@@avoidedmonster4117 I knew someone who while on their phone was almost impossible to get them to refocus on you, in a way that’s clearly different from someone just normally being distracted by their phone and needing to be interrupted to refocus. It was like he went into a trance with that thing tbh it was weird (I don’t think he had ADHD; just seemed to remove himself from the world when using his phone). It wasn’t just me who thought the way he seemed unable to hear you or refocus it on his phone was bizarre. He was just reading texts and memes and stuff like that, nothing major. So if it was something at that level I’d get that as a symptom of something, but if it’s just being super into a movie, something designed to get you hooked and engaged, then that’s different.
My friends without adult onset ADHD be like "stop shitting your pants for no reason" like bro I literally can't focus long enough to walk to the bathroom
i cant believe ryan locked his niece in a room with 7 thousand lotus pods, whilst a projector plays the film holes plays on repeat. Someone's not winning uncle of the year.
Some people seem to have forgotten what the "A" in ADHD stands for. The whole disorder is characterized by an inability to deliberately direct your attention. Either you can't focus on the thing you want to focus on, or you're hyperfocused and can't tear yourself away even when you want/need to. Most people experience some of both from time to time, but unless you're constantly struggling with it, there's no way you have ADHD.
I think it’s just because for awhile (it may still be, I’m not sure) it was “trendy” to have ADHD and so everyone was claiming they had it. I’m pretty sure that may have caused a lot of confusion as to what ADHD actually is.
@@DizzyTrendermen The issue is that as NL pointed out, the "visible symptoms" are something that everyone experiences, to a certain extent. It suffers the same issue kind of as depression, which thankfully has been getting more uniquely identified. Everyone gets sad, but depression is next level chronic sad. Anyways, I think the main issue is social media. There's so many tiktok/Instagram people going "if you do these X things then you have X"
It became trendy because phone addiction triggers those symptoms in people who don't have ADHD, so everyone decided they have ADHD instead of accepting they have a phone addiction
really the main problem of ADHD is profound problems with self-directing. you know you want to get stuff done, but it just slips away, and your brain eats up all the dopamine prematurely so motivating yourself is almost impossible.
I study psychology, if I *had* to diagnose him, and I wouldn't because its insane to diagnose someone over the internet, but if I was forced to at gunpoint, I'd say its way more likely he's autistic than has ADHD based on his dislike of change in plans hes probably just a dude tho
Glad we have so many psychiatrists online giving away free diagnoses; warms my heart to see healthcare heading in the right direction! Tell me you watched Sherlock without telling me you watched Sherlock.

Im tired as hell so who knows if im makin sense Ive got ADHD, I work with people with ADHD in an organisation but the people in the beginning are likely just complaining because thats what twitter is for, I dont doubt they got ADHD but its really not that big of a deal halloween is of all things, costumes give me social anxiety but its not like its like the thoughes day of the year. Second, ADHD or Autism is a spectrum and it is large, it seems like Ryan doesnt know much about it and its fine not to but the chat also straight up gaslighting him isnt helping lmao. He fully could have ADHD but as people that peer into his routine parasocially for like 4 hours we arent qualified plus, his life is FINE he is doing GREAT even if he has it its not affecting his life in a serious manner, getting diagnosed is often a long and hard process that he has 0 benefit from the way he says it. ...well that was a lot idk maybe its the people just misdiagnosing him of off freaking watching a movie that did it for me lol. Well anyway, unhinged rant aside, Happy New year my guys especially you Library!
@@chase-warwick yeh thats pretty correct but medication is definitely not always the answer or signifier like many people think, not saying you do but its a bit of a misconception, ive got clinically diagnosed anxiety and depression however I am not in need of medication, you feel, not saying meds are bad, but they arent for everyone :) Although I will say there are a lot people that dont look for help but should but dont because of things like imposter sindrome or thinking everyone must be going through it so i should just suck it up or feeling undeserving, so yeh mental health and disorders/disability are tricky rope to walk. Anyway just happy someone seems to understand it a bit :)
@@chase-warwick true, but people who succumb to stress over long periods as opposed to their co-worker who's able to regularly recharge might be facing additional stressors due to an undiagnosed mental condition and they just assume it's the same for everyone. These things can have life-altering consequences but the effects can be mitigated by knowing you have it early so that you can learn to structure your day-to-day life and forgive yourself for not having the same mental resources as everyone else. Which is another thing: Not all people with conditions need medication. That's only really when it's absolutely necessary. For most the knowledge that you have it is enough to navigate around it, and perhaps knowing a few coping strategies to get by.
