as someone who is in fact inattentive, i appreciate the quick video 😅
I was just thinking the same thing lmaoooooo
This ⬆️
Same. And I still had to replay it cuz I zoned out lmao
I’m a parent of a child with inattentive adhd. I’m trying to learn all I can about it and how to help him. Thanks!
As somebody with 9 out of 9 of the traits of inattentive adhd, same
I told my mom i have inattentive adhd and she doesnt believe me so now I'm trying to find a good psychologist so I can better live my life
I did the same with my father and he didn’t believe me either. My parents both believed I was just lazy. Even though when I was a child my father would take me to different children’s doctors and talk with my teachers to find out why I “refused” to do well in school.
I told my daughter I think she has it. Thought it would help her life for her to get a diagnosis. She told me not to say that and that It wasn’t helpful.
@@whatwouldjudydo_ that’s strange, i had the exact opposite conversation with my mother yesterday. i believe i have adhd and i wanted to get a diagnosis, and she said that she didn’t want me to be labelled and i can do well in life without one, even if i do have it (which she doesn’t believe)
@@teenagedirtbird I guess when you’re old enough and earning money you can sort some treatment out. It’s a shame their is stigma about these “labels” I mean most people have some sort of issues and education about them can surely only help.
Do you find help from these sorts of channels?
@@whatwouldjudydo_ she agreed to bring me to a psychiatrist some time, but still believes that i don’t have it, and that she’s seen severe adhd in people and i’m not like that. i’m not the best in school, possibly partly because of my adhd, so if i do have it, having an official diagnosis would help me greatly.
and yeah, channels and videos like these are what led me to discover that i most likely have the condition. this realisation worried me at first but it’s helped me in realising why i am the way i am. that i’m not just lazy or stupid, i just need a little extra help, i suppose.
For me it sucks because me brother also has it, but he has the hyper version of it so I got looked over. This is why more boys are diagnosed than girls, because boy’s usually have the hyper type and girls have the inattentive type. I’m the “bright student that just needs to work harder” I’m not saying I have ADHD because I haven’t been diagnosed, but I have all nine symptoms.
I feel the exact same way! I have all of the symptoms as well but I am scared that I will be overlooked when getting properly diagnosed because I'm stereotypically smart. I also am not that hyperactive and I have learnt how to act like a good listener so people wouldnt believe I might actually have this form of adhd.
Daphne H Me too! I have good grades in school, and I’ve learned to look at the teacher while zoning out! My feet bob up and down but nothing noticeable. Best of luck to you
have you guys been diagnosed yet? im scared to even go to the doctor and my parents don’t believe me
yas yeah, they diagnosed me with inattentive ADHD. My parents say “it’s not an excuse to be lazy” though. Like seriously!? I’m not being lazy, I just can’t focus. I was hoping they’d believe me if I got a diagnosis ://
C A I T L I N sorry about that! Not to be annoying but can you explain how you got diagnosed? Like the questions they asked u I’m nervous just thinking about it
The length of this video totally caters to us and I 👏🏻 am 👏🏻 here 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 it!
EXACTLY 😖
I have 7/9 of these signs but I always thought I was just anxious and avoidant. Now idk
bipolar disorder is similar to adhd.
I went to therapy to get diagnosed with bipolar but ADHD came up and explained almost all of the symptoms. It almost all stemmed from the dopamine issue.
I had to replay the video because I wasn't paying attention.
Speaking of the devil
Hylke Tromp me too
Me too 😔
Same, but the devil was actually be getting distracted by posting about ADHD on a facebook post... But then social media can kind of be the devil so...... Yeah, speaking through the devil?
SAME lmao
I had to aswell 🥶
I grew up with this. It was tough.
I had to skip back a few times during this as i started daydreaming and lost focus hah. My ADD assesment next month cant come soon enough.
Can we get an Update? How did it go ?
The confusing part is there are some days that are better than others. Most days are just like walking through fog.
