One of the core aspects of ADD, ADHD, and ADID is the that you are able to focus on things that interest you to the ignorance of the world. Most people think that ADHD just means you lack focus, which is not the truth. Being able to focus on things that interest you is strangely easy for people with ADD. Just wanted to bring this up, since it's overlooked as signs in this line.

As someone with ADHD there's tons of things that aren't usually mentioned: - being sensitive to sounds, smells and lights; - constant thoughts in your mind: you start to do something and then during actually doing it you get distracted by side quests; - you start lots of things but actually never finish one of them; - you loose your phone in your own bedroom, almost get the kitchen on 🔥, loose the bus card, your keys... Yeah everything; - your can get overstimulated by external and internal stuff and you get so confused that you wanna cry, be alone and without anyone touching you. - you overfocus on something and forget to eat and drink, or even hold not to go to the bathroom because your on flow time; - someone talking to you: you zone out. Then you comeback. - ah yes totally agree. 🤣; - forgets everyones birthday, important stuff unless you get it somewhere you can actually track; - important test tomorrow.. please brain 🥹 focus this one time. 🧠: No; - do you remember that one time...? ... 🐟 no.. but the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Just as a little extra here: Sensitivity to surroundings and overstimulation can absolutely be a part of adhd, but its also important not to confuse that with sensory issues in autism. Us with adhd can be sensitive to our surroundings because it can easily serve to distract us. Overstimulation and eventually breakdowns are unfortunately common because our surroundings can worsen our concentration and it turns our minds into more of a mess. And, coupled with emotional dysregulation, that shit will make you cry out of frustration. But like… if you have meltdowns because the lights are too bright or your mom talked too loud or you can feel your clothing and it just is too much and it actually sorta *hurts…* consider autism. A lot of people with adhd also have autism, it’s just that adhd is more commonly looked for and diagnosed.

As someone who has ADD, it can be difficult living with it, especially when people don't and can't understand why we act the way we do. Here are some other things about ADD people don't even know about: 1. We remind ourselves about something we have to do, but then (raspberry) we forget all about it a minute later. 2. We often can't finish what we started. For me, I would have an intense burst of focus for a few days to a week; then, I lose it and end up not finishing any projects or get distracted with something else 3. We can't cope with stress well. Indeed, we get stressed so easily because we're prone to be overwhelmed and even overstimulated. Sometimes it's too much that one would have an emotional outburst. 4. Mood swings, low frustration intolerance, anger issues. I'm not sure if anger especially and ADD/ADHD are intertwined, but in my case, this is a big one for me. One minute, I can be upbeat; next minute, I can be sad. It's frustrating as hell. 5. People with ADD/ADHD may have poor planning, and can't follow directions. Especially for me, it's difficult to even follow a map.

As someone who is currently being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, this "type" of ADHD is mostly me. It's very difficult to deal with things when you just can't bring your mind and body to do them and one of the reasons is you being easyly distracted or you just starting to unintentionally daydream the whole time

This is absolutely spot on. I’m 100% the inattentive add type. Always have been and it gets viewed as being lazy by most people unfortunately. In fact this video took me about 12 minutes to get through because I randomly started daydreaming through the video and had to go back to find my place. The chores being broken down is a HUGE thing for me as well. Neurotypical people will look at a kitchen and just clean it. I physically can’t bring myself to do that. I have to divide up the work like ( left stove countertop, 15 min break, right stove countertop, 15 min break, stove top, 15 min break, sweep/ mop floors, 15 min break, gather trash and take out, 15 min break, do dishes, 15 min break, etc. It’s the only way I can function and even then I fall behind and get overwhelmed super easily. It’s only gotten worse as I’ve gotten older too. It’s really hard to deal with it and most people gloss over the ADD diagnosis as if it’s something minor when it really does affect virtually every aspect of our lives in a major way. Getting others to understand that isn’t easy, so for that I say thank you for this video

I’m autistic and always had issues with organization, lack of focus in general, initiation, and finishing tasks. Like you, I tend to break things into time chunks in order to get things done. Problem is, if I never start nothing gets done. I may be ADD as well since my experience seems to align with all the signs. I have an almost impossible task to finish any goal, let alone important ones.

