Dude's a better psychologist than most psychologists.

I'm 44, a mental health therapist, AND I have both ADHD and bipolar disorder. I have been shamed my whole life for the semi-organized chaos that I live in. The way that you approached this with such wonderful empathy and humor was, no lie, healing for me. I regret that I have only one account to subscribe with. You are truly a special person. Thank you!

Honestly, hearing someone talk so respectfully about ADHD mess makes me genuinely emotional. I'm not used to seeing people like me being treated so kindly. It's either judgement or pity. Never just "here's how things are and how we're working with it".

Neurodivergent folks helping out other neurodivergent folks. Just like we always have. Love it.

I started crying after you acknowledged that for people with ADHD even receiving help with things like cleaning or organizing can feel like the people in your life belittling you or looking at you as bad because you can’t take care of it yourself. This is my daily reality, I wake up everyday wanting to clean my house and have everything organized, but feeling like it’s useless because it’s just going to become a mess again. Then the paralysis starts and it feels like you’re suffocating just looking at it all and it’s going to swallow you whole… it’s getting better, learning to take care of what’s right in front of me instead of everything that needs to be done, but sometimes that doesn’t make me feel like any less of a failure for not getting it all done. Thanks for the video, it’s inspiring.

OMG! ADHD moment. When my son was in highschool, his room was a disaster area. I challenged him and said to him that I bet he didn't even know where {a thing, I think it was a moose} was. He was lying on his bed, and without even breaking eye contact with me calmly reached under his bed, grabbed the thing and handed it to me. I never complained about his room again 😅😂🤣. He's awesome by the way. ❤

I’m married to an ADHD person. Years ago I created “Brad boxes” in all the rooms. 2 in the kitchen. So when I’m cleaning I can throw his stuff in the Brad Boxes. It didn’t take long for him to learn to look in those boxes first for any stuff he needs. Saves me time and saves me from constantly telling him where stuff is. Then if company comes by I can move the boxes into an unused room.

My wife has autism and I have ADHD. I’m not joking when I say I cried watching this video. Feeling seen and validated in the difficulties of having an organized house.

God, seeing "rage" acknowledged as a common symptom of ADHD is so validating, thank you. People talk about ADHD like it's just "easily distracted and hyper" when it so often looks like "emotional rollercoaster with your seatbelt stuck on." EDIT: Thank you to all the replies attempting to educate, even though some people online are always gonna think they know better than the OP's (in this case me) knowledge of their own medical history, therapy history, psychiatric assessments, and the wealth of literature on ADHD as a spectrum disorder that manifests differently for different people.

“Candy wrapper, broken box, your mom…” I almost spit my coffee out

As someone with ADHD the thought of someone else cleaning my house is a horror story. You guys would be hired in a minute. I love the understanding that is being shown. No judgement and a massive dose of humor. Thank you for being you.

When my oldest son was born, my mother-in-law arrived before we even came home from the hospital & was there for 2 weeks to "help" (insert eyeroll here). She ended up completely "reorganizing" my kitchen... I couldn't find ANYTHING! A couple of weeks after she left, my mom came out to visit & meet her first grandchild (she wanted to give us space to settle in before she came to see us). One night when I got up to nurse the baby, I saw a light on downstairs & found my mom sitting on the floor in the kitchen putting everything back where it belonged! She understood my "system" & recognized my frustration with what the MIL had done. That was the sweetest thing to me ❤. Having ADHD, I've always struggled to organize & declutter. I've made a lot of progress in recent years, but I definitely have to stay on top of things to keep it from becoming overwhelming.

For the first time in my life I feel like someone understands me.

whoever started the idea that autistic people don't have a sense of humor clearly doesn't understand dry humor. this was by far one of the funniest videos i've watched in a while.

