate any info I can find!
@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 Oh yes, also its all about the technique. I have a whole system down for everywhere and everything. Not that things always run smoothly lord knows lol but I finally figured out how to get around some things. No meds at this point and I'm hoping to avoid them. Not that I'm against it bc I know its necessary and beneficial to them, but I know with medication its tricky business and its all about finding what works for that individual. So for now I'm just going to do and try everything I can. Like now when we go to the grocery store first thing I do is tell him what is going on and what I expect from him. I constantly engage with him in the store, pointing at things and asking him questions about them. I'll let him help put things in, let him pick out a special food so he's less likely to just pick up random things. I always praise him for all his help, he loves that stuff. But yea lol he's just an all around great kid. Its sucks we live in a world that forces people to believe they have to conform to a "normal" that dosen't even exist.
I have become friends with parents that I then had to stop going around because they would always comment thinking my child is undisciplined and putting so much pressure on me. I have ADHD and it’s very likely my son does. There are other ways that are more effective to dealing with a non typical neuro type that people without this wouldn’t understand. I’m not sad about losing the friends but I did try to force it for a long time, instead of accepting my own parenting, myself, and child. Other people will have opinions and can be negative, even if I welcomed them to share those, it did not mean they were right. And if people don’t think they are listened to they kind of lose respect, which went both ways.
Thank you for such informative video I'm a mum of A 7 yrs old boy and recently had meeting with his teacher and we feel he has ADHD and I will help him wherever I can.
“regulating their attention is difficult” (ive been diagnosed btw) *me deciding to start the video, forget it was playing and look for my headphones* *then me playing with my haiespray*
My son has almost all the symptoms. Am tires of the school calling and atimes making it seem I am at fault because my kid does not has focus at school. ( Same at home) now I can seek help. Thankfully I live in Germany. I don't have to worry about price or insurance coverage. Thanks allot for the video.my kid is going to fine.
I'm babysitting this 6 yr old boy in 1st grade. He can't sit still and I have to sit next to him all day to keep reminding him to focus since he will be drawing or doing random things and not listen to the teacher at all. I think he may have adhd. His dad mentioned him having run out of his medicine recently, but he didn't mention for what.
I have took multiple adhd test all coming back positive and have all of these symptoms I also suffer from anxiety, though I never tell anyone and jts just been making my anxiety worse. What should I do. Xx
@@frankythebean4596 lol I was remembering where I would put vulgar things like murder for my storylines in 2nd grade, and I fell asleep, and cheated on spelling tests. ALL IN SECOND GRADE.
I’m almost sure I have adhd I have all most all of the symptoms but whenever I ask my mum if we can get a test she just says maybe and completely forgets about it.
i turned 12 in march and i have symtoms since i was like 10-11 but i wasnt thinking much of it since 2 weeks i really think i have adhd i took google test (also on youtube) and all came back negative i really want to get diagnosed because i have many symtoms but i dont know how to ask my mom
Here are my symptoms: Short attention span, I hit myself when I'm angry, don't sit still, am always tapping or fidgeting, I don't disrupt a room, I get very angry very easy, I am scared people will disappear/leave me if they are behind me, and I get distracted easily, matter of fact I paused so I could write this comment, I also talk a lot, and often don't finish tasks, or over do them or do the bare minimum, I'm also active and hyper. I am 11 and this started at 10 probably but I've been fidgety for longer. Is it worth getting checked out?
Back earlier in the year, if you look at my work from the beginning of my classes, you can see full on artworks on the top of my paper lol. My teachers always call my name and tap on me and tell me to pay attention and not draw on my papers.
I think I might have adhd/add because whenever I watch a video I always just forever scroll through the comments and then watch a few minutes and switch for a different video, I barely ever watch to the end and I can never keep still for longer than 10 seconds. I’m too scared to ask my parents to take me to the doctors because I’m scared I’m wrong and it was all just in my head..

My son has all the signs, but the funny part is he fares decently in school compared to how less he really studies for them. He is ok with his social life. Not grt but not too bad. He interacts with extended family very well. However, inside the house, his room is a mess, he is shouting all the time fidgeting all the time, pulling on things, knocking on our heads, screaming into our ears, constantly seeks gadgets or junk food, eats messily even now at 14. His outside personality and inside personalities are poles apart
The thing is I’m like 99% sure I have adhd but I dunno how to ask my parents to get me to a specialist so now I’m confused and I feel like I’m just a weird kid
I’m pretty sure I have ADHD but all the ADD signs match me except not overly active I get random bursts of energy I like cannot sit still at all I talk a lot and I tend to blurt things out in the middle of class
My son has the signs and symptoms of type 3, but he is 5 years old, his doctor said that his is can’t be ADHD because of is age, his diagnosis is Genral developmentat delay, I confused 🤷♂️
My adhd is the most common I drink coffee to calm my self down whenever I'm to hyper im only 8 to and I dont know if 8 year olds are supposed to have adhd I dont know if other kids have adhd But If i remember correctly I did think it was just me being super hyper active but one of my cousins said I have adhd and i wasn't really concerned about it and just let it slide after staying indoors for months I was kinda tired of being.... Inside like we're all stuck at home like seriously like PEOPLE STOP SWALLOWING BATS Like ya know what I'm saying. ANYways I gotta go
I have constant motion because my teacher always catches my standing in my chair or standing up dancing behind my chair. I am easily sidetracked because I just randomly go through my book bag at school and when my mom tells me to go get something and I get sidetracked and I have to go back to her to see what she needs again. I am talking excessively because my teacher is always telling me to be quite in class. I always squirming and fidgeting because I have bad anxiety and so I like to bring a squishy to school and squish it. I am frequently forgetful because my mom tells me to do something and I forget what she says. I am interrupting because when my mom is talking to my dad I just budge into their room and answer their questions.