@@chase-warwick "looking for help" and "affecting your life" are very different. It's really easy to be significantly negatively affected by a condition without realising it isn't the norm or can be helped
ADHD is often miss-understood because, as i heard it explained for a professional on the subject, ADD is hard to recognize and understand because it is simply a more active component of existing feelings. Schizophrenia is an syndrome that create non normal reactions while ADD amplifies existing reactions. Dr. Russell Barkley, PhD, the person from who i found this information on also isn't happy with the name. I won't try to miss-quote on what name he liked to use but it wasn't ADD or ADHD ADHD was described by him as a blindness to the future. It's something you always struggle with and no amount of "Just do it" or level of importance will fix that behaviour. These two factors, the fact everyone has these feelings and the fact a person can't "Just do it" is a reason why it's seen as a defense to being lazy and is then used by lazy people which makes the people who actually have it feel worse about it If you think you have it, get a diagnosis on it. No one can diagonse you out of the blue online. Also ADHD isn't going to very much ruin your life. It's going to have a negative effect on school and possibly work and you will sorta have to work around that. One way to deal with ADD is to have feedback. A problem ADD causes is lack of feedback is really bad for the person so making the thing into a game or seeing someone move as you input it, like a video game, solves that. It's why reading a book is hard for those with this because you are getting no instant feedback Again to anyone interested you can google or put in youtube "Dr. Russell Barkley, PhD ADHD" or something like that to find out more information on this where he goes into much more depth
I do use 2 spatulas. I guess it's not so bad if the underside of the meat has really cooked because then at least the spatula shouldn't touch the raw part, but i like to play it safe too. btw no shade on anyone, it does cost me extra time doing dishes which is a downside
my husband and best friend both have ADHD and constantly try to tell me to get tested and I just. I don't have it. I don't get why they think I do. I'm the person who has to keep the schedules and focus on chores getting done since my husband has it (it's bad, and he does alright when medicated, but insurance + pharmacies run out so he'll go without sometimes) like I think it's clear I don't have it, I just have normal human "can't get motivated" sometimes. Its irritating when people just want everyone diagnosed. I don't have Crohn's because I get diarrhea sometimes.
I'm kind of the other way around where I know too many people saying they have it when they never got tested, so if they keep going on about it I ask them to get tested because they are stereotyping it all the time.
@@thaDjMauz it's the stereotyping that really bothers me. I understand not being able to receive an official diagnosis. My partner wants to get officially diagnosed and maybe get medication because her symptoms are really impacting her daily life. But the only people in our area that diagnose ADHD don't take our insurance and the out of pocket for even one appointment is more than we can afford. Like, I get it, an official diagnosis is sometimes a privilege that not everyone has access to but self diagnosing ADHD because you procrastinate sometimes? That's just harmful stereotyping, bro. Come on.
Because of the social stigma around mental health, especially in the southern United States, I have known a large amount of people that I would say with 95% certainty have ADHD. The idea of having it makes them feel weak so they don't even take my advice seriously. ADHD can EASILY ruin your life if you don't understand the proper way to work around it.

@@Enuchful its with a lot of things that people want the status of something, not the thing itself. It happens with disorders like ADHD and autism, but I also know a lot of people that want to be known as DJs but dont actually wanna properly DJ, or people that wanna be known as psychedelic crusaders when they only tripped like twice.
@@thaDjMauz Problem with that is that it's an overused outsider perspective. Most people who have some neurodivergent condition like ADHD or autism or a diagnosed mental illness like anxiety or depression aren't trying to make it "a thing" or wear it like a badge but they do want to talk about their unique challenges, both when people without those conditions would be oblivious to them or when a piece of media has a good or bad portrayal of it. It is genuinely helpful to talk about instances where these things manifest and using specific situations that would be more relatable to people without those conditions - like picking a halloween costume - helps bridge the understanding. But when they do bring those issues up they're often accused of "trying to be special" for no reason and the conversation gets shut down. In my country we call it The Law of Jante and essentially is the embodiment of the collective impulse to tell anyone slightly diverging from the norm to keep their heads down and shut up. It's using the accusation of narcissism to kill any attempts at empathy.
@@gwen9939 I think where I live the pendulum has swung the other way where people seem to almost need a disability label to consider themselves a person, and most of them are not official. And I get it, because it gets you extra sympathy, extra license and makes you more interesting in your circles (like ADHD being a quirk, not a disability) that are all hyper-accepting. What I see as an issue there is that when your problem becomes your identity, sollutions become personal attacks. I have too many people around me, friend groups, that just get together to complain about their shit never actually helping themselves or eachother. We metaphorically call it "my cat is more dead than yours". The way I see it is that we need to be realistic about different neurotypes and together strive for the best in each situation, which is not putting people down for being different or not being different, and allowing people to hopefully find ways of life in which their "worst" sides are not emphasized and their best sides are.
@@thaDjMauz The problem with your line of thinking is that neurodivergent people don't see their differences from neurotypicals as their "worst" side. That's a purely neurotypical perspective. My diagnoses of ADHD and autism doesn't make me worse than you. Personally I think it actually makes me more interesting, intelligent, and fun to be around than most people I've met (this is only my opinion and not a fact. I just have a deep and healthy love of my own existence developed after years of self-hatred). Obviously I don't go around acting superior or telling people I feel this way as I'm not an arrogant person. I am better off for allowing my true personality to be emphasized by surrounding myself with accepting and loving friends and family. Some aspects of that personality are directly influenced by my neurodivergent traits and there's no reason to bother hiding that.