Just been recently diagnosed with ADHD. And I’m usually the quiet person. So naturally people didn’t believe when I said that I think I have it. I had read that ADHD can appear to be anxiety and/or depression. I noticed that a good amount of people in my family have ADHD. So I began to wonder if my anxiety and depression was actually ADHD. Also I must mention that my anti-anxiety medication was not working. But since I’ve been prescribed ADHD medication and a mood stabilizer, I’m now in a much better place mentally. I’m finally able to push myself to go back to school.

Tip: if to-do lists don’t work for you try making a list of completed tasks aka a “done list”. You’ll feel good when you complete the task and get to put it on your list of done tasks. Or try a hybrid of sorts, set up like a pros and cons list. Put on one side what you need to do, then once completed put a check mark next to it or transfer it to the done side of the list. That way you don’t just get overwhelmed by all the tasks, you’ll be able to see what is done and what still needs to be done. I did this in high school. We worked a lot on google classroom and so I’d pin tabs of all my assignments and try to order then by due date so I knew what needed to focus on the most. Then as I worked I could turn in the assignments and the close the pinned tab and move on to the next assignment. It also helped me gauge when to take breaks better. It was also easier to re-read the assignment details and make sure on doing it right. This helped especially for English essays that had details about topic, length and format.

All people with ADHD/ADD are hyperactive. It's whether it is expressed internally or externally. There are so many factors that contribute to how you can express it. People who have social anxiety won't be hyperactive outside of their comfort zone, it then will be expressed internally, zoning out, overthinking ect. But I promise you, if that same person is in their comfort zone, they're more hyperactive than a dog at the park.

@darkdragoness5 This is sadly the case of ignorance of the condition. ADHD is an insanely conplex condition, and putting more labels on top of labels confuses the condition more and more, hence why most scientists like Dr Russell Barkley follow a more open discussion when talking about adhd. I highly recommend reading some of his literature. It's probably one of the most amazing scientists in the field.

ADHD and ADD are the same condition. It’s important to clarify that ADHD actually exists on a spectrum (the type assigned upon diagnosis only describes how you’re presenting at the time, or how you present most of the time), and an individual can present inattentive at times and hyperactive at other times, over the span of their lives. You don’t necessarily present the same throughout your whole life, especially when you have comorbid conditions like depression or autism. For more comprehensive understanding of ADHD experiences I recommend the How to ADHD channel here on KZfaq.

I brought it up to my mom and the only thing she said was "if you had that, your teachers would've said something" but in actuality, I never get noticed because I'm "the quiet kid" I always sit in the back, behind everyone. My grades are a D average for Christs sake. None of the teachers ever ask if I'm having trouble, they just get angry because I don't understand things or turn in work late. I even brought my suspicions up with my school counselor (I was seeing her for my depression issues) and made it clear that I wasn't trying to self diagnose and she said "okay, but you could also research symptoms of cancer and you could have the symptoms, it doesn't necessarily mean you have cancer. So be careful with self diagnosing-" like- I understand where you're coming from but at the same time- I feel like this is a serious conversation- who knows, maybe I am in the wrong for doing research and having suspicions - Sorry this got too long, thank you for listening, have a great day!

I'm so sorry to hear that all the adults around you sound so dismissive. I had anxiety and depression issues throughout my entire time at school, and felt like no-one ever took them seriously (even when I was having regular panic attacks around the age of 15). I'd say, looking back, that it's one of the things that contributed to me dropping out of university (not once, but twice!). Is there any way you could get some help outside of your school counsellor? Perhaps speak to a family doctor about it? Agree with other commentors about this - you know your mind and body better than teachers or parents. Wishing you all the best. ❤

I loved the explanation in this video! I think it’s incredibly important to also point out how people with ADD or ADHD aren’t always openly struggling either, people with such conditions can still be successful in classwork and workplace activities, but that doesn’t mean it is easy. I’ve seen many people (namely parents) brush off the possibility of this condition because “your grades are fine,” or “you’re not struggling in school, you’re just stressed.” or similar saying, but it’s equally as important to recognize that success doesn’t override the possibility of being challenged, etc.