Hi, I don't know if anyone is actually able to help out with this, or even understands it at all, but just try to hear me out. When I was in 7th grade, I actually got depressed pretty badly, and I'm not going to lie, I still am very slightly, though I'm getting better. But I've had panic attacks multiple times within the last 2-3 ish years. Since I was 11, I cannot stop moving, and it's hard for me to focus on multiple things. If I'm ever working on school work or something, I lose my focus from it. And knowing that I should be working on something, it's like my mind literally has a mind of it's own, making me do things that I know I shouldn't, and sometimes I can't stop even if I try the hardest I ever can. I will start saying something, but I forget about everything within seconds, but it happens multiple times every single day. Most of my sentences just turn to "Uhmm.." Or just "I forgot again". Not to mention, I will get told to do something, and no joke, I forget about it just seconds later completely. Does anyone know if this might be ADHD, or may it be something else? Or is it just me?
I’m sorry, but I don’t have the answer to your question😢 although you aren’t alone. My dad told me something to get for him, but seconds later my mind went blank and I couldn’t remember what he asked me. Thankfully I can remember this story, but really, you’re not alone 🙂 I haven’t officially gotten checked for any mental illnesses yet, but I got 7/9 symptoms of ADHD so I really don’t know🤷🏽♀️
I got diagnosed when I was like three or four and im not sure but all the test I have watched has been with a 100% score or 90% score. And I have never got medication or anything like that.
My mom thinks I'm just using adhd as an excuse to not be as focus and do bad in school which is not true I just want to get tested and make sure bc I had to drop out of a smart school bc they wouldnt let me move around and got upset my I clicked my pens and fidgeted
My 5yo is type 3 adhd. He runs into roads with no regards to cars or anything around him, he just got in his first fight because a kid hit him in the back and that was the straw (he’s usually amazing in school) he can’t stay still, struggles with group activity, struggled with holding a pencil because he just wanted to build with blocks instead and never had an interest sitting to draw/ color But he’s so incredibly smart to the point where he’s getting an iq test this month to see if he qualifies for gifted classes. He’s just sooooo impulsive, I worry about his safety more than anything. He’s in occupational therapy which has helped a bit but his school is amazing and has done so much to help him. I wish someone paid attention when I was younger, I struggled sooo much. I’m finally starting to get some kind of structure in life and I have 5 kids. Myself and husband have adhd as well as my 8yo and 5yo.
My parents laughed at my face when i told them that i think i have adhd i am hyperactive i cant focus in class or in conversations i forget alot and find it very hard to complete small taxes
I don’t have think I have ADHD nor ADD but I’m wondering if I have a learning disability? Please feel free of comment your thoughts on this My symptoms: I struggle a lot in Geography and English and sometimes in maths. I don’t understand a question that everybody else seems to understand. Sometimes I have to read the question over and over like 3-5 times. I’m now 14 and I’m struggling to sometimes compute what people are saying. Once I was at school and the teacher was explaining a game I’ve never played or heard and though it was a tricky game in general I didn’t really under stand. It just went in one ear and out the other. I ended having the game explained 3 times and I got some of it and I ended up getting it as I go but there was an example Now I know a lot of people say they get detracted soooooo easily but tbh I don’t think I get detracted that much though within saying that. I mostly read the comments during videos. I’m always fidgeting with something in class at lunch at home. And back to the not understanding questions. I just generally don’t get it. Sometimes I’ll know what all the words in the question means but I can’t put it together. Sometimes I don’t know any of the words in the sentence. I get embarrassed to say anything. One of my friends who is on a scholarship at my school I’ll call her Kayla, she’s getting fed up with me asking her questions all the time. Like how to spell this word or what does this mean I don’t get it! I also fidget non stop. In class, at home. As I was writing this I thought of this while I was fidgeting lol. Also when I’m reading a book I sometimes read from a random spot cause it’s the first word I see and it’s really hard to stop myself from reading and also when I’m reading a book it’s hard to remember the stuff. I’m reading a book right now and I have no idea where the character is and who she’s with. It’s just really confusing. (It’s not just with book). Also I talk to myself without me knowing it and in my head think about things and have arguments with myself a lot of the time. (Christians please don’t hate. For example: I’m trying to learn and want to believe in god. I attend a Anglican school and a youth club but in my head I’m just thinking, “there’s no proof” “what are the odds in this god being real and not others”. I truely am trying to believe but im struggling. I haven’t been to youth all year so far) though that might be a personal problem not a symptom but still. I do forget things not too much and I have a record of missing the bus. Or getting on the bus in the middle of the road (hehehe). My best friend has ADHD and also my brother has too though we think he might have something else as well. I’m not the best at thinking things though. Should I be concerned about this or is this normal?
Try to ask a trusted adult about “Dislexia”, I am a little bit too lazy to explain to you(sorry I have ADHD I’m gonna talk crap) but just go to somebody and ask about Dislexia, I think you have this.
ive had an EXTREMELY hard time over the years, and i thought ADHD was always overdiagnosed, but for the others that are having an as-hard time as me, sending love
My daughter’s hyperactivity started when she was 2 years old I get kids are active, but she’s literally like the energizer bunny she can literally be moving constantly even after hours of playing outside in the yard and she’s now almost 5 years old for preschool she’s homeschooled because the preschool she doesn’t qualify for because it’s a preschool for the developmentally delayed and other preschools have a waiting list and she does have some behavioral issues but her therapist will not believe me and her dad doesn’t help me during her therapy appointments i feel so helpless because he denies everything even though he’s not home with her 24/7 like I am so he doesn’t let me do the talking
Hey everyone! Hope this helps. I'll be here responding to comments / questions if you have any.

I am in the same boat with one of my daycare kids. He is 5. He has all of the characteristics. Mom chalks it up to him “being weird like his dad.” Ya...that’s not it. Like what is the worst that could happen if you get him checked out? He doesn’t have it? Awesome! Or he does, and then he can get the help he needs. Also awesome!