I don’t know who needs to read this but apparently that person exists out there I’m late to this but I have some pretty intense adhd, and I’ve experienced the thing about being overwhelmed from decisions you’d like to make. (I also don’t know if it’s an adhd thing or just a making decisions for yourself thing). Whatever it is, if a decision is really consuming your thought, and it’s something you can’t just pick one option you’re interested in, you can spend teen to twenty minutes engaging your hyper-fixation. Make a list of the options you’re interested in on your phone or wherever and rank them on how much you want to do them. Pick the one you ranked highest if it’s something you can do.
I don’t mind my hyper fixation when it takes over. The attention deficit is the part that kills me. If I’m cleaning the house I do all the chores start/stop style until it’s all done.
NL Vehemently denying he has ADHD, just to cope by describing my autism symptoms, saying he's normal, has me sweating... was i misdiagnosed? cuz I kinda used the diagnosis to put to rest a lot of insecurity and frustration I'd experienced...
i wouldn't stress abt it, smallant's autism diagnosis had him reconsidering his position and was planning on getting an autism screening if the canadian healthcare system wasn't so hard to get anything done in haha
Adhd people struggle with rigid routines so NL is talking about his rigid routines to show that he isnt adhd. It just coincides that having strict routines is an autism trait. Obviously i dont know your life but i dont think you are misdiagnosed just because you and NL both have rigid routines
As a high functioning Adhd household it is more about avoiding responsibility. My brother didnt finish hoghschool, i do not take care of myself but have my MBA and a career at 23, and my dad avoided both of us his whole life
I kinda like it. It's abhorrent, but a certain style of abhorrent similiar to older Mario games. Also probably really good for a platformer since it's really clear what you can and can't step on.
Says his wife would be the one who has adhd because when she adds something to his to-do list, he gets distracted from the current task and does the new task... I think everybody got lost in the sauce of this nonsense lol
You know you have adhd if you start fearing your own executive dysfunction, feel shame around and stop doing things with or for people because you might disappoint them eventhough you really dont want to but literally cant promise it
What in the heck is "adult onset ADHD"? lmao Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain the only "onset" involved is actually being diagnosed after flying under the radar as a kid/teen. Either way relying on anecdotes for diagnosing is just silly. ADHD is complicated and, much like autism, can come across very different in different people in any number of mundane situations.
I think people are misunderstanding the term 'adult ADHD' which is just 'adults with ADHD' or 'ADHD diagnosed in adulthood' for the idea of 'adult onset ADHD' which isn't a thing. ADHD brains are structurally different to non ADHD brains and is evident from birth or early childhood (can be distinguished in special brain scans), but some people don't become 'disabled' by their symptoms until later in life when pressures are too much for coping mechanisms and strategies (e.g. high school, university or the workplace) or their symptoms dismissed or labelled as something else (laziness, depression). The term 'adult ADHD' primarily exists to form community as ADHD was misunderstood to be a childhood disorder for a long time, and most information until recently was made for the parents of ADHD children.
@@enotsnavdier6867 same, I think its because it isnt one thing, its not a single pathology it just has similar "issues" if you are trying to function normally. And the science around it keeps changing; ADD used to be a thing, now its just a subtype of ADHD.
The shit hes saying about his sleep, the hyper focus, and the need for routine/ lack of routine throwing him off are unironically all indicators of ADHD/Autism spectrum lul. ADHD isn't an issue of being unable to focus at all, its the brain lacking the ability to focus on anything that doesn't produce short term rewards and dopamine release. ADHD actually allows for increased hyperfocus, just on the wrong things. The current best understanding is its a failure of dopamine regulation in the brain, causing a failure in the brain's long-term reward system. This is why ADHD and addiction have such high comorbidity. A healthy brain can understand that forgoing short term dopamine release can actually reward it in the long term. Think of animals that would eat unripe fruit unaware of the fact that the ripe fruit will be better in the future. Even if someone with ADHD knows logically that doing things in the present is better their brain produces no dopamine and is averse to the task. This is why routine and planning are the best aids for ADHD, structuring a person's life so that they can rely on their own planning rather than the brain's dopamine reward system.
As a egghead w/ adhd I came to the comments for the person writing an essay so they can make sure they communicate all they mean to. Totally have never done this myself
As someone with ADHD this was why being part of this chat was so funny. Like obviously we don't know if he has ADHD, but half the shit he said to defend himself can be part of ADHD. It just kept going and going lol
10:00 i have adhd and most movies, etc. i watch i do the Discord. i do the scrolling, but if i watch a kdrama, i do nothing and just watch so different levels of stimulation gives you different effects idk
As someone who has it, i dont believe he has it. I do believe however, that he should really consider not just essentially saying "stop displaying the symptoms of your learning disability 4head" every time ADHD is brought up in any stream. I feel like normally hes a little more self-aware as to when hes ignorant about something but the topic of ADHD just seems to be a self-recognitive blindspot for him or something.