Thank you for explaining this in 1 minute. Most of the other people in videos talking about this seem to just blather on incessantly and not get to the subject.
All of the criteria in this video unfortunately apply to me. It's really hard to live a normal life when you can't stay on task, lose focus, and repeatedly give in to impulses. My peers think I'm an idiot when they see me fumble, misunderstand instructions, and lose things. It's been this way since I was a child, when teachers would yell at me for not listening to them or having an extremely disorganized backpack. People think ADHD is just a joke or a minor inconvenience, but it can really be life-defining.
My son was diagnosed at 16. He developed an addiction to opioids and benzodiazepines in an effort to self medicate. Once sober he found an ADHD med that didn't make him feel high all the time. Since then he has kept.a job and has a much better quality of life. I feel for people diagnosed with ADHD. It is so misunderstood.
I was diagnosed with this quite recently so thought i would give this a watch. I can’t unhear unfinished doodies 😂 we leave unfinished doodies everywhere 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I was Diagnosed 2 weeks ago and everything finally makes complete sense.
I’m smart enough to do my job well enough that I use it as an excuse to chat half of my day. I’ve already set up “efficiency” systems at work to help me not get overwhelmed but some days I can do “nothing” . I’m so lucky I sit at a desk all day so can mask how I’m feeling to some degree. My job as an architectural designer is creative enough to be fun but at times it’s torture (paperwork & forms). I haven’t been diagnosed but now I’m questioning my whole personality
I have ADHD Inattentive type and I learned that we come up with coping strategies we don't even realize we do as we live with this disorder. Over time, these strategies may not be enough as life gets more stressful and overwhelming. A lot of time that is the breaking point for most people and they finally go seek help.
I get what you are saying. I also discovered a job I love online where I am a Medical Inerpreter- for some reason, I can do this job correctly if Im taking notes online. However, there have been many jobs I have gone to, and the amount of stress and information to retain it-overwhelms me. I know I am smart, heck I know I have emotional intelligence, but when it comes to loads of information being verbally said to me, my mind just zones out. I will get evaluated next month.
I really think there's a possibility of me having this. I mean, just recently I perceived that I'm always lost in my own mind. I'm always daydreaming, talking to myself, talking to people I created in my head, losing my attention to everything. In school every task they make me do I get quickly distracted decorating it all with drawings of what I'm thinking about in the moment. I always don't pay attention to things that well and that can lead me to do things wrong and make teachers and my own parents mad as hell. I'm always forgetting everything, I have to note all things I have to do and tap it to my forehead to not forget it, and even so, I do. I find doing homework (principally maths) very hard, cause besides me not paying attention in class and daydreaming while teacher is speaking, I can't help but distract myself with everything, and even when I do focus, I cannot understand bs of what's going on in there. I'm doing this rn lol. Everything I do is disorganized, and when it's not, it's probably because I enjoy it alot. So yeah I'm talking this to my therapist
Also I'm really scared because I think my parents are gonna b real mad if I end up having it and get a diagnosis. Cause, they think adhd is caused by multitasking (?). They say I do it so much it could cause me to have it. Idk I just want to kick them for their ignorance
My parents called me stubborn and lazy, but I was actually experiencing the consequences of zoning out in conversations - causing me to forget a conversation, details, or delay the desire to do homework.
relatable
1. Overlook or miss details: Yes, sometimes. I try so hard not to have this happen that I focus too much on such a small focal area that I sometimes miss huge things in other areas. Playing games of Chess helps exercise this, but that's just me.
2. Difficulty remaining focused during certain tasks or conversations: Definitely, I find that trying to relate tasks to other things or making them into some sort of game or finding patterns in them makes it easier to do so. Until I occasionally become overcome by those patterns or mechanics and then find myself staring off into space thinking of a better way, lol!