Your understanding of how distressing moving someone with adhd’s stuff can be is so refreshing. When I was younger before I was diagnosed, my parents would often clean my room when I wasn’t there bc it was always a disaster, but I would come home and cry at the sight bc no longer knowing where anything is was so overwhelming and upsetting. (Thankfully they’re super understanding now). I just want to thank you for your understanding and compassion

A lot of us ADHDers are verbal processors. We also struggle a lot with shame. So what you could do to make it feel less like an invasion or insult, is ask them to tell you how they use their space. Like “tell me about this cabinet.” Because we might have a really specific reason why we have something set up a certain way, like so we don’t forget, so all of the things for a specific task are all together, etc. The thoughts shoot around inside of our heads so fast we have trouble organizing them. Half the time of you give us the space to talk about it, with curiosity instead of judgement, and just listen, we will figure out for ourselves what we need to do. Or give us some different options of solutions you have seen before and talk through them. This also applies to throwing things out. Just ask us about the objects and how we feel about them, how we use them, what the problems and sticking point are. Help US make the decision instead of making the decision for us.

I really appreciate that you don't just see the clutter, but the humans behind it. Respecting people the way they are is something we need a lot more of in this world. Thanks for spreading the word, man!

"If your friend comes over with depression, you wouldnt yell at them for being depressed. And, if you do, they're the one that needs to find a new friend, not you." Beautiful!! Love how stern that line was delivered.

THANK YOU for mentioning that ADHD folks like myself have trouble with a form of object permanence. If I don't see a thing I had and nobody can tell me where it's gone, my immediate assumption is that it was tossed out, and I start freaking tf out bc "wth dude that was mine why'd you throw it away :(" Especially since growing up, my siblings and I had trouble keeping our room clean. So one of the means my parents frequently used on us was literally just throwing away everything left on the floor. If it was on the floor, it was trash to them, be it a Christmas gift, or candy wrapper! That definitely left me with ✨️Issues✨️ when it comes to other people having access to my stuff, but that's just kinda what having ADHD was like during a time when it wasn't super well-understood. And by "a time when it wasn't well understood" I mean like, around 20 years ago. Seriously, it is SO IMPORTANT to respect people and their belongings, and you're awesome for that!!

It's so refreshing to hear a man acknowledge the importance of 'making it pretty'!

The out of sight out of mind thing is absolutely spot on. - Adult with ADHD

This should be required viewing by all psychiatrists, psychologists, teachers, and parents, oh, and other cleaners of course!

to be honest, i did not expect this level of compassion/understanding of neurodivergence and lighthearted comedy from someone with this voice xD

Organization for ADHD “point of use” will be the winner catch phrase. Coffee pot- filters, coffee scoops cups and flavor syrups need to be around where the coffee pot is. I like raised shelves for the kitchen and bathroom so things can go over or under the central focal item or use for said items. It’s typical how you organize but it’s still in sight for neurodivergent brains 👍

Coming from a kid who didn't know she had ADHD and had to grow up through the names of being "lazy," "messy,” a "hoarder," thank you for doing this. It's very justifying and makes me feel like a human, and seen!! Thank you thank you thank you

1:07 I respect you. It is not laziness It is not immaturity We are only going throw away real garbage. Thank you for respecting them.

This is the most unbelievably respectful cleaning video for a neurodivergent person I have ever seen. No wonder none of the methods I’ve seen or tried have been working for me and have been distressing. Thank you so much for sharing

I found what helped me a lot was someone being very gentle but firm with me when it came to decluttering. They would pull all my stuff into organized piles and then I would sit on the bed, they would hold it up and say “keep or donate?” And if I got stuck than for the time being it was a keep. No pressure to part with something if I wasn’t ready but once you’re in the groove and having fun with it you start parting with things much more easily and then we would have fun coming up with new ways to organize everything again once we had sorted through it all. Obviously need tons of snacks and music and 5 minute breaks in this process!

As a person who has ADHD the "items become decorations" is huge for me! I've actually gotten into the habit of finding decorative bottles and trays to put my day to day things in so that it's still visually attractive (for example my spices and teas all have to be out but I'm working on making them look like apothecary bottles)

I just wanted to tell you that after only two minutes into the video, I was already getting emotional. I have the worst ADHD and I am also a type A personality. I'm a perfectionist but because it takes caffeine for me to be productive and I don't drink it often because it affects my heart, I live with a messy house. I hate it and avoid it and am ashamed of it. It's weird, because I'm actually amazing at organizing and love to do it for other people and on my jobs. I just get overwhelmed and distracted in my own house. You really would think that I'm a hoarder but I'm not. Your approach and sensitivity to this destructive and very disruptive disability is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this video so other people can understand! ❤ I actually clicked on your video because I'm getting ready to clean my house and was procrastinating as long as possible before having to do it. You've really touched my heart because I don't hate myself as much knowing that other people struggle with these same issues! God bless you and God bless your business!❤