I think misinformation about ADHD is a really common thing nowadays, most likely due people like the person on the tweet who attribute absolutely non-ADHD things to their ADHD, alongside people misdiagnosing/over diagnosing themselves, leading to a general confusion about what having ADHD is like. Not to mention the fact that ADHD is just a whole load of symptoms that everybody does at some level, but ADHD does at a level in which it is impacting their ability to function. All of this makes it pretty difficult for someone who doesn't know someone with ADHD or have ADHD themselves to really understand the what ADHD looks like.
Also to add to this, is that ADHD has different ways of manifesting in different people, and even in different genders. Plus some of the most common symptoms are also symptoms of other issues like autism or depression, making it even more difficult to know 100% what ADHD looks like or whether you have it or not. Side note: If you (whomever is reading this) think you might have ADHD, I would recommend talking to a therapist or psychologist, preferably one that has experience working with ADHD. If you do choose to get therapy, go into it with an open mind, you may or may not have ADHD, and the majority of therapy is dealing with the symptoms that you are experiencing, regardless of what diagnosis you may or may not have.
maybe this is dumb but you should add a tiny outro with an audio blip or something. listening to these like a podcast can make the endings kind of jarring

@@idfrigginkman I agree, nothing crazy, more like you'd hear on a podcast or something just a little satisfying noise. I know one of the jerma editors just throws like the 1 second music cue at the end
I am an ADHD guy and I have watched NL pretty consistently for over a decade. All I'll say is that there aren't that many non neurodivergent people that can yap nonstop without ever being boring for like 6 hours a day for said over a decade period. Diagnosing other people online is controversial at best and cringe at worst... but like, my man has ADHD😂 (also, to be pedantic and correct, ADHD, Autism, and dyslexia are genetic so present at birth. You aren't suddenly onset with them)
Sometimes I worry he’s going to get hatefully conservative, especially the talk about what time is objectively the best to go to bed, and the lack of empathy at sleep anxiety
its dangerous to say though because its pretty common for people with depression/anxiety etc to not think they have it 'bad enough' and that they're faking it (even if they have a diagnosis), so we should be careful about saying things like that because it can do a lot of harm. but i do agree, i think changes in societal thinking can often be akin to releasing a rubber band (releasing the idea into public discourse), it goes up and down and eventually finds its resting place - public thinking goes back and forth between spectrums of extremes, and eventually (after decades) the right ideas take hold.
Turns out when you make a disease a spectrum, everybody falls on the spectrum somewhere. So everyone has ADHD, even just a little tiny bit. Which is infuriating if you want a diagnosis to mean something but is super cool if you want to be a lazy piece of shit and blame it on "neurodivergency".
ok ngl this is my problem with mental illnesses. Like what difference does it really have if ryab or anyone has ADHD (if it's mild)? like it's not dangerous, he's a good lad, what's the fucking point lol. like i might have ocd or autism based on some things i've read over many years and stuff and dated a girl with autism and it really just makes no difference whatsoever. in the mild cases it's either just personality traits that i don't think anybody should give a fuck about whatsoever. this is literally twitter behavior leaking into society
@@chase-warwick alright, touché. It still sounds complicated and i admit I'm ignorant but i don't feel quite satisfied with the answer either. thanks anyways haha. my point kinda relates to where my ex with high functioning autism would've gotten extra bullied if she'd gotten put in the special kids class in her primary in the UK and would've actually destroyed her mentally since they naturally got picked on a lot and she got recommended to be there even though her symptoms were only mild.