3. Do not seem to be listening or Paying Attention: There are times when someone can be a few feet from me and I'm looking directly at them and I can even be watching their lips move and I will have no idea what they had just said to me. It usually ends up with the other person getting frustrated or think I'm being rude or disrespectful. I never apologize for this but rather explain what had just happened.
4. Difficulty following instructions: I only have this issue if there is a list of steps being given verbally. This usually is the cause of #'s 1, 2, and 3. lol. As long as I am able to write them down and repeat back, I'm good. Though the disinterest does tend to happy a LOT!
5. Messy, disorganized, poor time management: This was an issue and sometimes still pops up from time to time with the messy and disorganized but that is probably something that someone sees it from the outside. There IS a method to my madness. As far as Time management, I have to give myself dang near an awesome rating on that these days as I can usually time tasks throughout my day/week as to priority and whatnot. Kind of like cooking big dinners. Cooking thanksgiving usually starts with prep the night before and then start getting things ready in the morning starting with what will take the longest and doing other tasks in between in the "filler" time. In my day to day, I may be washing, trimming flash and priming my miniatures. For clarification, I do custom painting for tabletop and board game miniatures on commission. Then it is usually paint, then things around the house while that layer dries and then back to painting and then something during drying and so on and so forth. I just realized that I'm starting to write WAY TOO much! I'm actually not really sure why I started this post in the first place... I need to get back to work on painting and dishes/laundry. It is my last day off! I'm taking points away from my score of awesome on time management for now... I know I deserve it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
6. No way, like I said.... I already spent too much time here, lol! Maybe this covers enough of the rest!
By the time you got to #5, the adhd is in full effect lol
THANK U I cant understand or remember everything he's saying without text 😭
Thank you for elaborating, truly, thank you.
I can also be watching a person, trying to listen to what they're saying, yet none of it registers? It's as if I mishear them or the words just slip away just before it reaches my ears. LIkewise, with the verbal instructions!
The moment he said “forget returning important phone calls” I was like OH CRAP cause I forgot to return one myself 🙃
Oh man I didn’t even hear his say that one.
Me, relating to all 9 points 👁️👄👁️
Me relating to 2 of the points and being diagnosed with adhd inattentive :(
@@AlqhaIsHereBTD do you feel like you have adhd? Did you get diagnosed by a professional?
Wow I have all of these but still haven't been diagnosed or looked at for this , already been diagnosed with anxiety and depression for years now but the more I learn of inattentive type adhd the more I feel like it fits me
I have been diagnosed with the non hyperactive one (ADD). I am not completely without hyperactivity. I just don't rock back and forth but I am known to fidget. One of my teachers in high school could testify to that. In fact I have her to thank for the testimony she gave. I was given paper copies of all forms including her testimony in those papers. I strongly recommend getting a cheap used document scanner (automatic feeder and duplex mode highly recommended) and scanning your papers. Take your time on this and then back them up. This is what I did one cold winter day when I had nothing else to do. The automatic feeder made the scanning go by so quickly, imagine the eternity that it feels like to load each sheet onto a flatbed scanner. While that will produce a more than acceptable scan it will be monotonous. Just don't overload the document feeder or you may get multiple pages fed at once or worse, a jam. I was cautious to avoid jams since those are my only copies and thankfully none got damaged. I don't know how I would replace them, asking the SSA for them can be an unnecessarily bureaucratic process. Now they are backed up on at least 2 external hard drives along with the original scans still on the computer.
I struggled to get through this whole video without closing it and doing something else then to remember I was watching this video lol
In many ADHD comment sections I see especially young people having difficulties communicating with their parents on this topic.
To those, I just want to encourage you to make a diagnostic. Better even make two with different experts (not random pediatricians, genuine adhd experts).
For parents it's often difficult to accept their child might be somewhat different from 'normal'. Their automatic conclusions often go the 'my child isn't crazy, they don't need a psychiatrist' route. That can be because they want to protect their child from being treated badly (if they're good parents) or themselves from redicule by their own peers (if they're not so great parents) etc. There's many reasons to first think this way.