I was a late in life ADHD diagnosis, and I am ready to cry right now with how much I feel SEEN and understood and not judged. The piles, the clutter, the floordrobe… it’s so overwhelming. And with a spouse who is “all or nothing” with cleaning (ignores the chaos for months, and then decides to bulldoze through it and throw out anything he doesn’t think looks important), my depression/anxiety/panic over the issue just paralyzes me. I cannot thank you enough for your understanding and compassion!!

I am just speechless. You have explained my ADHD symptoms so thoroughly and completely, I have never felt more seen. Thank you so much for your compassion. ADHD is so misunderstood and it pains me when I hear people that definitely do NOT have ADHD say things like "oh, my ADHD is kicking in" and then laugh and go on about their day. ADHD makes my life so much harder than it has to be and it feels lonely sometimes because most people just don't understand. Thank you for this video, I never knew that a cleaning video could make me so emotional yet here we are. 😂❤

I wasn't expecting quality dry humor in an accurate how-to video for ADHD-friendly organization, but it was a pleasant and welcome surprise

My ADHD mind was calmed by your compassionate comments.

I don't know which AI algorithm decided I needed to see this but it was amazing to hear you speak about your ways of cleaning any household but especially this one. Thank you!

Whoever is the boss, owner of this cleaning service - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A GREAT HUMAN!

This was my house four months ago. In November I was diagnosed with adhd at 37 years old. With medication and dedication every day I have finally sorted through a lifetime of my belongings. Decluttering, organizing, finally coming to terms with who I am and not who I thought I was. There is so much shame tied up in this type of mess, that's why adhd people get so defensive. "Why can't I just keep on top of things? Why is everything so hard to manage? Why am I so lazy?" It feels insurmountable. Thank you for this. I hope someone watching sees themselves in this and starts the process to diagnosis. You're not lazy. There's a reason you're this way and you don't have to feel shame about it. And there are ways to learn how to deal with it.

I live in an ADHD household, and I also keep my ninja weapons on the counter, my brother tried to put the moose on the counter today and I had to explain to him that the moose will become too confident and attempt to overthrow the household. It’s just too risky

I really appreciate this, I've been subject to roommates cleaning my home without permission and disappearing my things and I had to search through boxes to find things, or have to figure out their means of organization to find 'organized' things. To see you respect their ADHD like this made me feel seen.

I hate it when my wolves and mooses get out of hand. This is GREAT and I love how respectful you both are! I've spent my whole life fighting my cluttering tendencies but it's a neverending task. You folks rock!

"I spend up to $3k on these cleans, i don't care, i just want that gold plaque for 1M subscribers" - refreshing attitude and honesty!!

Your empathy for adhd struggles almost made me cry. Thank you ❤

As someone with severe ADHD, I profoundly appreciate the way you respected their home. I don't usually subscribe, but I was quick to click that button. Thank you!

Hearing you say youre autistic and this is your special interest, and seeing you help ppl who have ADHD is like watching my brain in a youtube video lol. I have autism and ADHD, I get very fixated on cleaning when I finally have the motivation to do it. My ADHD is medicated which really helps me actually finish my cleaning projects, pre-meds my attempts to clean just made my space worse. I love this channel! I just found it

As an ADHD person. This isn't just how I keep my stuff; this is how I clean. I have my piles, I know where they are. I keep my important documents in a pile with unimportant stuff. But sometimes it get to be too much for me. I like having open spaces; I like having an uncluttered room. So it's great to see someone who validates me, my condition, my processes. Thank you.