This is the guy that is known to have trouble relating to mental illness and most always avoids talking about those issues because of it. It's great that there isn't some huge stigma around mental health anymore but you need to recognize that not everyone has to have a label attached to them. He has stated that he doesn't feel particularly distressed from things like this. Obviously everyone feels some level of discomfort from the occasional mental misfirings but what makes something a disorder is that it deeply affects someone's life. Most people are just "normal"
@@ratherdarkcorner1541 Yah I don't disagree with anything you said! To be medically diagnosed with a condition like adhd, one of the criteria is that it is causing a serious and notable disruption to your life, so if its not causing any problems NL has no reason to get checked out! I was mostly just making a goof :) BUT, to speak from my own experience here, until I had learned a bit about adhd, I didn't even UNDERSTAND half of the ways it was making my life difficult and was the culprit the whole time. And the beginning of that education started when I saw people talking about their experiences of it online. I say all this btw, fully in the knowledge that the online adhd community is annoying as hell sometimes lmao. And it's existence as an online trend is heavily fueled by social media algorithms, but.. all the self-diagnosing and self-labelling, it does come from a genuine place of people reaching out for community and support that they don't get irl. People just want to understand themselves, ya know? Christ sorry this comment was long as hell
@@Senjamin Yah I agree! :) The comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but I explicitly didn't say he had a specific condition for this reason. But also, saying someone isn't neurotypical isn't an insult or anything. I may as well have said "this man is NOT a pisces" lmao
*Editors note: to spare the brains of the whiny children babies, who prob still won’t do shit w/ it, i’ve simplified this: This man does not have this. Hyperfocus by itself does not = ADHD. The sort of hyperfocus it tends to be is hyperfixating on things that r ridiculously trivial or mundane at the cost of things like eating or sleeping etc. where u will even do it for 5-6 hrs straight w/out interruption. It’s diagnosed based off observations that extend beyond microbehaviors, like big life stuff. It should go w/out saying, but u actually can just stop reading whenever. If you think that u can never say ppl have this when u rn’t an expert, then there’s certainly no resp for u to rd all. So i’ll hide it down @ the bottom so that it doesn’t offend thine eyes. In addition to the macrobehavior, u often struggle w/ frequent miscommunication & don’t have or can’t maintain meaningful relationships, u r socially unaware, u r easily intimidated by important tasks, & thus unable 2 hold jobs for that long. Often referred to as being lazy, among other things. I get the impression that someone will see they hve a really bad prob w/ 1 or 2 things on the list, & go on to imagine having the other things in order to fulfill the idea they have it. On an unrelated note: i'll believe ur time is valuable when u don't abuse in order 2 write out insults that fulfil no purpose at all. But do what u gotta do. I can't claim to know what ur going thru.
@@chase-warwick It's exhausting. At 1st, social media did help w/ awareness. But it's overcorrected & every1 thinks they have everything, making it even less legitimate 4 med profs. On another note, i think i've spotted them. The only time ppl get nasty w/ my comments is when i've hit a nerve.
this isn't the first time NL has made me really uncomfortable with his mental health takes, especially since as far as we know he's completely nuerotypical
This whole mental health thing has gotten out of hand. I was properly diagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid, I cope with it by working out, having a routine and just general discipline. I know people who do and don’t have ADHD who don’t do anything of these things and they wonder why they can’t get shit done. NL is just keepin it real.
Brother, a desire for routine is not OCD that's just part of being human. He has clearly stated that he feels no sort of serious distress from these kinds of things
ocd is obsessive compulsive disorder. formed habits and teneency for organization aren't a disorder.. thats ignoring what "disorder" means. this is a lexical problem - people use descriptions of extreme forms of behaviour to describe milder variants of those same behaviours thus making the term inapplicable to its original context.

Some people seem to have forgotten what the "A" in ADHD stands for. The whole disorder is characterized by an inability to deliberately direct your attention. Either you can't focus on the thing you want to focus on, or you're hyperfocused and can't tear yourself away even when you want/need to. Most people experience some of both from time to time, but unless you're constantly struggling with it, there's no way you have ADHD.
I think it’s just because for awhile (it may still be, I’m not sure) it was “trendy” to have ADHD and so everyone was claiming they had it. I’m pretty sure that may have caused a lot of confusion as to what ADHD actually is.

Well anyway, unhinged rant aside, Happy New year my guys especially you Library!
@@chase-warwick yeh thats pretty correct but medication is definitely not always the answer or signifier like many people think, not saying you do but its a bit of a misconception, ive got clinically diagnosed anxiety and depression however I am not in need of medication, you feel, not saying meds are bad, but they arent for everyone :)
Although I will say there are a lot people that dont look for help but should but dont because of things like imposter sindrome or thinking everyone must be going through it so i should just suck it up or feeling undeserving, so yeh mental health and disorders/disability are tricky rope to walk.
Anyway just happy someone seems to understand it a bit :)
@@chase-warwick true, but people who succumb to stress over long periods as opposed to their co-worker who's able to regularly recharge might be facing additional stressors due to an undiagnosed mental condition and they just assume it's the same for everyone. These things can have life-altering consequences but the effects can be mitigated by knowing you have it early so that you can learn to structure your day-to-day life and forgive yourself for not having the same mental resources as everyone else. Which is another thing: Not all people with conditions need medication. That's only really when it's absolutely necessary. For most the knowledge that you have it is enough to navigate around it, and perhaps knowing a few coping strategies to get by.
