*Me, casually pausing the video every two seconds to be like "yeah, I do that too. This is exactly the reason why I think I have ADHD" and then being like "no, I just think I do because I want to be 'different.' I'm fine"* (Rinse and repeat until I start questioning who I really am)

Ugh I really relate to the person saying their parents saying things like forgetting and such is unacceptable- that happens to me constantly and the only answers I can ever give are "I don't know" or "I forgot" and my parents really mock me for it- or tell me that its an excuse or that I'm lying- and its crazy because while I have not been diagnosed I do know that I have it although I can't actually get a diagnosis- but one of my parents actually does have a diagnosis with Adhd so it baffles me that my parents see me struggling with this, knowing that I'm not lying when they suffer from the same thing- but if I ever bring up adhd I feel so bad because I dont have a diagnosis so I feel like I'm talking from my ass even tho its a very real part of my life- and because my parent will just tell me that since they have it and they don't forget things as much as I do that I'm faking it or trying to lie

Learning about things that are normal for neurotypical people is so weird they’re like an alien species

I don't regress anymore but I really appreciate the first tik tok!

I’m autistic and I just recently found out that most people don’t constantly have several voices in their heads, each with different personalities talking to each other in thoughts and out loud. Maybe I’m just awkward so I talk to myself instead of making friends but I have always done this.

1. This video calls me out 2. Yay! I love The Click!!

throwback to that one time my mom got mad at me for not getting on the school bus to go home even though i couldn’t find a bus and had a anxiety attack

"I know people who pull their eyebrow hairs out..." not me stimming by pulling my eyebrow hairs out at the moment that line is said...... :'D

I have autism, ADD, and depression. Growing up, my mom and older siblings would constantly tell mean jokes about an uncle of mine. I remember once I decided to join in and proceeded to get yelled at by my family. My “grandmother” has bipolar disorder and depression yet refuses to take her medicine like she should and would flip her shit on me whenever I just couldn’t do something or forgot to. If I said “I don’t know,” or “I forgot” she’d yell at me and call me lazy and how every normal person can “just do it”. Yeah, okay, well neither of us are normal.

4:47 made me cry, I’m pretty sure I do have adhd but my mom won’t take me to a doctor to get me diagnosed with anything, my step dad is always saying that my “excuses” are invalid as that I’m just lazy, I’m so tired of this and just want to know what’s going on in my head

The one at 4:40 was hella relatable. I napped A LOT usually after school coz it was so exhausting getting through the day. And if my mom gave me a list of chores to do, I'd always forget one. My parents always hounded me over those things.

10:31 I'm neurotypical but if anyone gave me fruit snacks like heck I would be happy

5:17 when she said it makes you feel like there's something inherently wrong with you, that shit hit different because I grew up feeling like there was something wrong with me and I've struggled with trying to change that basically my whole life and not understanding why I felt like there was something wrong with me 🤦🏾‍♀️

6:55 not me pulling out between 5 and 15 eyelashes everyday

Does anybody else ask something suck as “Can i eat--?” And the other person will reply, and then about 10 seconds later I have to ask again because I forgot what their answer was Such as a conversation frequently had between my stepmom and I: Me: “Can I have lunch?” Stepmom: “Yes.” Me, about 15 seconds later: “Wait did you say yes or-?”

For that one TikTok, I thought the one saying it’s hieroglyphics was the ND one. But I realized at the last second that’s it’s the one who gave the paper

I have dermatillomania and it is to the point where i scratch at my skin on my arms/legs/face and basically anywhere until I start to bleed from the wound then I wait a bit and pick at the scabs that are left behind and now I have like sooo many red/pink/purple scars all over my body and now it’s another thing that I am insecure about

I'm glad I watched this video. The girl at 6:12 saying fidget toys can help with skin picking sold me on it. I just bought one. Hopefully I works, because last night I was lying in bed listening to music, daydreaming, and impulsively picking the skin on my back until 4am. I went to bed at 10pm. My back is suffering and I have really low self-esteem because it looks so ugly.

wait, you’re telling me that neurotypicals don’t want to punch their father who has congestion issues who they really love very much, in the face for breathing too loud?