I love how your autism awareness within yourself helps other people and your just able to be cautious of others feelings. 🤗

Clicked for the info, stayed for the moose story arc. 😂

ADHD and Autistic here I just want to say I have never felt more understood and more seen ever in my life than I did watching this video I have had people look down their nose at me my entire life For the disastrous clutter I've always had As if it doesn't bother me My autistic side desperately needs order But the ADHD side just doesn't allow it So every once in a while I go on a mission and get everything together all of it Just to watch it fall apart within a week The amount of compassion and insight you spoke with is admirable ❤❤

I have ADHD, and my dad used to get the cleaner to clean my room if I didn't clean it fast enough. I would beg them to stop but he'd say that she's doing it against his will, and she'd say that he told her to. My mom tried to help me in her house, but it was hard because of my ADHD and my dad's terrible parenting. In the end, I only managed to start improving when I left. I started learning to tidy in my own time and way, and I would ask friends to help me if it got too out of hand. All my college friends were very supportive, thankfully, and one of them had OCPD tendencies. Thank you for being so caring towards those of us with ADHD. It means a lot, as so most people tend to just bulldoze over any actual attempt at making progress.

As someone with ADHD I had a strong visceral reaction when you said you couldn’t move plates from one cupboard to another. I yelled “oh hell no!!!” I would go ballistic if someone switched up my organization! Your level of understanding is appreciated and you’re not even cleaning my house 🤣🤣🤣

As a person with ADHD. I so appreciate your attitude towards cleaning. Most people don't understand.

This is so encouraging. That there are folk who really understand and don’t dismiss or patronise. I’ve been a psychologist gor 46 yrs, have 8 kids, ADHD and ASD….Oh and the children and my husband all have ADHD/ASD. We are a messy, loud and fun family. This video will be such a great resource for my clients and their families. Thank you heaps😁

I settled down with my coffee to enjoy this, but the minute Jason started washing sink stuff, I remembered I’d left a herd of moose soaking in the sink. No self respecting woman can leave soapy meese in the sink while someone else is scrubbing, so I had to pause the video long enough to get the moose herd scrubbed & drying on the rack. 😂 Now I can enjoy my coffee & the rare sight of men cleaning a kitchen ❤

I really appreciate how that moose kept coming around. I hope it finds happiness in the sunset in a place it belongs.

Oh my goodness I was so called out by this video. My kids have told me they think I have undiagnosed ADHD and stuff like this keeps confirming it. I love how respectful you are! Some of your comments made me want to cry, things like we aren't going to get rid of their stuff, if we reorganize it's a violation and your description of making a finish line and trying to force them over it! I'm in my 40s and you just explained so much of what my ex husband and I went through 20 years ago when we first got married and lived together. Thanks for this!

Your understanding of and compassion for neurodivergent people is much appreciated!

I had a nervous breakdown a couple years ago. The person who helped me the most was a kind and neurodivergent-aware declutterer like you. I needed a neurodivergent self education, a trauma therapist, a psychiatrist, substance use counseling, and peer support, and all of those have ultimately helped me rebuild my life. But I couldn't even have gotten started on that journey without that declutterer, who understood my day to day ADHD challenges, met me where I was, helped me accept how I am, and helped me function enough at home to get to and survive between all those other services. Thank you so much for educating others about this. We need SO MANY MORE OF YOU.

Your comment about "others imposing a finish line on projects as seen as an insult" was spot on. One of my biggest pet peeves ever since i was a kid is when someone is trying to teach me something And then they just do it without giving me the time to try and finish it for myself Hands-On.

I’m a single mom of 2 with adhd and bipolar. This was so validating to listen to! You completely get it. ❤ it’s always nice to run into people you don’t have to feel ashamed around

Just reading the comments, it's pretty amazing (and kind of sad) to see how grateful people with ADHD are to hear someone be truly understanding and genuinely non-judgemental of the issues we struggle with. It's sad because it highlights how unusual and rare that experience is. I almost never come across anyone who truly gets it like this. At best, people are non-judgemental but still surprised when they see what our living space is like most of the time, and it seems almost alien to them. Honestly, that's perfectly fine and understandable, but it is so refreshing when someone actually understands it, like you do. The world needs more people like you.

Honestly the more I watch this the more it feels like it would be so helpful. Half of the time my issue with cleaning up my ADHD house is that looking at the piles is overwhelming and my brain decides that it can't handle it. But having someone come in and just organize the piles so they are a bit more orderly and logical so I can see everything and then go in after to organize it fully would be super helpful.