@@chase-warwick "looking for help" and "affecting your life" are very different. It's really easy to be significantly negatively affected by a condition without realising it isn't the norm or can be helped

ADHD is often miss-understood because, as i heard it explained for a professional on the subject, ADD is hard to recognize and understand because it is simply a more active component of existing feelings. Schizophrenia is an syndrome that create non normal reactions while ADD amplifies existing reactions. Dr. Russell Barkley, PhD, the person from who i found this information on also isn't happy with the name. I won't try to miss-quote on what name he liked to use but it wasn't ADD or ADHD
ADHD was described by him as a blindness to the future. It's something you always struggle with and no amount of "Just do it" or level of importance will fix that behaviour. These two factors, the fact everyone has these feelings and the fact a person can't "Just do it" is a reason why it's seen as a defense to being lazy and is then used by lazy people which makes the people who actually have it feel worse about it
If you think you have it, get a diagnosis on it. No one can diagonse you out of the blue online. Also ADHD isn't going to very much ruin your life. It's going to have a negative effect on school and possibly work and you will sorta have to work around that. One way to deal with ADD is to have feedback. A problem ADD causes is lack of feedback is really bad for the person so making the thing into a game or seeing someone move as you input it, like a video game, solves that. It's why reading a book is hard for those with this because you are getting no instant feedback
Again to anyone interested you can google or put in youtube "Dr. Russell Barkley, PhD ADHD" or something like that to find out more information on this where he goes into much more depth

my husband and best friend both have ADHD and constantly try to tell me to get tested and I just. I don't have it. I don't get why they think I do. I'm the person who has to keep the schedules and focus on chores getting done since my husband has it (it's bad, and he does alright when medicated, but insurance + pharmacies run out so he'll go without sometimes) like I think it's clear I don't have it, I just have normal human "can't get motivated" sometimes. Its irritating when people just want everyone diagnosed. I don't have Crohn's because I get diarrhea sometimes.
I'm kind of the other way around where I know too many people saying they have it when they never got tested, so if they keep going on about it I ask them to get tested because they are stereotyping it all the time.
@@thaDjMauz it's the stereotyping that really bothers me. I understand not being able to receive an official diagnosis. My partner wants to get officially diagnosed and maybe get medication because her symptoms are really impacting her daily life. But the only people in our area that diagnose ADHD don't take our insurance and the out of pocket for even one appointment is more than we can afford.
Like, I get it, an official diagnosis is sometimes a privilege that not everyone has access to but self diagnosing ADHD because you procrastinate sometimes? That's just harmful stereotyping, bro. Come on.
Because of the social stigma around mental health, especially in the southern United States, I have known a large amount of people that I would say with 95% certainty have ADHD. The idea of having it makes them feel weak so they don't even take my advice seriously. ADHD can EASILY ruin your life if you don't understand the proper way to work around it.

Generally it's people who claim to speak for "the community" at large, or try to turn it into identity politics, that get on others' nerves.
@@Enuchful its with a lot of things that people want the status of something, not the thing itself. It happens with disorders like ADHD and autism, but I also know a lot of people that want to be known as DJs but dont actually wanna properly DJ, or people that wanna be known as psychedelic crusaders when they only tripped like twice.
@@thaDjMauz Problem with that is that it's an overused outsider perspective. Most people who have some neurodivergent condition like ADHD or autism or a diagnosed mental illness like anxiety or depression aren't trying to make it "a thing" or wear it like a badge but they do want to talk about their unique challenges, both when people without those conditions would be oblivious to them or when a piece of media has a good or bad portrayal of it. It is genuinely helpful to talk about instances where these things manifest and using specific situations that would be more relatable to people without those conditions - like picking a halloween costume - helps bridge the understanding. But when they do bring those issues up they're often accused of "trying to be special" for no reason and the conversation gets shut down. In my country we call it The Law of Jante and essentially is the embodiment of the collective impulse to tell anyone slightly diverging from the norm to keep their heads down and shut up. It's using the accusation of narcissism to kill any attempts at empathy.
@@gwen9939 I think where I live the pendulum has swung the other way where people seem to almost need a disability label to consider themselves a person, and most of them are not official. And I get it, because it gets you extra sympathy, extra license and makes you more interesting in your circles (like ADHD being a quirk, not a disability) that are all hyper-accepting. What I see as an issue there is that when your problem becomes your identity, sollutions become personal attacks. I have too many people around me, friend groups, that just get together to complain about their shit never actually helping themselves or eachother. We metaphorically call it "my cat is more dead than yours".
The way I see it is that we need to be realistic about different neurotypes and together strive for the best in each situation, which is not putting people down for being different or not being different, and allowing people to hopefully find ways of life in which their "worst" sides are not emphasized and their best sides are.
@@thaDjMauz The problem with your line of thinking is that neurodivergent people don't see their differences from neurotypicals as their "worst" side. That's a purely neurotypical perspective. My diagnoses of ADHD and autism doesn't make me worse than you. Personally I think it actually makes me more interesting, intelligent, and fun to be around than most people I've met (this is only my opinion and not a fact. I just have a deep and healthy love of my own existence developed after years of self-hatred). Obviously I don't go around acting superior or telling people I feel this way as I'm not an arrogant person.