An official diagnosis might give you some leverage to be taken more seriously and having your arguments actually being heared and not repelled right away.
And don't get discouraged just because one therapist rejects you. Not every psychiatrist or psychologist is knowledgeable about ADHD. Really take the extra time and look for someone who is actually an ADHD expert.
Good luck to you all!
My parents diagnosed me with this 2 years ago, and I have 1-2 at most of the symptoms in the video. When I took ADHD medicine it did nothing but make me feel more angry and suicidal. I don't even know what to do anymore. I had no choice in the diagnosis. My parents would just lie about my behaviors and exaggerate everything, the doctors didn't ask me any questions.
@@AlqhaIsHereBTD Whoa, that sounds horrible! Also a rather strange kind of behaviour. How is your relationship to your parents otherwise? Also, how old are you now? Could you go and speak to an expert without parental supervision?
@@julyol119 My relationship to my parents is terrible. I am 15 now. And I can't speak to an expert without parents there I think.
The last year and a half I've started to notice almost all the symptoms in this video and I brought it up and my mom said it was because of my phone 💀
@@nataliemejia70 Did you get the phone then? It's true that our phones are exceptionally good at bombarding us with dopamine. This in return may make you feel like other activities aren't as rewarding and thus make it difficult to concentrate on them. Try doing a little dopamine detox (basically just turn off notifications in the services you are using, so that you only see the messages etc. once you deliberately open the app and don't get distracted by them all the time).
Do this for at least a few weeks and see if it gets better. Our brains aren't used to that constant information influx, need down times to function properly, so if you are really having problems with attention that border on ADHD, it's at least worth a try!
Also your age plays a role. The onset is usually very rare over age 12, if I remember correctly. Not saying its not possible, but usually connected to something. Most people just always have had it and it rather gets better then worse with age.
As someone who's literally been diagnosed with Inattentive type ADD, I still feel attacked because everything is so spot on lmao
So i'm everything there and now it's starting to affect my work life and future, could handle it when i was young because it was "just school" but what are the next steps when you believe you have it. I'm 32
I am in the same boat.
Go to doctors
I was diagnosed at 27, already finished college, married and had two kids. The meds help like you would not believe! I feel so much more in control of the details of my life. Worth it to go through the steps to be diagnosed and get help!
same, i'm soon 30 and it is hitting me hard. I'm feeling so depressed over this
Yes! I’m 19 and when I was 17 I spent the whole year with doctors and meds yet nothing actually helped. So I gave up and decided it was just a mental thing I had to push through, end of story. but now here I am, unemployed and kinda struggling to do anything. My impulse control is completely gone - so hopefully some tips given to you could help me too!
I have this tyoe of ADHD and I'm telling you that it's hard to fight those symptoms. I often do it unconsciously.
I’ve already been diagnosed with inattentive ADHD for a few years now. I would say that 6 of 9 definitely apply but the other 3 certainly do not.
The 3 that do not are:
-Avoiding tasks that require lengthy attention.
I have no problems with tasks that require I focus for a long period.
-Being messy or disorganized.
Although I can be it’s not a habit.
-Don’t seem to listen or pay attention when spoken to.
This is often more of a problem than straight up not paying attention as instructors always say that I look like I’m paying attention and engaged and I also feel I am as well. So when I miss a detail it’s difficult to communicate what I missed.
Inattentive ADHD causes my brain to have moments where it pauses for a split second. This often causes me to loose my train of thought. Which really hampers my ability to right three sources, short stories, and exams within the usual allotted time.
Is it still considering being inattentive when you find out that if you do other mindless things it helps you pay attention? Such as drawing boxes or rectangles while listening to others? But when you just try to listen(without doing anything at all) you're easily distracted or just zone out?
I'm not sure if that's considered the Hyper, Inattentive or Combined type, but that fidgeting is a thing in ADHD for sure.