Woah! The one with the bad handwriting hit too close to home 😭😭😭😭 But I've been getting better but it's hard to write long paragraphs and keep consistent handwriting 😭😭😭😭

I’m laughing because I can I forgot what I was gonna say. Frick. Who likes drawing and music? AND FROGS! 🐸 Frogs are cute.

Hi everyone! Remember to drink water today!♡♡♡

6:12 I just wanna say that she says “…and it can be really damaging to your self esteem.” And I totally agree because I’ve lived with it my whole life and it’s my biggest insecurity. I’ve tried so many times but nothing ever fix’s it. I’ve also found that some fidget toys can help. Plus if you have adhd like me it can be a lack of dopamine that causes it so it can help to have something to stimulate your brain like stimulant meds and other things. Hope that helps!

Sometimes I think of neurotypical people and forget that no everyone has frequent memory gaps and alternate personalities who have named themselves and become friends with your friends and go “y’all really never have to avoid something to avoid triggering an alter to front? tf”

the texting one kinda slapped

4:33 I'm constantly being told that having ADD isn't an excuse to not do things or that "I forgot what you asked me to do" isn't valid because you damn well heard what I asked you to do, among other things like that. My mom yells at me for being on my phone while doing homework because "it's distracting" and tells me that I can't listen to music because I'll get distracted and I won't do my work even though I get distracted by everything else (all the little sounds and everyone talking and moving around)

Hello! I’m dating a neurodivergent person so I watch these to learn things to help with his autism! :)

i felt 4:33 so damn hard. i didn't get diagnosed w adhd until i was almost 19 and had already graduated high school, and i was a 'gifted kid' so expectations were high for me from 7 years old. so when i couldn't get my work done when the dopamine ran out in high school and i kept forgetting to do my chores even when i set alarms, it was because i was lazy, and forgetting wasn't an excuse. it was always somehow because i was flawed and needed to fix myself because the way i was, was unacceptable. and it's ironic as hell because i still graduated with a 4.14 from a college prep private school and got fives on five ap exams. it was still never good enough because of the extremely obvious challenges i faced to get there and how my family and teachers believed they were my fault alone. and no, nobody ever asked if i had been tested for adhd. of course.

As an Autistic, I love and needed this.

The last one tho- I was once hanging out with a friend, and I had just stopped crying and I was moving around a LOT and like jumping from foot to foot while shaking to try and distract myself into not crying. And then another friend walks up to me and asks what’s wrong. When I explain they just go “have you ever tried having ADHD” So I just shrugged because I don’t have access to a proper doctor or diagnosis So they say “wait you didn’t know? You obviously have ADHD” And it’s just so crazy to me that all these people that know who they’re talking about from personal experience or study are telling me “hey you may have adhd” or “hey you may have autism” and my parents don’t believe that their son could be neuro divergent- and when I bring things up about it my dad thinks I’m attention seeking or I WANT to be neuro divergent, and I can’t bring it up with my mom because she’ll just say “no” Sorry for the rant

Thank you to the lovely neurodivergent that shared Tiny Decisions app that was SO helpful thank you!

Yeeees more of this! Really enjoyed this video, a much needed reassurance and reminder from fellow ND folk

Golly I just realized- my birthday is on September 14! We're really close in birthdays!! Also this comp was suuuuper awesome- as a person with ADHD, I appreciate it!

5:24 one time my mom screamed at me because I forgot to do the dishes and told me that there was something truly wrong with me and threatened to take me to the doctor for it. Me, being a little kid that hated attention doctors was terrified of this, and I never say 'I forgot' anymore when anyone asks me to do anything and I get distracted, I just apologize. I'm still not diagnosed with disorder, particularly anxiety and/or depression because my mother doesn't want to accept that she caused these issues for me. I also don't want to self diagnose because I know people get a lot of pressure for that and I don't need that. So thanks mom.