Back in kindergarten, I was kicking over things and our teacher had to move the other kids out of the room because they thought I was going to hurt someone. I have been experiencing symptoms of adhd since I was young and it is really uncomfortable being hyper, especially being overweight.
I also got detention twice this school year because I procrastinated A LOT and back when I was younger, my mom gave me spankings because of how I misbehaved at school, and I would hide from my mom so she wouldn’t be able to find me and I felt like I couldn’t control when I did these things I just felt frustrated and energized enough to do it.
I’m literally 99% sure I have adhd and I tried talking to my parents about it but they don’t believe in it. I just want to get help.

I was diagnossed with ADHD as a child. My parents just carried on as if I was a naughty child. Every adult who surrounded me as a child thought I was I naughty child and treated me with disdain. All of them believed all I needed was a firm hand and stronger punishments. As an adult I've cut most of my aunts and uncles out of my life completely.
I always got punished for my sudden feelings of anger and amount of energy when I do it. I am not diagnosed, but I have most of the symptoms of adhd. (I am not self diagnosed)
That is so heartbreaking. I am curious, what could your parents have done that would have helped you? My daughter is type 3 and I feel so defeated as a parent because I dont know how to help her. My daughter is in 3rd grade and she still struggles to add/subtract, write sentences as well as has a speech delay. She also has difficulty making friends because she comes off as "weird" to other kids. I just want to protect her but I know she needs to be able to interact socially. I know children with ADHD are not naughty - they are sweet children with a lot of life and have amazing imaginations and creativity! My daughter is one of the sweetest and most caring little girl and I dont want her to grow up feeling like no one likes her..that is so terrible and Im so sorry that you were treated like a naughty child.
@@mzchelle7769 definetly try professional help and if you can’t afford that Internet forums o professionals in the internet shall suffice I believe.
@@mzchelle7769 ask the doctors if it would be plausible for her to take ritalin
@@mzchelle7769 also people with adhd dont come off as weird to other people, usually thats with autism and ocd. so either the people at her school are weird themselves, or its some other problem unrelated
I teach pre-k. It's unbelievable how many parents think their child has add/adhd. Most of the time the child is going through a phase where they are seeking independence or maybe being strong willed. Lots of times the parents don't seem to understand that their child isn't going to just naturally behave or not need to be reprimanded more than once for something. It's a work in progress.
Oh thank you I thought I was the only one who think my daughter have it she is just 3
Wish my parents payed attention to me like that
@@aliaa4534 yes :)
Thank you, some parents just want their kids to be special.
This made me feel better. I hope it’s just a phase but i see that my son is the only one in his little class that never ever sits down and he constantly moves and talks, & the teachers are always complaining and they suspect that he might have adhd 😢
I think I have ADHD but I'm too scared to tell my parents to get me tested at school (they can diagnose you) to see and I've always been hyperactive and day-dreamy and I have problems regulating my emotions

Wait you can get diagnosed at school? I needa do that
It is absolutely real! I've suffered from most of these symptoms since about seven years old. My dad won't admit it but he has it as well. Now my son faces the similar fate. I understand the fear and loathing.
Diet and exercise helps me immensely. First having coffee in high helped alot. The men in my family are additionally polyglots.
A good nutritionalist helped my step daughter with bi polar disorder.
Hang in there comrades!

Lots of valuable information in here for families looking to understand how to get help for their child and what testing looks like for ADHD. Thank you for pulling together this information. Since you asked, I'd love if you could post videos about 1) strategies parents could use to help their ADHD child at home and keep their sanity 2) how teachers can support students with ADHD. I work in a lot of schools where students, teachers, and families are struggling with the impact that ADHD has on their lives. Thanks again!
Thank you Stacy! Will do. Our next video is about possible treatments for ADHD, but we have tons of videos coming out about helping your child both at school and at home.
We even have an entire course coming out that's taught by all kinds of ADHD specialists and specifically addresses how to handle the transition to middle school and understand your child's needs, without losing your mind.

Me: watching this, zoning out
My symptoms:
Disorganized- I can’t keep track of ANYTHING a month will pass and my school folder/binder has so much stuff that it’s almost breaking, there’s wrappers and trash in my backpack. I always feel like something is dirty/messy but I can’t clean it cause I get sidetracked
Short attention span- my mom gets frustrated with me cause I can’t hear what she’s saying cause I’m paying attention to something else, I don’t know how I get good grades, I can’t pay attention to save my life, my mind is always on things that I’m interested in. And never on the things that I’m doing
Fidgeting- I am moving 24/7 unless I’m REALLY interested in what I’m doing, it’s all finger tapping, foot tapping, hand flapping, anything but staying still, I have repetitive things that I do over and over and over again
Special interests- I’ve heard somewhere that people with ADD, ADHD, and on the Autistic spectrum have special interests, for me it’s my favorite show, art, rodents, and acting/music, anything other then those things is just uninteresting to me.
Emotional outbursts- my emotions change rapidly, I’m happy for a minute and then the next I’m worried, or I get distracted, I’m fine for a day and then suddenly I feel really sad.
I have all of these on a daily basis
On the special interests- I really like literature ( mostly fantasy and historical fiction ) and Greece mythology
Yo I think we have the same symptoms but I still need to be diagnosed by a professional
Me: watching this realizing I do most of these things
Orange Runes i have the same symptoms and i also dont understand how i do good in school. i think its just bc i turn in my work at the last minute and just make the deadline haha
Im a step parent,i live with a 7 year old boy,
His father gets mad at the mention of adhd,thinking its bad. This is just how a 7 year old acts
He really struggles,he pulls at his shirts,fidgets the entire body at the slight of any uncomfort or confrontation,he starts to hyperventilate too
When spoken to,he will ignore everything you say,and say"yes, but.." And start talking about what he wants,unrelated to what we tell him
He interrupts all conversations,and talks excessively,which is why no one reallys likes playing or hanging around him
But when it comes to expressing emotion,he struggles hard and ends up spazzing out,fidgeting hard
He really really reallly REALLY strughles with listening ,and really really struggles to stat still
Which isnt a problem but its just seems so extreme,i havent seen this kind of behaviour
Can anyone help me out with this?