I've never seen anybody understand ADHD so well when it comes to cleaning and decluttering. You are amazing! Thank you!

I went into this with curiosity since I have ADHD. Came out of it, enlightened and validated. I had no clue my clutter had anything to do with my ADHD. And it now makes all the sense, why my mom has always insisted I needed to declutter and deep clean but I never saw the problem in my organization. Some of the decluttering you've done here is actually really inspiring. I think I might try some of the things you did here. Thank you!

I really enjoyed how organizing and consolidating turned the living and dining rooms from "cluttered" to "maximalist"!

i was gonna say that you have no idea how much it means to see someone who *gets* why cleaning is such a struggle for neurodivergent people and has actual strategies and tips that aren’t just “make a list” or “force yourself to do it even though it’s overwhelming”… but then you said you’re autistic, so i’m sure that you do. i’m autistic and adhd and cleaning is basically a traumatic process for me because there is so much social baggage around doing it the “right” way. i really like the idea of reframing things in terms of making items easier to access even if it doesn’t look “organized” to neurotypicals - i never feel better after cleaning because i can’t find anything and i know it’s not gonna stay like that, but i would probably feel a lot better if things were organized simply based on being able to find and to get to.

56 year old here who was diagnosed with ADHD/ASD at 52. Although I’ve always been “clean” (clean bathroom toilets showers and sinks daily, no dirty dishes in sinks, 2 loads of laundry daily-but sitting in folded piles on the table, never put away, sweeping vacuuming dusting regularly) my living area was always disorganized, cluttered and looked “messy.” I finally bought baskets and tubs for EVERYTHING, and stuck a label on it. Now not a single gadget or object gets set down anywhere UNLESS it’s in its proper basket

I'm so impressed by how compassionate and respectful you are. You truly get that this isn't a choice or a lifestyle or a moral failing.

The integration of humour is fantastic

I am going to help a friend declutter and organize and she shared that she has ADHD. This is exactly the video I needed this week! Thank you so much for giving the respect and space to people with ADHD.

Thank you so much for understanding the “out of site, out of mind” and the panic and rage taking things out of our disorganized order can generate. And also for doubling down on the fact that the house doesn’t need a deep cleaning, because, yes, being messy and disorganized doesn’t mean unhygienic

I'm positive I'm ADHD undiagnosed but at 70 years old I can't be bothered or overwhelmed by going down the rabbit hole of getting officially diagnosed and medicated which my ADHD friends say changed their life...I'm in Australia and it's an expensive drawn out process 😢 The out of sight out of mind is so real for me...nearly everything in my fridge needs to be on the front of the shelves! WT ...I just thought that I was seriously crazy, never heard of this before now. What a relief. Love this video which just randomly popped up on my Utube feed...hmmmm You are amazing 👏 Oh and shame! I find my shame debilitating but didn't know why?

This video helped me realize how to communicate something that i need to my loved ones.

As someone with ADHD, you’re funny jokes like “your mom” actually helps to keep our attention. Good job!

When you said that you would leave there's stuff in the same general area, where they could find it, instead of going on an Easter egg hunt, I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank you for respecting them!

Me watching them scrub with Mr. Clean: "...how is that NOT deep cleaning?" Goddamnit i am so not cut out for life.