9:36 i find it concerning but also comforting that i can understand almost all of this, partially because this is one of my handwriting styles TwT

*People talk about how they would watch one thing multiple times and only think about that said thing* Me: lol that's never gonna happen to m- *Watches the movie Luca 12 times*

I usually don't watch these because in the short time I'm exposed to them I start mirroring the people's actions- I swear I don't mean to

7:14 I was stiming (I love that music thinggie that had to bumps the you rub with a stick yes that's that best description I can give) and then heard this and didn't process it was satire and I started masking again dear God I've been mimicking people to help make since I was a kid but know I'm processing

Hey is this a neurodivergent thing? In school I’m allowed to type because when I’m using pencil and paper I just can’t get the words out and it’s so anxiety producing. I just can’t get the pencil to the paper. So many good ideas. Can’t get em out. Adhd and ocd and anxiety here btw

I'm so glad you're back!! I love your videos a lot and it's always great to see more from you!

me when i forgot something and my family was like "you didn't forget you're just lazy": 👁👄👁

7:31 is 100% me lmao that one actually got a good belly laugh from me.

The first one made me happy for some reason- also is the chew necklace in the demigirl colors? I just downloaded the tiny decisions app it looks so amazing

3:14 I feel like I do this but to an extreme (and as its called) it feels like I'm putting on a mask every time I talk to someone. Like with my classmates I could be calm, collected, and confused then with the girls in my class I could be this person you could do anything with, like even if we crashed a car and lost in a forest it would be amazing. I think I need to break this habit, any thoughts on how??

MR. DEMON!!!! YOURE BACK!!

4:04, this is literally my mom and little brother. He was formally diagnosed with BPD a few years ago and after a lot of childhood trauma inflicted mainly by our mother, he developed extreme aggressive tendencies that turned into anger issues to protect himself. My mom has never been diagnosed as a narcissist but she has a lot of narcissistic tendencies and a perpetual victim complex. They are constantly getting into blow out screaming matches that the rest of us have to tiptoe around, lest we get pulled in. It's not fun.

I have anxiety And Intrustive thoughts (Going to get cheaked for OCD and Adhd soon) My mom Always calls me a scardy cat and overly Dramatic Bescuse I'm Scared of alot of things and feel bad things will happen and it hurts

Does anyone else do “happy stims?” Like I’ll be talking to someone I know and start stimming like, alot

9:24 I HEAR THAT DANGANRONPA AUDIO AGDJGDYFJGJDAJYF oh and speaking of which I now have to figure out if my love of the series is a hyperfixation (like I thought it was) or a special interest...🙃 oh and also not being able to get into new stuff is a whole mood (the exception being for a one-time fandom wiki binge)

4:34 I was diagnosed with adhd just like my dad was and I also have anxiety and depression so I can hardly do anything and my mom still sees it as a miss diagnosis and won't put me on medication because she thinks they just wanted us to think I was so she would spend more money cause she doesn't see any of the signs in me •-• this lady is insane

The starkid song! The joy that brought me is unexplainable

dsmdhavsha kinda off topic(?) but theres this person that i really like and they're neurodivergent and here i am trying to learn more about this so i can treat them with care and love 🙆‍♀️✨❤️

Yo they're back!!! Welcome back, mate!!

it takes me a bit of time to comprehend things like my brains just slow and laggy and it's really annoying because unless i'm zoned in, i could take literally 45 minutes trying to figure out what 9 hours from 5:30 was. my bsf if really smart and doesn't have the same problems as me and tells me all the time that i'm just acting dumb and i'm not actually dumb i'm just pretending. and my mom would say things like "ur not actually sad you are just manipulating us and pretending to be upset" and i spiral out of control for like one thing. i'm always switching hobbies and i cAnT SlEep at night and end up doing weird things and starting new ideas. i'm very particular about the way my schedule goes or i don't care at all, like if smth is slightly not right then i screw it and stay up all night or am off the rest of the day. my mom tells me i'm self absorbed because i'll be talking about how i don't want people to think i'm weird if i go sit over there by the bench but not on the bench , i don't want them to think i'm being rude or whatever dum things like that and she'll blow it off as ur being narsasiti, also having anxiety about small things like people touching or being around my phone, i can't stand hugs i just don't like them, i hate touching other than hands/arms with clothing, and i actually really like holding on to peoples like shirt it's nice help idk why. and i always forget things cause so much goes on in my head.