My 8 year old grandson has ADHD I am trying to help him with this because I love him and need to help and I will 🙏
Give him wild caught fish oil!!! Liquid is better but the pills are easier to give to little kids I have adhd and it really has helped me so much

Take him to the doctor instead of trying to diagnose him yourself. Especially as the step parent, you sound like you are projecting a lot of negative things and opinions of this boy.
My son has shown signs of ADHD since his toddler years. I tried and tried to talk about it with my wife who refused to acknowledge it as a real problem. Now the issues are more pronounced due to Asian schooling methods and academic pressure, she's finally willing to accept that our son's mind doesn't work like his peers. It's been exhausting trying to battle between the 2 extremes in personality.
@Demian ALIKA what herb
I have the same problem explaining to my asian family about my son’s problem trying to get more help
@@ThaoTran-dj8rs Shortly after that post a few years back, I managed to persuade the family to get him into an international school. While expensive it's been AMAZING. The whole family situation is better and more understanding. He's been given the support he needs at school with teachers who actually care and offer extra classes catered for ADHD and dyslexia. Plus the regular classes are smaller, so the teacher has more time to focus on each student. My son now loves going to school. I'd recommend it if there's something like that available near you.
Me a 12 yr old watching this and know my mom wont spend money for me being diagnosed or either diagnosed without it: 👁👄👁
Same 😫
same here, which makes me fake that i’m faking it while deep down ik i’m not.
You can be diagnosed at your school
My mother doesn't believe in ADHD in girls and earlier today when I expressed my concerns for ADHD to my therapist today she basically told me to just do my work, my mother agreed.
I hate it when my mom lectures or scolds me, so I just turn up the volume on my headphones and she gets mad at me.
I’m watching this 2 years later and I’m 13. I’m pretty sure I have ADHD as well as I KNOW I have severe anxiety I am constantly anxious and anger management issues… I tend to get frustrated with things quite easily and I was watching this to see if I can relate or compare to any of these symptoms and I’m pretty sure ATLEAST 99.9% sure that I’m affected with ADHD. I’m constantly fidgeting and getting distracted and I’m always fiding a way to move my body not being able to just sit. Thank you for testing me🖤
3:06 that is the BEST description of me I have ever heard this guy could not be anymore right about me
Thx for everything my daughter was diagnosed with adhd when she was 3 years old she has alot of the symptoms she fidgets alot during class,and also blurts out answers,talking excessively.
Thank you for sharing you’re story I have a quick question How did you help her I mean to get through it ?
i’m literally sobbing. i keep getting diagnosed with anxiety because i always forget to tell them about my adhd symptoms because i have such bad memory. my mother completely ignores all my symptoms and brushes it off as either hormones (even though i’m quite past that point) or just anxiety. but the thing is she genuinely believes adhd i just being loud and rowdy.
Him: *listing the symptoms*
Me: do I do that??? I don’t think so....?!
i just knew i had adhd and Im a kid im very impulsive talk to much and blurt out answers life is hard man its hard
When were you diagnosed(just curious)
I blurt things out and the kids glare at me except for my friend, I felt a bit better knowing she knew I didn’t mean to and didn’t get mad at me for it.
I'm not sure if I have ADHD but here is what I do
- i get angry
- i feel depressed sometimes
-i fidget
- i struggle to make friends
-i daydream
-im messy
- i get stressed easily
- i seem dramatic over small things
- I'm shy
There was a test to see if the viewer could tell who had ADHD and which kid didn’t and I knew that the girl had it cause she was a little shy and said she had moods and when she said she didn’t have a lot of friends and that people don’t invite her to things. it reminded me so much of my own life and it’s so hard to control yourself 😭 you just end up pushing people away bc of it awkwardness and how much you talk. It makes me so sad that she had it and has to deal with it. I get picked on a lot because of my impulsive and over active Conscious. I wish I was normal so much 😭😭
I have adhd and i take my medicine with coffee™️ and a monster™️
I'm 13 about to be 14 next month and I think I have ADHD. This 'noticing things before 12' gets me tripped up because although I can pinpoint specific examples of how ADHD has affected me before 12, I never really noticed any symptoms? I've been diagonsed with anxiety since I was 11. I don't know, it feels like I'm lying to myself though I know I'm not...I've never struggled academically in anything that wasn't math. Even now, I'm in an honors class and have been since I was in 4th grade where I have about 95s in every subject. It feels like I'm lying because I always thought I was 'just weird.' My family has always pushed horrible labels on me and stated that I'm not normal like other kids (which I am most definetely not). This includes socially, emotionally, and regular development because I was always slower on learning things such as tying my shoes and not wetting the bed...Those types of skills which you learn early on I only really mastered at 10 years of age. I am extremely sensitive to the point everyone at my elementary school considered me a 'cry baby' and I always dealt with anger horribly. Well, I have social anxiety so I feel like that already answers that. I know I'm different but it feels so weird that there might be a term for /how/ I'm different because there's people like me. My step brother has ADHD and I never knew until he told me last year, and we are so similar, so there's that...
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I really want to get diagonised and I've researched it but I don't know how. And it sort of feels like I'm lying to myself. I don't understand. This is complicated. What should I do?
I feel you... everything that you said is literally how I’m feeling rn maybe try talking to your guidance counselor at school?