This is really the first time I've seen anyone address how decluttering can be done for those of us with ADHD/bipolar (hi there, I'm both! 🙃) You're 100% spot on that the prevailing wisdom in the cleaning/decluttering corners of the internet pretty much all give advice and instructions that feel like personal attacks and cause us huge amounts of anxiety. "Just throw a bunch of stuff away because there's no way you could ever want/need/use all this stuff and it's junk anyway." That's a one-way ticket to send us to the store to buy a replacement thing when we can't find the one we had because we assume that either someone else threw it away for us, or because we might have thrown it away ourselves when we were following some neurotypical cleaning expert's advice. "Put stuff out of sight in cupboards/closets/opaque bins." I literally forget that stuff exists when it goes into opaque boxes, which means that crap ends up getting stacked on top/in front of the boxes, or stuff winds up crammed into cabinets so tightly that you can't see or get to it, and then you have to take it all out to find the thing you had been looking for, which usually is when you're in the middle of some activity that isn't cleaning, but then it turns into either having to clean/declutter the mess you just made getting the thing you needed for the activity at hand OR a huge mess to deal with later, and it only takes a few times of that happening to make a house that was in pretty decent shape into a nightmare. "Having a lot of stuff out automatically means that you need to clean it up because it makes your space feel claustrophobic." The way that I perceive clutter is very different from yours. As nice as a minimalist photo shoot for some interior design blog or magazine looks, actually existing in that sort of space for any amount of time actually stresses me out. My perception of visual space is a lot like my perception of my mental landscape: there's a lot going on all the time, and I like it that way because that's how my brain has always been. "Touch everything only once by immediately putting it where it goes." This assumes that I have the clairvoyance to know exactly where it's going to go if I'm relocating it, which, as discussed above, often requires a whole reframing of my mental map of where things are if they aren't where I left them the last time I was using them, and a reengineering of how I'll arrange/store it so I can get to it later. "There's only ONE ~right~ way to store/consolidate/group your spices/baking supplies/mail/clothes/toiletries/etc and it's automatically, universally intuitive." My brain doesn't work the way that most other people's brain work, and as a result I don't do things the way that most other people do them. I make connections in my brain that feel bizarre to others and the procedural steps that I take when I do certain tasks aren't conventional. That's because I adapt things to fit my needs. I don't need my closet/laundry room/office to be set up so that any random person to be able to be able to walk in off the street and do my laundry or file my taxes for me, and when we make it an ultimatum that I have to set up my personal space to accommodate others, especially neurotypicals, before myself, it makes me feel small and like I don't matter. This video made me feel seen and respected in a way that I have rarely felt when getting help or advice on cleaning my space in the past.

I don't know how or why the algorithm brought this in front of me, but I nearly cried when I watched this. I have had such well intentioned close friends want to clean my space (part bedroom, part racing drone building shop, part sim racing rig, part movie theater) and have to wait till I left town so I wouldn't fight them every step of the way. I would always lose my shit when I came back to an otherwise immaculate space. I would go to a really dark place, go through all the negative emotions, end up feeling like my life wasn't worth anything. Much to the confusion and frustration by the person wonderful enough to spend so much time and energy to do take on something so impressive in scope. They are a also on the spectrum and have severe OCD, so they can't help themselves and have to organize and they watch my cat when I leave town for work. This has led to countless fights that I felt like a complete A**hole for initiating, even at the time, being aware of this gift they were trying to give. You explained so much to me in the 1st minute of this video than any therapist or councilor has in decades. Thank you. Subbed and belled. Gonna go put your vids on an extra screen just to give them all the interaction. Might even watch, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Can no thank you enough!

This was the first one of your videos that made me cry...I was diagnosed at 51, and just hearing someone "see" someone like me...just, thank you.

This has helped me understand my boyfriend on a whole new level, and also has made me feel awful because I feel like I’ve done all the things that you SHOULDNT do. I have autism, so for me it makes sense to have very specific homes for everything, color code things, and keep things separate. He’s quite literally the messiest person I’ve ever met and it’s taken a toll on him and everyone around him. I’ve tried to help him clean but I didn’t realize I was enforcing MY ways of keeping clean and it simply is not registering with him because my brain functions significantly different from him. I also didn’t realize that for him, I’ve just been insulting, even though I feel like I’ve been trying to help…

Topping the nightstand pile with the cute little pumpkin was beautiful. 10/10 exactly what I would've done for my own pile if I had a surprise pumpkin

Dawg, I almost teared up watching this. As a guy with ADHD/autism, who actually went through years of hoarding, the way you spoke about the whole subject was the most validating thing I've come across in so fuckin long. I have never seen such genuine understanding and compassion in a cleaning/decluttering video. More often than not, the people being helped are made to be seen as disgusting or lazy. Seeing some actually treat us as human beings and not just obstacles in completeing a job is immensely validating.

AuDHD therapist here. I LOVE this. I'll send it to my clients and other therapists.