The ADHD Dr. we saw with my 17 year old son said the doodling and boxes (I do that too) is actually very common and it is a way to help ground ourselves to focus better. (I too am being tested soon.)
I answered yes to 7/9 but one thing that stands out is that I feel I'm definitely a good listener and have been told as much by other people. Could I still have this subtype if you have no problem being patient and listening to others in conversation?
I would say so, because if you're interested in what a person has to say, you're more likely to focus on it.
It sucks to have it half. Like not extreme but i have the symptoms and because of that i dont have a diagnosis but i still have problems like i dont keep friends if i dont see them a lot and i cant paying attention in clas whisch is why im out of school without friends and my life sucks. I always want something else which makes it hard to keep motivated. Sorry for the bad english
ADHD is a spectrum disorder, so some people have mild cases and some have debilitating cases that severely affect their lives. It sounds to me that you have it bad enough that medication would help you focus and gain motivation so you can have a better life.
This is me! Once I got the ADD diagnosis everything made much more sense. I'm still incredibly disorganised but at least I know why, and no longer beat myself up about it.
Had to watch this 3x before I fully got everything
Really glad you did not drag it on. Well explained in under 2 minutes. Some videos go on and on before they get to the main point.
LOVE the brevity.
Great specific list don't confuse this with lack of interest or try to ignore uses hostile people
Had to watch this twice, bc the first time I forgot to pay attention.
I could never read when I was younger- I would just sound the words out, but would never know what the story of the book was. When I was 9, we used to have reading time, and whenever I read a book and my friend asked me about it, I would make up what it was about because I never absorbed any of the information. I never listened in class, especially English class where the teacher would read out the entire fiction book, so I had no idea what it was even about. When teachers were writing notes down for us to copy, I never knew what it said because I would just be zoned out. Even now, I struggle to read books, and I struggle to listen to audiobooks. The only way I can really keep concentration is when I listen to audiobooks and read the books at the same time, and even then its a little bit hard.
Oh and I never listen when people are talking at the dinner table, or when people are having a conversation, but that's changing since I started noticing it.
Do I have ADD, or do I just have low concentration levels? I don't experience hyperfocus, or many other symptoms.
Nailed all 9. I rock.
Anyone who knows me well knows I have every single trait. 😮 thank you! I’m saving this for the next time I need to explain to someone.
Dang I’ve been diagnosed by doctors but all the different meds they would give me felt like a bad drug trip and didn’t actually change anything. So I convinced myself I didn’t actually have this. But I check all those flipping boxes. I’m actually currently in a room filled with boxes Bc I haven’t managed to unpack, sleeping on a couch for the past 2 weeks because I haven’t even gotten my bed in yet. And I’ve mis-placed my wallet and keys. Dang dang dang. Damn.
You're not alone.
man i thought i was a normal person the whole time. now my life in utter ruin and i realize this problem.
Glad found shorter clip
I work all the time, but still behind. It's exhausting.
I've never gone to a psychologist but everything that was listed in this video was 100% me
I do relate to some of these symptoms, but I never really struggled in school. I've always had trouble with procrastination (lots of reports finished the night before in college), but my grades rarely suffered. However, I could have definitely gotten a lot more out of my college experience if I studied more.
What really bothers me is that I've always had spurts of creative energy, but I can never see a project through to the end. I will get really excited for a new story idea, or a new hobby, but the passion fizzles out after a few hours. Hard for me to know if that's "normal" laziness/lack of discipline, or if it's some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain.
Both of my brothers have ADHD diagnoses now so it's making me wonder if I should get checked out too.
It's wrecked havoc on my life. I hate it so much.