@@originalxsammy8097 Hello! I hope you're able to find the help you need! ^^ I recently re-scheduled with my therapist and I found out that he actually does ADHD evaluations! I'm really unsure because I feel as if I'm still not being truthful, and If I pinpoint this label on myself and It turns not to be true It'll be like a confirmation that I really am all the bad things people say I am. I know ADHD isn't an excuse for anything, but I think it's better to know you're different for a reason rather than just because you are.
Anyway, I think I'm going to take a chance and ask for the evaluation. I hope you're able to do so as well. I appreciate your comment and the sentiment. Have a nice day!
Going to get a diagnosis will help you find out if you have ADHD, and if not, the therapist running the diagnosis will most likely have an inkling as to who to talk to next. There is ASD which is a vast spectrum, social pragmatic disorder, and so many other disorders that once you learn about them and how they impact you, you will find the tools and skills and possibly medication you need to help you. Always be your own advocate and reach out to school staff. If your school does not have a therapist you can connect with, ask the front desk for websites and emails of psychologist staff who work for the district. They will be more than willing to help you get into contact with whomever you need.
I’m an adult with adhd people don’t believe me and I even doubted myself but then I took the medication and my life changed so much for the better so I believe fully!
Hey! I noticed it seemed you wanted to know what happened and why I came here to look. Well, I'm actually nearly 11 and am bullied for my so-called "ADHD / ADD". I'll tell my story if you're curious!
My "Friends" and I were in ELA (we're in Spanish immersion), and I wasn't paying attention, mind you, I was much more interested in the paper origami piano I created during History. I was practicing my chords for the song I was supposed to perform the next day. The teacher noticed I was interested in something other than her lesson. Her immediate thought was "Oh, this student is on her phone." May I remind you, I don't currently own a phone, just a laptop. She said something along the lines of "______, give me your phone. Class is in session." I responded with "Ma'am, I don't own a phone. I just have trouble focusing on things." After class, my "friends" humiliated me over my embarrassing encounter the class before. I believe one named Keira said something like "Dude, ADHD sucks!!!! I Have it, and it's not fun." (She didn't have it, she's just a lying b*tch.) I was curious about what ADHD actually meant.
As far as I know, I just know I have Anxiety, Depression, and Insomnia. Here I am, and I'm fairly certain I have ADHD / ADD after watching this. Thanks, and hope you found this helpful!
My 2 sons had ADHD, one with specific learning disabilities. He was the most hyper child I have ever seen. He started very young, he started walking at 7 months, and he never stopped running. He graduated high school, and also college. That is impressive as he had disgraphia. He can not spell even simple words. He tested in the top 3 percent on I Q test. He won an award for set design while in college and was in the top three in the country. His son is also ADHD but it's well controlled with medication. He makes very good grades in school.
Thanks for this, a lot of this resonates and I definitely need to get my son tested. Appreciate the advice of how to go about looking for an assessment, its not rocket science but makes more sense hearing it from the experts. Thank you

Beautifully explained. Thank you. 🌸
I have two children that have ADHD.
My daughter has the inattentive type, and my son has the hyperactivity/impulsive type. I, too, have ADHD (inattentive type). For us, it is manageable. There are just certain things that we need to do to manage it. It has certainly been a learning process, and I am confident to say that we now have a good system down. Also, Quillichew (for the kids) and Concerta (for me) have worked beautifully. Thanks again for sharing your video and spreading awareness. Yes, ADHD is very real, and if you think that you or someone you know has ADHD, ..make an appointment to see a DOCTOR. You got this! 💪🏼
Have an awesome day everyone. :)
Hi Aimz, thank you so much for sharing! You're right, with the right tools ADHD can absolutely be manageable. If you're looking for more resources, our ADHD Q&A Panel is today and we are so excited to be hosting it with our panel of experts.

Thank you for sharing❤I am getting my 3 year old screened
Myself and husband both have adhd as well (inattentive type) I have 5 kids. 2 of which have adhd as well. My 8yo is inattentive and my 5yo is hyperactive. Just had our meeting at their school for a 504 plan. This is so true, with the right tools, it can be manageable. For myself and husband, we are medicated after 15+ years of trying and failing at fitting into the societal norms but both of my boys are in occupational therapy to help them learn tools for making adhd manageable
All I'm thinking about is what the hell the captions mean-
No worries, we fixed them for you!
I used to always get frustrated because i could never focus or i couldn't stop moving and i was always bored no matter what i was doing my parents won't acknowledge that i clearly have adhd and i don't know what to do
Try to show them our content and see if they change their mind. Our ADHD summit highlights video shows what the experts say.
When i was young i was taken out of class a couple times to go to a sketchy office building, stay in a room with some random guy. and play easy games like : tap X ONLY when you see the X on the screen. i felt like it was too boring and still messed up, little did i know people were watching me and that test would change my life forever..
i pretty sure i have ADHD or ADD. i’m not sure though because my father was the same as a kid, and was tested for ADHD, and didn’t have it. i find it very hard to focus in school and find myself daydreaming and fidgeting with things all the time. i also find it super hard to get into anything (reading a book or watching a video that i’m not interested in. i’ll read it and hear it in my head but i just forget about it as soon as i think about it again.). i’m bored very easily too. i sometimes get hyper for no reason. i have other things too that i can’t really describe, i guess lol.
Hi.im A Mom of a teen who was hyper and impulsive as a child and now at 13 is better but still looses focus and needs lots of reminders. From what you described you reminded me of my child so take heart it's not necessarily a bad thing people with ADHD and also people on the autism spectrum a lot of times end up being extremely creative imaginative Innovative thinkers there are RUclips videos like this to watch that will encourage you there's also tips on how to cope with ADHD online one tip is to make a list my daughter functions much better with lists and reminders that she can see. Also regulary exersize helps release excess energy and you make concentrate better after exercising because now you are calm and can focus this works well for my child also said she has been doing homeschooling since you was in second grade and really loves it.