I am better off for allowing my true personality to be emphasized by surrounding myself with accepting and loving friends and family. Some aspects of that personality are directly influenced by my neurodivergent traits and there's no reason to bother hiding that.
NL def watches movies with the subtitles on
I don’t know who needs to read this but apparently that person exists out there
I’m late to this but I have some pretty intense adhd, and I’ve experienced the thing about being overwhelmed from decisions you’d like to make. (I also don’t know if it’s an adhd thing or just a making decisions for yourself thing).
Whatever it is, if a decision is really consuming your thought, and it’s something you can’t just pick one option you’re interested in, you can spend teen to twenty minutes engaging your hyper-fixation. Make a list of the options you’re interested in on your phone or wherever and rank them on how much you want to do them. Pick the one you ranked highest if it’s something you can do.
I don’t mind my hyper fixation when it takes over.
The attention deficit is the part that kills me. If I’m cleaning the house I do all the chores start/stop style until it’s all done.
NL Vehemently denying he has ADHD, just to cope by describing my autism symptoms, saying he's normal, has me sweating... was i misdiagnosed? cuz I kinda used the diagnosis to put to rest a lot of insecurity and frustration I'd experienced...
i wouldn't stress abt it, smallant's autism diagnosis had him reconsidering his position and was planning on getting an autism screening if the canadian healthcare system wasn't so hard to get anything done in haha
Adhd people struggle with rigid routines so NL is talking about his rigid routines to show that he isnt adhd. It just coincides that having strict routines is an autism trait. Obviously i dont know your life but i dont think you are misdiagnosed just because you and NL both have rigid routines

What in the heck is "adult onset ADHD"? lmao
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain the only "onset" involved is actually being diagnosed after flying under the radar as a kid/teen. Either way relying on anecdotes for diagnosing is just silly. ADHD is complicated and, much like autism, can come across very different in different people in any number of mundane situations.
I think people are misunderstanding the term 'adult ADHD' which is just 'adults with ADHD' or 'ADHD diagnosed in adulthood' for the idea of 'adult onset ADHD' which isn't a thing. ADHD brains are structurally different to non ADHD brains and is evident from birth or early childhood (can be distinguished in special brain scans), but some people don't become 'disabled' by their symptoms until later in life when pressures are too much for coping mechanisms and strategies (e.g. high school, university or the workplace) or their symptoms dismissed or labelled as something else (laziness, depression).
The term 'adult ADHD' primarily exists to form community as ADHD was misunderstood to be a childhood disorder for a long time, and most information until recently was made for the parents of ADHD children.

I was diagnosed with Adhd like a decade ago, and I don't really know what it is tbh
@@enotsnavdier6867 same, I think its because it isnt one thing, its not a single pathology it just has similar "issues" if you are trying to function normally. And the science around it keeps changing; ADD used to be a thing, now its just a subtype of ADHD.
@Momo It also feels like it's super over-diagnosed in my admittedly limited experience. Like, every guy I was friends with as a kid had Adhd.
@@enotsnavdier6867 i guess it depends on your location. Where I am it is over-self-diagnosed but the actual real diagnosis is not super common
The shit hes saying about his sleep, the hyper focus, and the need for routine/ lack of routine throwing him off are unironically all indicators of ADHD/Autism spectrum lul. ADHD isn't an issue of being unable to focus at all, its the brain lacking the ability to focus on anything that doesn't produce short term rewards and dopamine release.
ADHD actually allows for increased hyperfocus, just on the wrong things.
The current best understanding is its a failure of dopamine regulation in the brain, causing a failure in the brain's long-term reward system. This is why ADHD and addiction have such high comorbidity. A healthy brain can understand that forgoing short term dopamine release can actually reward it in the long term. Think of animals that would eat unripe fruit unaware of the fact that the ripe fruit will be better in the future.
Even if someone with ADHD knows logically that doing things in the present is better their brain produces no dopamine and is averse to the task.
This is why routine and planning are the best aids for ADHD, structuring a person's life so that they can rely on their own planning rather than the brain's dopamine reward system.
i obviously cant diagnose NL but man, whenever i watch him im like "this dude almost definitely has ADHD"
You're both making so much sense
As a egghead w/ adhd I came to the comments for the person writing an essay so they can make sure they communicate all they mean to. Totally have never done this myself

this makes me want to catch a stream of his and ask why he's bald until he sees it, because he deserves that annoyance for these takes
After seeing him fail and then quit Dredge. He 100% has ADHD.
As someone who has it, i dont believe he has it.
I do believe however, that he should really consider not just essentially saying "stop displaying the symptoms of your learning disability 4head" every time ADHD is brought up in any stream.
I feel like normally hes a little more self-aware as to when hes ignorant about something but the topic of ADHD just seems to be a self-recognitive blindspot for him or something.