Nice, 8-9 out of 9 😤 wish me luck ive been having a difficult time at college and im finally going to get tested over Thanksgiving break. The impulsively sucks tbh cuz in your head you say you're going to change how you go about things, but then it just never happens. Told myself this semester would be the one to change and I have online classes that I didn't even touch this semester because I loed to myself and said I can just pick it up in a week, and then never touched it. Then if you're used to taking any recreational substances (been smoking since 14), you relapse about just as quickly as you tell yourself no more, or just when you finally think you're done with it. Youll spend the last of your money on weed or nicotine without even thinking. You go to be around your friends to forget about the stressors in your life, cause you can't seem to focus on the schoolwork, which should be the main reason at school, but then messing around with friends instead of focusing on work just leads you back into the never ending circle. Your also smoke and you get brought back into in cause you're so impulsive that you just say fuck it and wanna have a good time. You love having conversations with friends to grasp an understanding of life, but when conversations are too long or other people interrupt; you get lost in the fog and miss a sentence or two. Then you think about how you missed that one sentence and then next thing you know you missed a few minutes of conversation and you don't even know how to reply to your one friend who is looking dead at you for a response. This is my life :/
Im 8/9, 40yo, & only recently discovered inattentive adhd is why I’ve been struggling my whole life. I can’t even get in the door to been seen by a professional & my life is falling apart. 😣
with my inattentiveness, this 1-minute video is the best but within that 1-minute video, I find myself looking around and doing something else because... I can't focus :(
I left dr grande's 6 minutes video on the same subject to watch this one.
I zone out mid sentence in casual conversation often. Luckily I seem to have a reasonable amount of focus when in a more serious conversation.
this is making me cry sm. i am so so so SO sure i have it. and i wanna get diagnosed so bad but my parents won't take me. i literally have done hours and hours of research and it would all make sense but i just don't know how to tell my parents i think i have it. my dad would just blame it on my phone and my mom would tell my whole family. idk what to do atp im very very confused and frustrated
i relate to everything in this yet i still feel invalid because i’m quiet :/
well, inattentive ADHDers don't have to speak a lot, many people of the inattentive type are rather quiet! for those the hyperactivity shows in the mind, it's a very good indicator if you for example can't shut up your thoughts!
@@emeseviragh9293 what if the hyperactivity don't show in my mind either? I often get distracted with my thoughts and think random stuff but i don't think its ever how other people describe it as if it was a million things at the same time. That's why I'm unsure as to whether I have it or I'm just a really bad procrastinator :/
@@Junior-rz2gx I'm no doctor in the field, you should definitely go to a psychiatrist in this field. but hyperactivity in thoughts can be ranged from sidetracking in your mind from one topic to another, or all of the sudden having another thought and completely forgetting what you were thinking about before. If you have any thoughts that you might have ADHD, try to speak to a professional. And remember, even if you don't have ADHD, that doesn't mean you don't need help!
Um, wow. I'm just finding out about this right now....at 36. 😅🤯
Lol you know you have it when he started talking but you got distracted within 38 secs of the video because there’s no pictures and animation... lol
Is it possible to have all these symptoms, but still not have adhd?
Yes! Everyone experiences those things from time to time, ADHD is when those symptoms are severe and they cause you a lot of distress, and if they cause signinficant trouble functioning in day to day life
ADHD is a spectrum disorder, meaning one person could have these symptoms mildly and learned ways over time to cope with them so it barely impacts their life. Still others could have these symptoms so badly that it greatly impacts their life and need medication and coping skills to function.
Only 1.5 minutes long and I still had to rewind several times. Geez louise, I need to get assessed. 😩
I’m having this all right now in college I missed a quiz and I do my homework at the last minute because I put it off. I forget to do stuff once I start. It’s horrible by grades are fucking up
Past 5 year have bin pure shit and I was pretty much doing one thing most of it...but everything else took a back seat
Yep that’s me, described in a minute.
9 out of 9 - but as I'm in my 40's, I don't fulfil the criteria for assessment.
All of these apply to me 100%. I guess I should get testet...
What are some treatments
8.5/9
I tend to be able to do the things I need to do, regardless of how time consuming they are, but it is a struggle.