But daydreaming is not necessarily A Bad Thing there are some people who are straight A students and very studious but cannot have one original idea and their head we are all different so focus on your qualities and not on comparing yourself to anyone else okay?. Keep smiling.you are enough.you are awesome.Be creative.Be kind. Put effort.Thats enough to be happy. We all can improve on something but don't let you obsess over it self-acceptance is very important.🙂❤-
from a well meaning Mom.
I make noises in class and the kids say can you stop and sometimes they say it really harshly, and I feel really happy and I keep making the noise. I also have these funny voices I do when I get bored, and I get hyped up when I do them, and then the kids kept laughing at me, and they always said: “Hey Simone, can you make that noise again?” I stopped doing it for them because I started to notice them snickering when I did it, and it hurts so much. I think my friend notices it too, cause she has this look on her face that is just saying “Does she know?” Or something like that.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression , anxiety and illicit pill addiction . Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone . Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues . ⠀
Please does anyone know where I can get them ? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels , I would love to try shrooms
@@louisianawalters7452 Yes Dr Mile
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
Tripping is not really bad but find a good mycologist Who will teach you the right things you need to know
I was having this constant , unbearable anxiety because of stress. Not until I also came across Dr.Mile a very intelligent mycologist. He came through for me with his knowledge on psychs.
I have a friend that swears that she has this and doesn't even act like it because she can concentrate and finish a task,and now just because her daughter is having some trouble in math she swears that her daughter has it.. I've tried to tell her that some kids just don't get math and sometimes it just the teacher and the way they teach it. .
Our son has ADHD, we cant take him out to eat and grocery shopping is a nightmare lol. We have to hold his hand around streets anywhere near a street, pretty much everywhere. We look for parks with fencing or a hiking parks with trails. He likes to say hi to every person he sees which is so cute and most of the time people respond with a smile and a hello. Sometimes not lol. He does enjoy rough housing (hitting, jumping/rolling on people, ramming his head into them, etc 🤦🏻♀️😂)and once he's in flo its difficult getting him to settle down. I'm a fairly new mom and in all my years of taking care of kids I've never seen a child with as much energy as ours. Thank you for this video I'm still fairly new to all this and I appreciate any info I can find!
That is my son as well.
One word MEDICATION
i’d saying hi part of adhd my son says hi and bye to his classmate all the time
@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 Oh yes, also its all about the technique. I have a whole system down for everywhere and everything. Not that things always run smoothly lord knows lol but I finally figured out how to get around some things. No meds at this point and I'm hoping to avoid them. Not that I'm against it bc I know its necessary and beneficial to them, but I know with medication its tricky business and its all about finding what works for that individual. So for now I'm just going to do and try everything I can. Like now when we go to the grocery store first thing I do is tell him what is going on and what I expect from him. I constantly engage with him in the store, pointing at things and asking him questions about them. I'll let him help put things in, let him pick out a special food so he's less likely to just pick up random things. I always praise him for all his help, he loves that stuff. But yea lol he's just an all around great kid. Its sucks we live in a world that forces people to believe they have to conform to a "normal" that dosen't even exist.
i cant tell if this is real or not because absolutely none of the things you described is correlated to adhd
I have become friends with parents that I then had to stop going around because they would always comment thinking my child is undisciplined and putting so much pressure on me. I have ADHD and it’s very likely my son does. There are other ways that are more effective to dealing with a non typical neuro type that people without this wouldn’t understand. I’m not sad about losing the friends but I did try to force it for a long time, instead of accepting my own parenting, myself, and child. Other people will have opinions and can be negative, even if I welcomed them to share those, it did not mean they were right. And if people don’t think they are listened to they kind of lose respect, which went both ways.
I promised to do my homework after eating... It's been 3 hours since I said that and my tea is cold
Thank you for such informative video I'm a mum of A 7 yrs old boy and recently had meeting with his teacher and we feel he has ADHD and I will help him wherever I can.
“regulating their attention is difficult” (ive been diagnosed btw)
*me deciding to start the video, forget it was playing and look for my headphones*
*then me playing with my haiespray*
I feel like i have adhd because when i did a research i fit them all but I don't want to get judged because they might think I self diagnosed :((
My dad is the biggest problem in my life because I have adhd I can't hear him good and I can't focus on anything.
My son has almost all the symptoms. Am tires of the school calling and atimes making it seem I am at fault because my kid does not has focus at school. ( Same at home) now I can seek help. Thankfully I live in Germany. I don't have to worry about price or insurance coverage. Thanks allot for the video.my kid is going to fine.
Him: talking
Me: making weird sounds and not being able to focus lol
A few days ago, I found out that I have adhd , soon my dad will take me to consult with a psychiatrist. Hope I get well soon.
Me: has all the symptoms
My friend:you might have it
Me: to busy scrolling through the comments
I'm babysitting this 6 yr old boy in 1st grade. He can't sit still and I have to sit next to him all day to keep reminding him to focus since he will be drawing or doing random things and not listen to the teacher at all. I think he may have adhd. His dad mentioned him having run out of his medicine recently, but he didn't mention for what.
3:27 “attention defashit”💀💀💀😂😂😂
Woops 😅 sorry about that
@@SmartCourse it’s all good man😂😂😂
I have took multiple adhd test all coming back positive and have all of these symptoms I also suffer from anxiety, though I never tell anyone and jts just been making my anxiety worse. What should I do. Xx
I completely zoned out and forgot I was even watching this video 🤭
Haha same!
Hes speaks way too slow
@@frankythebean4596 lol I was remembering where I would put vulgar things like murder for my storylines in 2nd grade, and I fell asleep, and cheated on spelling tests. ALL IN SECOND GRADE.