I did not expect to learn new things about myself when clicking this video today😭

thank you ive been waiting for this and i am so happy ty

yoooooo, that whole song is an absolute MOOD

the duality of not being able to filter out background noise normally because of autism but unable to hear absolutely anything if I'm hyperfocusing bc of adhd

Oh quick clarification in the one about dermatillomania/excoriation disorder/skin picking, pulling at your eyebrow hairs (can also be your eyelashes, head hair, body hair, etc) is a separate thing! It's called Trichotillomania (also referred to as just "trich" or pulling/plucking, picking also gets used but less from my understanding) and it's pretty much the same, except the compulsion is focused on your hair rather than your skin! (very small clarification but i thought it would be worth putting out there because i have trich personally and i know it's somewhat criminally uncommon to be aware of ^^!!)

3:14 i would like to point out that calling all your bad traits narcissistic is kind iffy. It ties to npd because a narcissist is a person with npd. It is a cluster b term. And people with npd are not evil or abusive just because of their npd. Smh im sick of this bs.

9:40 I’ve literally never understood people who can’t read their own handwriting. Like growing up there were always kids who had terrible handwriting but it’s because they didn’t actually try to write anything down, so they’d look back on it and try to read it and they couldn’t. Then there’s me, who can always read my own handwriting even though it’s “messy” AND I was always able to read everyone else’s as well. The teacher would always be like “can you tell me what this says?” About anything and everything lmao

6:35 oh..... OH....... oh no.... so that's what it's called... I've been picking at my skin and my fingers and it leaves wounds and scars sometimes and I was wondering why I had such an irresistible impulse....... added that to the "little things i do that other people don't usually do" list

5:31 Omg this is so true cuz one time on the school bus the bus driver had the radio on and the podcast kept saying "wiki!" And it was so frustrating I almost cried

THE SONG AT THE END BY THE CLICK HES MY FAVORITE KZfaqR WOAH LOVE THE VID

This video brought me some comfort when It is so difficult to be comfortable with myself.

10:23 when I watched this I was like awww but then I started uncontrollably crying and hyperventilating for some reason then my cat helped me calm down. Maybe I cried because I wish someone was that understanding of me too? Idk lol

I’m on 3 psych pills, one as needed, take one heart/BP “regulator” pill so that my heart won’t fluctuate too much if my adrenaline spikes, AND I have a surgical scar under my hairline going from the left side of my head to my right side. And most of these people are coming off as bad ventriloquists in front of an audience that didn’t have to pay to get in.

4:35 not only do i relate to this but my parents REFUSED to teach me how to clean (i.e mop, sweep, ect...) and then bitch when i dont do it right. its VERY aggrivating-

omg the second one is so relateable though- me and my partner be like

The first one

7:19 I don't think I'm neurodivergent (never been diagnosed) but MAN I hate this sound, I had to take out my earbuds and just sit there for a moment, it felt like nails in my ear canals

7:19 Why did i just listen to that- oh nope- nope nope- i- Comfort drink will help- but no more listening to that-

question, if you're still a minor and you're own therapist even suspects you to be neurodivergent, does it cost to get a screening or whatever it is

i wrote a 9 page essay to ask my parents if i can get an autism test. *but hell no i'm too dyslexic to read 6 words*