When you don't want to self diagnossis but all behaviors are relatable 😀🙈
not me watching this while i'm supposed to be doing homework 👀
I got distracted watching this. Oh the irony!! Remembering to complete a work task I got distracted from, while I am procrastinating.
ADHD subtypes no longer exist they merely now explain certain dominant features of an individuals behaviour struggling but really if you're an adult with ADHD you will struggle with everything over you life span
It took me 3x rewindings to get the info on a 1min and half vid. I will dub my behavior henceforth, "drifting into the curve."
Ps: forgot to do an important chore because I decided to leave a comment.
Can one be a mix of inattentive and impulsive? I am very much relating to these (7 of them) but I also relate to some of the impulsive stuff as well.
Thanks so much for this video... but I have to ask, do people often tell you that you look like Charlottes husband from Sex and the city??
HAHAHAHAH
I literally zoned out during this whole video
I have all 9 of the symptoms
Me too. 30M here.
I have about 8/9 of these symptoms , but I don't.think diagnosis or treatment is available in my country for this particular type , so ig I'm stuck like this forever .
The only one I don't do with any significant frequency is lose important things... Other than that 💯😬
Disgnosed with this last year now 16 bout to do exams 🤦♂️
I’m having trouble finding stuff on this disorder, but absolutely minus the hyperactivity. Could you please do a ADD one ? Thanks. Understandable if too busy
ADD is old term. ADHD inattentive is ADD.
i have all 7 symptoms i payed attention to! :D
tfw I have all 9/9 symptoms both at school and at home since the age of 5
I got distracted like 3 times while I watching this video...
I kept rewinding it lol
That's why I'm in the comment section
Ok. So i just i wanna know if... Your handwritings are consistently good. If not so am I. 😔😞 I'm still anxious about this thing.
Thanks

But able to solve simple math mentally .
I just got diagnosed with this
I want to ask if there's anything helpful about actually getting diagnosed. I know the symptoms and would prefer to manage them without medication. Sometimes it's hard, yes, but I just don't want to become dependent on it.
Oh! That’s what’s wrong with me! I’ve got all 9 of those, but also listen to the same songs daily on a loop! Is that also a symptom? 😅
LOL well that was shockingly accurate
Gurl i literally got diagnosed this today ?? I dont believe it i never woild have expected. I thought i had depression or somethting and the doctor said i have this im done
I have like all 9 symptoms, but I'm not "officially" diagnosed (sorta but not) & i can't afford an assessment. Pervasive Atypical Developmental Disorder yes...
I hope this was a test. Cuz I aced it!
I am too
i won!!! i got em all !!
guess I have to go to the doctor
I have all of these symptoms 😔😔😔😔
still don’t know if I have high functioning autism add or both it’s paining me I don’t know what to do
Ok can someone help me? For my whole life, I’ve gotten straight A’s in school. But in class, I can never focus on anything at all. Even at home every single day, no matter the task, I get distracted and/or totally forget what I’m doing. It’s literally getting out of control. The thing is, my parents don’t think I have adhd because my moms a therapist and she said it’s unlikely because “I get such good grades”, but I’m struggling so much with the basic thing in life and don’t know what to do anymore. Im also terrified of ppl think I’m self diagnosing which I’m really trying not to do. Please help.
My son was just diagnosed at the age of 28. He was the salutatorian of his graduating highschool class.
i breezed thru school easily, and then failed college where everything isnt as strict. i always lose focus on study and gave up on impulses to relaxing and playing. being shy introvert doesnt help also. now im a failure then i realize this problem.
Every website about this I have looked at says different things. I don't do any of the stuff listed here, but on other websites it describes me to a T.
So what the heck?
you know your adhd is bad when you zone out during a 1 minute video
I have all of this sign
is thinking that everything mentioned here are just normal behaviour and everyone has it, means that i do have it?
i seriously think that i’m just exaggerating and everyone on earth also struggle with it.
:(