I’m almost sure I have adhd I have all most all of the symptoms but whenever I ask my mum if we can get a test she just says maybe and completely forgets about it.
him : “ has a hard time focusing on one thing “
me : scrolling through the comments because i got bored from listening
Same
That’s normal because maybe he didn’t mention something important yet . And want to real people’s experiences

SAME- 😂
i turned 12 in march and i have symtoms since i was like 10-11 but i wasnt thinking much of it since 2 weeks i really think i have adhd i took google test (also on youtube) and all came back negative i really want to get diagnosed because i have many symtoms but i dont know how to ask my mom
My nephew dont never keep still & hes always making noise & being rude😂, iam convinced he has ADHD, but i still love him no matter what💕
Here are my symptoms: Short attention span, I hit myself when I'm angry, don't sit still, am always tapping or fidgeting, I don't disrupt a room, I get very angry very easy, I am scared people will disappear/leave me if they are behind me, and I get distracted easily, matter of fact I paused so I could write this comment, I also talk a lot, and often don't finish tasks, or over do them or do the bare minimum, I'm also active and hyper. I am 11 and this started at 10 probably but I've been fidgety for longer. Is it worth getting checked out?
Yes! Show your parents our website: www.smartcourse.io/adhd-membership-1
I have ALL the signs and my mom said that’s what every kid does, she said it’s just stupid and she won’t let me get tested 0-0
Don't say it cuz they think that ure just making it
Back earlier in the year, if you look at my work from the beginning of my classes, you can see full on artworks on the top of my paper lol. My teachers always call my name and tap on me and tell me to pay attention and not draw on my papers.
This is the best video for ADHD IV ever watched. So simple and organised ❤
I think I have ADD I have all of the symptoms, but if I tell my mom she will think I’m lying just because my best friend has ADHD
I think I might have adhd/add because whenever I watch a video I always just forever scroll through the comments and then watch a few minutes and switch for a different video, I barely ever watch to the end and I can never keep still for longer than 10 seconds. I’m too scared to ask my parents to take me to the doctors because I’m scared I’m wrong and it was all just in my head..

@@SmartCourse thanks!
Ok, I can relate with every symptom. What should I do 😐
My son has all the signs, but the funny part is he fares decently in school compared to how less he really studies for them. He is ok with his social life. Not grt but not too bad. He interacts with extended family very well. However, inside the house, his room is a mess, he is shouting all the time fidgeting all the time, pulling on things, knocking on our heads, screaming into our ears, constantly seeks gadgets or junk food, eats messily even now at 14. His outside personality and inside personalities are poles apart
This is very good - easy to follow.Substantial.
The thing is I’m like 99% sure I have adhd but I dunno how to ask my parents to get me to a specialist so now I’m confused and I feel like I’m just a weird kid
I’m pretty sure I have ADHD but all the ADD signs match me except not overly active I get random bursts of energy I like cannot sit still at all I talk a lot and I tend to blurt things out in the middle of class
But The only thing I can relate to and type two is can’t sit still and a little bit of impulsiveness
Oh OK I didn’t see the type 3. One that matches me is type 3 but can it be diagnosed in a person 12 and older because I’m 12 and I think I have it
Literally I'm exactly the same, but 13 not 12
I have pretty much all the symptoms apart from the aggressive side, i usually keep that to myself.
I have ADHD and dyslexia haha
Me to
It’s so hard
I ADHD kids are so nice
Wish you good luck in scho kid
NFFCJENS !!! You just don’t, you literally said you have mental health 😂🤣🤣😂🤣
7/9..
I’m gonna try getting an appointment scheduled.
My son has the signs and symptoms of type 3, but he is 5 years old, his doctor said that his is can’t be ADHD because of is age, his diagnosis is Genral developmentat delay, I confused 🤷♂️
Actually 5 years old can have ADHD. You can wait a few years if you want and check again
Not me the whole time playing with the lamp
My adhd is the most common
I drink coffee to calm my self down whenever I'm to hyper im only 8 to and I dont know if 8 year olds are supposed to have adhd I dont know if other kids have adhd
But If i remember correctly I did think it was just me being super hyper active but one of my cousins said I have adhd and i wasn't really concerned about it and just let it slide after staying indoors for months I was kinda tired of being....
Inside like we're all stuck at home like seriously like
PEOPLE STOP SWALLOWING BATS
Like ya know what I'm saying.
ANYways I gotta go
You can have ADHD when you're 8, yes, but I don't think 8 year olds should have coffee-
@@kaisepher yeah that mostly true nut im 9 now
At any age you can get ADHD, So you don't need to worry
Your parents let you have coffee at eight years old?
@@crispycutie7058 ok thats at least a relief
I have constant motion because my teacher always catches my standing in my chair or standing up dancing behind my chair. I am easily sidetracked because I just randomly go through my book bag at school and when my mom tells me to go get something and I get sidetracked and I have to go back to her to see what she needs again. I am talking excessively because my teacher is always telling me to be quite in class. I always squirming and fidgeting because I have bad anxiety and so I like to bring a squishy to school and squish it. I am frequently forgetful because my mom tells me to do something and I forget what she says. I am interrupting because when my mom is talking to my dad I just budge into their room and answer their questions.
Me: Trying to watch the video
Also Me: Focuses deeply on the functioning of a plastic toy fish hook
Hi, I don't know if anyone is actually able to help out with this, or even understands it at all, but just try to hear me out. When I was in 7th grade, I actually got depressed pretty badly, and I'm not going to lie, I still am very slightly, though I'm getting better. But I've had panic attacks multiple times within the last 2-3 ish years. Since I was 11, I cannot stop moving, and it's hard for me to focus on multiple things. If I'm ever working on school work or something, I lose my focus from it. And knowing that I should be working on something, it's like my mind literally has a mind of it's own, making me do things that I know I shouldn't, and sometimes I can't stop even if I try the hardest I ever can. I will start saying something, but I forget about everything within seconds, but it happens multiple times every single day. Most of my sentences just turn to "Uhmm.." Or just "I forgot again". Not to mention, I will get told to do something, and no joke, I forget about it just seconds later completely. Does anyone know if this might be ADHD, or may it be something else? Or is it just me?
