"Do you ever struggle with procrastination?"
Me: No, I'm very good at it

[ErutaniaRose]

As someone who is ADHD and didn’t get diagnosed till HS, I find it literally insane how people would rather blame a child and punish them instead of just….checking if something is different or wrong. Would have saved me a lot of trauma.

The German word for "hidden statistics" is "Dunkelziffer", which literally translates to "numbers in the dark", and that's both sad and beautiful.

[demonspawn]

I distinctly remember being in grade 2 and being tested on my times tables by my teacher.

She showed me a flash card that had "3x4=?" written on it, I answered 12, she said I was correct and asked me how I worked it out. I told her and we moved on.

Two cards later, she held up "4x3=?" and I answered 12 again. She again said I was correct and asked me how I worked it out.

Apparently, "Well it's the same as 3x4, but the numbers are the other way around", was NOT the answer she was looking for and she put down on her sheet that I got it wrong.

She instead wanted me to "independently work it out in my head" instead of recognising that I already know the answer because all the numbers were the same.

ADHD is listening to someone, then halfway through them talking realizing you don’t remember what they just said to you, trying to go back in your memory to find what they told you, then realizing you aren’t listening again. It honestly sucks. As someone who likes meeting people, it can feel like my brain is incompatible with the world and the people around me.

“ADHD is like your mind yelling at you to do something, and your body just sits there like 😐”

This is very relatable

[stickywiggit]

To the comment about older people learning how to work with their ADHD. I'm 41 and got diagnosed at 40 (fun fun). Last weekend, all I had to do was go to the grocery store. That was it. That was literally the only task I had. Brain said no. But sometimes with ADHD you can trick your brain into doing the task by doing OTHER tasks and then just sliding into the task you need to do while you're in "work mode." Bearing this in mind, I vacuumed, dusted, cleaned the bathroom floor, wiped all the mirrors down, made placemats for the table, and worked on a woodcarving because every time I even THOUGHT about going to the store my brain would start to shut down. My husband came home and was like "did you go to the store?" and I had to be like "no, but the house is spotless and we have new placemats" and seriously this is the stupidest disorder on the planet.

ADHD is re-watching the same videos multiple times because
1- you definitely missed some stuff the first (8) time(s) you watched it
2- you don't get anxiety about missing important things when re-watching something you've seen before
3- you need constant background noise and it has to be interesting enough to not be distractingly boring but also boring enough to not be distractingly interesting

[CrystalBrightz]

I remember staying after school in first grade, crying over my unfinished Math homework because I didn't understand subtraction. My teacher had always referred to subtraction as "take away, " and the assignments specifically said, "minus." It took THE JANITOR sweeping the room to help me connect the dots that "minus" and "take away" were the same thing. Shout-out to that kind custodian, who saw a distressed child and took the time to help her make sense of it all. 🖤

I'm autistic, and what keeps me from managing myself is literally that two specific people existing where I need to go makes me crawl into my room and pretend I don't exist.
Literally as soon as I am left alone I suddenly am an incredibly well functioning, responsible adult.

[drtaverner]

As a kid they put me on Ritalin, sent me to occupational therapy, psych assessments, etc...

Almost 40 years later I'm going through old records and discover that my mom _knew_ I had ADD/H (now called ADHD) and a bunch of stuff that's now criteria for Autism, but never _actually told me!_

She let me go out into the world completely ignorant that I had all of these conditions that could have been managed. My life could have been _very_ different and I'm salty about it.

[sorenolaf]

as a person with ADD, its like having an old radio in your head. you can find the thoughts but most of it is static and its easy to accidentaly lose them and there almost never clear and hard to hear.

[NyssaThomassen]

That feeling of ADHD annoyance when you finish a thing you've been hyperfocusing on, but you still have a ton of hyperfocus left, only now it has nowhere to go, so it quickly eats at your soul until you hate the thing you finished and feel no sense of accomplishment whatsoever, only a sense of resentment that it didn't take just 30 minutes longer...

[shadowkittycat]

That less common adhd where you actually really liked learning so you didnt show the typical symptoms in class. Instead you were called 'intelligent and mature' and only had 1 or 2 friends who are exactly like you so no one realized they were infodumping at someone, and the only reason it was ever noticed is because you start counseling because you get panic attacks and your therapist mentions it after exactly 2 sessions but because youre an adult now they dont bother putting you on meds, and now you have to physically hold yourself back from interrupting people constantly at work because you had a thought and youre not going to remember it by the time they stop

Tldr: I was really good in school so no one noticed my adhd symptoms until my therapist when I was an adult, and by that point she didn't bother.

[Steamedmeeps]

“Hey do you know how to do (puzzle)?”
Yeah, so first you flick this lever -
*Two hours later*
And that’s how you cook a steak.

[yugimumoto]

What I find interesting as someone who has ADHD, is that with it there is more to it than just inattention. It was eye opening knowing that the reason I'm so emotional is because of ADHD making my emotions much more powerful and harder to deal with.

[Nigolasy]

14:39 Ok but imagine going to your doctor and telling him: "Soo, you know how people sometimes do drugs..? And you aren't allowed to tell the police if someone tould you, right..? - Yeah.. so I tried adderall last week on a party and while everyone else around me got super hyper and had lots of fun, I kinda just sat there and had my head empty for the first time. Would you mind testing me for ADHD?"
That honestly sounds like such a funny appointment :D

[lordfreerealestate]

"Just try harder", "stop using it as an excuse" and "just push through" are common ableist statements. For ADHD but her other disabilities, too. The worst part is if you hear it enough, you start to internalize it. I have autism, PTSD, and physical disabilities. I'm not lazy, I'm not irresponsible - I'm disabled. Once I accepted that, I opened the path to getting well and having the best life I can.

[ChampionMarx]

As a person with ADHD before watching this I must say my body is so ready to feel called out on all my shit for the next 50 mins

[Archivst-bdlp]

“Hmm, I’m bored”

“I have work that needs to be done”

*proceeds to not do work*