I've always had this very short attention span whilst being under active and lethargic at the same time. I also daydreamed a lot. With those two parts, you stay static and find it hard to pull yourself out of your own head, therefore learning suffers, probably more than someone with the hyperactive type. I'm in my 30s now and only been prescribed amphetamines a couple of years ago. They help, sometimes massively, but I still find it hard to organise my mind to get things done. Boy do I wish it was diagnosed when I was a child

ADD is a real disorder, but the term ADD (attention-deficit disorder) is outdated. Now, the disorder that was once called ADD is called ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) In 1980, the DSM-III introduced the term "ADD (Attention-Deficit Disorder) with or without hyperactivity." That terminology (ADD) technically expired with the revision in 1987 to ADHD in the DSM-III-R. In the DSM-IV, published in 1994, ADHD with sub-types was presented. It wasn't until 1987 that the standard name of ADD was changed to ADHD. Then, in 1994, ADHD was finally broken down into the three different types, or presentations, that we have today. While many people still use the term ADD as a type of ADHD, it is no longer a formal classification in the medical community.

This video is highly appreciated because, for most of my life, I've struggled with ADD. A lot of the time, when people who don't know me see me at first glance, they may think there's nothing wrong with me. I submit my homework in on time at school, and I do what needs to be done at work with minimal supervision needed. What makes life difficult, though, is when stress takes over in one way or another, and then my symptoms start to interfere, and I have to put in more effort to either work against them or just push through like nothing's wrong.

Back when I was in school, I had really high grades but every now and then (more often than not), my tests came back with a warning (very, very innatentive!). Maths was a nightmare as I'd always replace a + with a - in the middle of the equation or lose a part of it on the way. I could hyperfocus and learn huge chunks of lessons in a really short time, but just as the video said, I would sometimes accidentally skip entire parts of tests. I used to be belittled a lot by my teachers, "focus more", they said. Now as an adult, my biggest enemy is avoiding important adult tasks, like reading a contract at the last possible moment, making important payments or finishing up work tasks. I only recently learned about ADD, and I, as an ignorant also believed that ADHD means a super hyperactive child, and not a potato like me who sits all day and starts daydreaming in the middle of a work meeting.

Excellent advice. I was diagnosed around 25 or so. Didn’t believe in medicating. My brain was pharmaceuticals back then. Figured I was smart enough and tough enough to just keep pushing through it like I had been. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I was a smart kid and able to mask well enough. in my fort and slowing down, it’s becoming impossible to keep up with everything. I’m beginning to realize I’ve basically driven myself into a very deep depressive pit trying to handle this on my own. As somebody who was incredibly shy as a kid and somebody who doesn’t like to ask for help, I think I did some serious damage that’s gonna take years of therapy, but at least I’m starting that journey now. if you think you have it, say something to adults you trust but if they claim you don’t have it, make them explain why, and look it up to verify it.

ADHD is definitely an odd thing especially depending on the person, it's sort of like a gift and a curse at the same time. like the ability to pay attention to small details when fixing stuff in my case, but then you're like easily bored by some other work or you forget why you had a glass in your hand when you needed to get a drink of water or you just zone out and stare off into the distance and then some days you just feel like the Energizer Bunny and on others you're falling apart, in my 30 years of being alive being diagnosed 20 years ago two different times originally ADD then they did a reevaluation and changed it to ADHD. I found ways to trick my brain a bit. it's a bit hard though but it takes a lot of practice and mental energy especially if you practice being mindful of your surroundings though I do understand this won't work for everyone you pretty much have to have a very strong will to overcome this and it's different for each person. I still remember the office that had me testing in with the block shapes to fit it into the right places and all the questions and stuff and the doctors were so nice, wish I could say the same for the school teachers though some of them understood what I was going through but not all of them.