I’m sorry, but I don’t have the answer to your question😢 although you aren’t alone. My dad told me something to get for him, but seconds later my mind went blank and I couldn’t remember what he asked me. Thankfully I can remember this story, but really, you’re not alone 🙂 I haven’t officially gotten checked for any mental illnesses yet, but I got 7/9 symptoms of ADHD so I really don’t know🤷🏽♀️
I had adhd when I was 7 but when I eat healthy foods and bot take pills , I could actually grow normally. I’m still behind in growth
I had adhd when I was 7 but when I eat healthy foods and bot take pills , I could actually grow normally. I’m still behind in growth
Me 11-13
...you can't be cured from ADHD, but good for you for eating more healthy
I got diagnosed when I was like three or four and im not sure but all the test I have watched has been with a 100% score or 90% score. And I have never got medication or anything like that.
My mom thinks I'm just using adhd as an excuse to not be as focus and do bad in school which is not true I just want to get tested and make sure bc I had to drop out of a smart school bc they wouldnt let me move around and got upset my I clicked my pens and fidgeted
My 5yo is type 3 adhd. He runs into roads with no regards to cars or anything around him, he just got in his first fight because a kid hit him in the back and that was the straw (he’s usually amazing in school) he can’t stay still, struggles with group activity, struggled with holding a pencil because he just wanted to build with blocks instead and never had an interest sitting to draw/ color But he’s so incredibly smart to the point where he’s getting an iq test this month to see if he qualifies for gifted classes. He’s just sooooo impulsive, I worry about his safety more than anything. He’s in occupational therapy which has helped a bit but his school is amazing and has done so much to help him. I wish someone paid attention when I was younger, I struggled sooo much. I’m finally starting to get some kind of structure in life and I have 5 kids. Myself and husband have adhd as well as my 8yo and 5yo.
“Affects their self control”
*ME : LOOKING AT OTHER VIDEOS*
Me reading comments lol
My parents laughed at my face when i told them that i think i have adhd i am hyperactive i cant focus in class or in conversations i forget alot and find it very hard to complete small taxes
I don’t have think I have ADHD nor ADD but I’m wondering if I have a learning disability? Please feel free of comment your thoughts on this
My symptoms:
I struggle a lot in Geography and English and sometimes in maths. I don’t understand a question that everybody else seems to understand. Sometimes I have to read the question over and over like 3-5 times.
I’m now 14 and I’m struggling to sometimes compute what people are saying. Once I was at school and the teacher was explaining a game I’ve never played or heard and though it was a tricky game in general I didn’t really under stand. It just went in one ear and out the other. I ended having the game explained 3 times and I got some of it and I ended up getting it as I go but there was an example
Now I know a lot of people say they get detracted soooooo easily but tbh I don’t think I get detracted that much though within saying that. I mostly read the comments during videos. I’m always fidgeting with something in class at lunch at home. And back to the not understanding questions. I just generally don’t get it. Sometimes I’ll know what all the words in the question means but I can’t put it together. Sometimes I don’t know any of the words in the sentence. I get embarrassed to say anything. One of my friends who is on a scholarship at my school I’ll call her Kayla, she’s getting fed up with me asking her questions all the time. Like how to spell this word or what does this mean I don’t get it!
I also fidget non stop. In class, at home. As I was writing this I thought of this while I was fidgeting lol. Also when I’m reading a book I sometimes read from a random spot cause it’s the first word I see and it’s really hard to stop myself from reading and also when I’m reading a book it’s hard to remember the stuff. I’m reading a book right now and I have no idea where the character is and who she’s with. It’s just really confusing. (It’s not just with book).
Also I talk to myself without me knowing it and in my head think about things and have arguments with myself a lot of the time. (Christians please don’t hate. For example: I’m trying to learn and want to believe in god. I attend a Anglican school and a youth club but in my head I’m just thinking, “there’s no proof” “what are the odds in this god being real and not others”. I truely am trying to believe but im struggling. I haven’t been to youth all year so far) though that might be a personal problem not a symptom but still.
I do forget things not too much and I have a record of missing the bus. Or getting on the bus in the middle of the road (hehehe). My best friend has ADHD and also my brother has too though we think he might have something else as well. I’m not the best at thinking things though. Should I be concerned about this or is this normal?
LoveMilliePops dyslexia
Try to ask a trusted adult about “Dislexia”, I am a little bit too lazy to explain to you(sorry I have ADHD I’m gonna talk crap) but just go to somebody and ask about Dislexia, I think you have this.
It sounds like ADD with Dyslexia. That's what I have. I was diagnosed at 4 with ADD. And dyslexia when I was in school.
I was diagnosed with adhd but it was never spoken of again. I want meds so bad but my parents think it’s a crush

Smart Course ok thanks!
ive had an EXTREMELY hard time over the years, and i thought ADHD was always overdiagnosed, but for the others that are having an as-hard time as me, sending love
My daughter’s hyperactivity started when she was 2 years old I get kids are active, but she’s literally like the energizer bunny she can literally be moving constantly even after hours of playing outside in the yard and she’s now almost 5 years old for preschool she’s homeschooled because the preschool she doesn’t qualify for because it’s a preschool for the developmentally delayed and other preschools have a waiting list and she does have some behavioral issues but her therapist will not believe me and her dad doesn’t help me during her therapy appointments i feel so helpless because he denies everything even though he’s not home with her 24/7 like I am so he doesn’t let me do the talking
So now she start school or not?
My daughter is 2.7 year old and hyperactive with delayed speech i am also worried about her school