ending music credit goes to the KZfaq The Click (mark deck) for his OwO song

I relate to the you can't use that as an excuse on so much, both because of what they said and because I do have a diagnosis of autism but apparently still can't use it to explain behaviour. I do believe I have at least some form of ADHD but unless they know someone who is diagnosed with it, they always brush me off; so instead I just get yelled at. I am diagnosed for autistic spectrum disorder but still told that I can't use that as a reason. Instead I'm apparently using it so I can be difficult/work myself, dramatic, lazy. Majority of this is from my mam. Who is the one who pushed to get me diagnosed, was there at every stage of it, and basically has to manage the majority of my life for me (my anxiety also makes things not happen, but what do I have to be anxious/stressed about, is all I get about that) Because I don't mask/cover up as well as I used to due to stress/growing up/college. Also my old techniques have become their own problems now I'm supposed to be an adult (such as maladaptive daydreaming). But I struggle to talk about this due to my difficulties so just ramble about it when ever it comes up in a casual setting, like KZfaq. Even if I could I would probably just get the response of being dramatic. I try to bring up something relevant to lead into the conversation but get shut down before I get to my point, either their busy, change the subject, I get sidetracked, or just can't listen to me ramble. At least I can ramble into the mass comment sections on KZfaq to help sift through my thoughts and experiences as I think better when I'm talking. At least until my social anxiety kicks in and I become self conscious of everything that I post. Like when I went over 3 years not commenting/posting anywhere, despite being constantly online whenever possible 😅 Yeah I should really just post this before I delete another lengthy comment or post it in my notes, as I've done in past. Or read through and just get rid of the unnecessary stream of consciousness writing I've just noticed I'm doing; where I write down every thought I have without thinking. Is this an ADHD thing, does that make this more relevant, definitely makes me feel a less like I need to delete at least half of this, or should I still do it. Is this due to my autism, possibly anxiety. I don't know it's late and I'm tired. I'll probably end up posting it just cause it's easier. Then I don't accidentally lose it all, again, and at this point I've put so much time into this I feel like it would be a waste. Literally just got locked out cause been on phone too long but able to unlock it long enough to finish and post this. I can always delete it later if regret posting it when I wake up, probably. If you're reading this, I'm sorry this was not meant to be so long. Hope it helped you kill some time or that you got anything really. I get rambly when I'm tired as you can see 😅🙈🤦🏼‍♀️

7:05 Wait, you mean to tell me that pulling out your eyebrow hairs when you're bored is not a 100% neurological behavior??? (This is a joke btw. I know I have some problematic stimming behaviors like the ones mentioned in the video.)

I'd like to add one to the tiktok at 10:40 Plural people having low sense of identity because everyone else is blending

Wait a minute - the person with Asperger’s said it hurts their hand to write neatly …. Does anyone else experience this? Like my hand starts to go NOPE when the pen is turned the wrong way and I need to squeeze my fingers in the air and rotate the pen a few times - like it’s not muscle spasming from soreness but just … agitation???? Idk lol

Omg I just remembered the owo song exists, thank you

I feel like I can’t watch this video It is bringing back memories and thoughts and I feel like crying so I keep taking breaks

I have an anxious tick where my eye brows just randomly go up and i cant stop 😭

The outro song is from the click on his music channel if anyone was wondering

7:33 IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HATES THAT TEXTURE! YES THANK GOD!

Wow the app looks so helpful!

I didn't even know what Neurodivergent or Neurotypical or what any of this stuff was a couple of days ago, I just grew up thinking I was fucked up... Huh.

The one at 4:33 is so relatable, especially the face they make at “oh yeah, you forgot”

Me: here’s the owo song YES

Ok ok ok ok ok. I NEED to know if anyone else does this. Do you assign colors, personalities, shapes, or tastes to words, numbers, items, or thoughts? Hear me out, March is green, 3 is neon pink, left is thin, and the jumpy boots in Subway Surfers are evil. And I don't actively do this, it just happens. Does this happen with anyone else???

6:10 wait, thats not normal...

I feel called out with the fruit snack one

10:40 me as a kid looking up why I don’t have a personality vs me now seeking an autism diagnosis

I've never been diagnosed with anything but I've been having this problem for a while where like I HAVE to sleep with noise but it has to be my own noise that I chose to hear and if I hear anything outside of my room (like the livingroom tv) I won't sleep until I can't hear it anymore

5:29 she's literally describing my entire life.

i felt personally attacked at 6:15 i was picking at my face then she calls me out, without realising i move to pulling out eyebrow hairs, she mentions pinching nonexistant ingrown hair thingos wHICH IVE BEEN DOING SM RECENTLY LIKE IT STARTED LAST WEEK AHH and then she calls me out for the eyebrows ;-;

I love these I’m neurodivergent (adhd and motor tics)

4:47 my whole life I've been been told if I cared enough I wouldn't forget things or get distracted and a lot of the time my parents don't believe me anymore when I say i forgot to do a chore damn

:0 AYY YOU MADE ANOTHER VIDEO!!! /POS

ok but the one at like 4:34 , my teachers always say stuff like "nope, no excuses!, you shouldve done it anywyas" or whatever and it sucks

First yaaaay