I think misinformation about ADHD is a really common thing nowadays, most likely due people like the person on the tweet who attribute absolutely non-ADHD things to their ADHD, alongside people misdiagnosing/over diagnosing themselves, leading to a general confusion about what having ADHD is like. Not to mention the fact that ADHD is just a whole load of symptoms that everybody does at some level, but ADHD does at a level in which it is impacting their ability to function.
All of this makes it pretty difficult for someone who doesn't know someone with ADHD or have ADHD themselves to really understand the what ADHD looks like.
Also to add to this, is that ADHD has different ways of manifesting in different people, and even in different genders.
Plus some of the most common symptoms are also symptoms of other issues like autism or depression, making it even more difficult to know 100% what ADHD looks like or whether you have it or not.
Side note: If you (whomever is reading this) think you might have ADHD, I would recommend talking to a therapist or psychologist, preferably one that has experience working with ADHD. If you do choose to get therapy, go into it with an open mind, you may or may not have ADHD, and the majority of therapy is dealing with the symptoms that you are experiencing, regardless of what diagnosis you may or may not have.

Sometimes I worry he’s going to get hatefully conservative, especially the talk about what time is objectively the best to go to bed, and the lack of empathy at sleep anxiety
As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, way too many people say they have it but they are actually just lazy
its dangerous to say though because its pretty common for people with depression/anxiety etc to not think they have it 'bad enough' and that they're faking it (even if they have a diagnosis), so we should be careful about saying things like that because it can do a lot of harm.
but i do agree, i think changes in societal thinking can often be akin to releasing a rubber band (releasing the idea into public discourse), it goes up and down and eventually finds its resting place - public thinking goes back and forth between spectrums of extremes, and eventually (after decades) the right ideas take hold.
Same but I could 100% see NL having it lol we seem to attract each other
Turns out when you make a disease a spectrum, everybody falls on the spectrum somewhere. So everyone has ADHD, even just a little tiny bit.
Which is infuriating if you want a diagnosis to mean something but is super cool if you want to be a lazy piece of shit and blame it on "neurodivergency".

@@chase-warwick alright, touché. It still sounds complicated and i admit I'm ignorant but i don't feel quite satisfied with the answer either. thanks anyways haha.
my point kinda relates to where my ex with high functioning autism would've gotten extra bullied if she'd gotten put in the special kids class in her primary in the UK and would've actually destroyed her mentally since they naturally got picked on a lot and she got recommended to be there even though her symptoms were only mild.
Look... I am neither a psychiatrist, nor a medical professional of any kind... but this man is NOT neurotypical.
This is the guy that is known to have trouble relating to mental illness and most always avoids talking about those issues because of it. It's great that there isn't some huge stigma around mental health anymore but you need to recognize that not everyone has to have a label attached to them. He has stated that he doesn't feel particularly distressed from things like this. Obviously everyone feels some level of discomfort from the occasional mental misfirings but what makes something a disorder is that it deeply affects someone's life. Most people are just "normal"
@@ratherdarkcorner1541 Yah I don't disagree with anything you said!
To be medically diagnosed with a condition like adhd, one of the criteria is that it is causing a serious and notable disruption to your life, so if its not causing any problems NL has no reason to get checked out! I was mostly just making a goof :)
BUT, to speak from my own experience here, until I had learned a bit about adhd, I didn't even UNDERSTAND half of the ways it was making my life difficult and was the culprit the whole time. And the beginning of that education started when I saw people talking about their experiences of it online.
I say all this btw, fully in the knowledge that the online adhd community is annoying as hell sometimes lmao. And it's existence as an online trend is heavily fueled by social media algorithms, but.. all the self-diagnosing and self-labelling, it does come from a genuine place of people reaching out for community and support that they don't get irl.

*Editors note: to spare the brains of the whiny children babies, who prob still won’t do shit w/ it, i’ve simplified this:
This man does not have this.
Hyperfocus by itself does not = ADHD. The sort of hyperfocus it tends to be is hyperfixating on things that r ridiculously trivial or mundane at the cost of things like eating or sleeping etc. where u will even do it for 5-6 hrs straight w/out interruption.
It’s diagnosed based off observations that extend beyond microbehaviors, like big life stuff.
It should go w/out saying, but u actually can just stop reading whenever. If you think that u can never say ppl have this when u rn’t an expert, then there’s certainly no resp for u to rd all. So i’ll hide it down @ the bottom so that it doesn’t offend thine eyes.
In addition to the macrobehavior, u often struggle w/ frequent miscommunication & don’t have or can’t maintain meaningful relationships, u r socially unaware, u r easily intimidated by important tasks, & thus unable 2 hold jobs for that long. Often referred to as being lazy, among other things.
I get the impression that someone will see they hve a really bad prob w/ 1 or 2 things on the list, & go on to imagine having the other things in order to fulfill the idea they have it.
On an unrelated note: i'll believe ur time is valuable when u don't abuse in order 2 write out insults that fulfil no purpose at all. But do what u gotta do. I can't claim to know what ur going thru.