Finally someone who know how to clean for ADHD person! Hats off to you ❤

Shared this on Facebook.. I relate to everything ! My dining tables a wide shelf, and I've got serious shoe cabinet envy. So much humour delivered with lots of respect. Thanks

Thank you for your respect for those of us with ADHD. For 70 years I have felt badly about myself because I can’t do what everyone else seems to know how to do so organically

This is such a great educational tool. So many people need to understand their relative is not a "pig" but has ADHD and could use the RIGHT type of help.

I started crying within 10 seconds of this video because of how truly compassionate and understanding you are. I was diagnosed at 18 but have always shown pretty severe symptoms of adhd. As I learn more, I have realized how much of my daily functioning is affected by adhd, and I'm not a lazy slob like I've been called.. but its so hard to accept you aren't those things when it feels like nobody understands or takes it seriously. Thank you for taking the time and effort to learn about ADHD and find ways to benefit them in the long run.

Very helpful. I am now in my 70’s and only within the past few years have I have recognized the for probably all my life I have dealt with ADHD and your KZfaq has been very HELPFUL!!! Thank you 🙏

I have a grandson with ADHD that i nicknamed him INVENTORY CLERK. No joke he could always locate stuff at his house and my house. You are amazing.

I have ADHD and I used to live in what I called “organized chaos” Now that I’m medicated I’m much more sensitive to clutter and things being dirty (before I wouldn’t even notice) so I’m desperately trying to implement routines and organize my stuff in a way, where it works for me and is also easy to maintain. It’s proving to be very difficult! But I also know that when someone other than me tries to help by inventing new systems and putting my stuff in boxes, it actually feels violating! This video reminded me that my “organized” doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

AuDHD here 👋🏻 I really appreciate the care you took with the wolf cabinet. It's a key part of any loving home.

I love the Papa Bear energy that comes out when you get protective of people who are struggling 🖤 Thank you!

I have been decluttering & purging my house for 3 months now. I have empty spaces everywhere. Please send all your unwanted mooses (?) over and I will take care of them and give them love❣️❣️❣️

as someone with adhd: thank you for this!! a lot of people don't realize adhd is a disability, and the 'well get over it' attitude can't fix adhd symptoms anymore than it would fix diabetes symptoms or allow someone in a wheelchair to magically walk. just because it would be easy for a neurotypical person to keep things tidy, doesn't mean it would be easy for an adhd person. the chemicals in our brains literally don't work the same! i sometimes explain it to people with gasoline: you might be a big diesel truck, and when you want to gear up and go somewhere you just put in your diesel and you're good to go! but if i don't have a diesel engine, no amount of the diesel that works for you is going to get me where i need to go. in fact putting diesel in my engine would clog it and make it impossible to run! thank you so much for understanding this and presenting it to your audience. i think it really helps to spread compassion thru understanding. also the organized chaos is true!!! we often have visual/muscle memory, so when we're trying to remember where we put something we're almost retracing our steps like CSI haha. as a kid i always lost stuff when my mother force-"organized" my backpack because she didn't like how it looked (it was functioning fine!!).

As an ADHD person who struggles with clutter, thank you so much for respecting my moose and wolves. The last time someone "helped", my moose ended up in Cincinnati, and he's really bad at reading roadmaps, so it took him 3 weeks to get home.

As someone with pretty bad ADHD, I really appreciate you working with their disorders not against them and the matter of fact way you address it. I struggle with a lot of shame and guilt for how my ADHD manifests and it's very meaningful to see someone handle it without being patronizing or judgemental.

As a sort of "Neatfreak", I appreciate all the info you gave in this video. I have loads of friends and family living with ADHD, and I realise now that some of the ways I was trying to "help" were not actually helpful. Mack out here savin' relationships and banishing Mooses!

The banter and empathy combined makes this channel unbeatable for me.

hi, adhd person here! watching your videos helps me clean-- i've heard it described as parallel play-- and i saved this particular video for a weekend i had lots of time. i've looped it 2x, and my kitchen and living room look astonishingly good. (i've even defeated the floordrobe... for now lol) bless you for your special interest and thank you for your work!

Helping an undiagnosed but definitely ADHD friend declutter bit by bit. He Loves doing this together and Loves the resulting order. But to do it alone is overwhelming to him. Together we make it fun and can talk over where items would be logical and accessible and so on. Its hard work but its also magic.