I was diagnosed with ADD very young. And have struggled with it more in adult years than ever. I definitely put things that require large amounts of attention and dedication off until I just straight up forget about it. I'd also like to add, yes focusing on particular things can be very hard. However, at the same time, I can easily get tunnel-visioned on what I'm doing so hard that if I get pulled out of that hyperfocus, I straight up have to remember how to interact with everything. Like "right, I need to actually hold conversations with my co-workers." crazy how the effects can make it hard, yet so seemingly easy to focus that I can't focus on anything but what I'm focusing on. Like how I'm focusing on how weird the word focus is now.

Well, most of the time I feel overwhelmed to do them, but when I can finally do them, I get easily distracted (hw can be about Egypt and then immediately think about the aspects I can put in my webtoon, then from there develop my webtoon plot like). Plus the amount of times my mom scolded me for not doing chores, and mainly because they feel overwhelming. And the more I learn about ADHD, the more I think about my childhood and the amount of times my teacher scolded me for daydreaming, not doing homework, and even putting me in detention to do all the homework I missed.

I can listen all I want and try to learn, only problem is my memory retention is poor and I won’t be able to recall all the details. I struggled with math thoroughly in school, being unable to complete longer algebra problems from being unable to remember what I had been taught. Currently I deal with forgetfulness at work, lack of motivation and simple mistakes. Also side note I avoid learning board games/card games due to me being humiliated by not being able to participate well, being a “slow learner” There is definitely hoping in working around the struggles, praying about it and putting your best foot forward! I hope this reaches someone that might feel the same as me!

I really really wish this information had been around when i was a child. I've since been diagnosed with adult adhd (inattentive) and they said that it most likely carried from my childhood. Describing aspects of my childhood behavior, they posit that i likely had it always. Long before the other... problems were formed. In fact, a few of my mental and emotional issues likely stem directly or indirectly from this disorder. From self esteem (being constantly told off and called lazy will have that effect) to procrastination... and a few very indirect results like bullying. Not the only reason, by far, but I'm sure it has its butterfly effect on a lot of areas. It certainly didn't help. Thank you for the informative video! I'm absolutely sharing this around. 😊

It makes so much sense, I was the kind of kid who couldn't just copy exercises into a paper and do them in an hour, I'd take so much time for every exam and I'd even forget to complete parts of it.

I’ve wondered for a long time if I may have ADHD because of different struggles live had through out my life, but, being misinformed, I always wrote off my wonderments because the symptoms of ‘stereotypical’ ADHD didn’t quite fit what I was experiencing. Then, I watched this video and read some others’ experiences in the comments and it just kinda clicked. This has given me the clarity to be able to speak up out my experiences with my therapist, so thank you!

I’ve heard about adhd my entire life. Damn near all of my friends and partners had it and honestly would never let me hear the end of it… that being said I’ve actually never heard of add in my life. I almost want to cry from relief, it’s almost like a weight has been lifted. Add is a nightmare and I want to get it officially diagnosed and hopefully placed on meds asap! I’ve ALWAYS known I struggled with daydreaming and staying focused but now that I have a guide to get me on the right track mentally is a miracle cuz lord knows I can’t stay focused to save my life. I always thought there was something incredibly wrong with me or that I may be on the spectrum… which is also a possibility but I’m determined to get my mind right. Especially since I also struggle with depression and bi polar that I have been diagnosed with for years. Thank you 😭

When I was in middle school I was worried that I was lazy and the laziness was keeping my mind from focusing on things I wanted to get done. I found out a few years later that it was ADD. I just wish that I could control my focus because it is just so frustrating when you have something you know you have to get done but your brain refuses to focus on that task. I've discovered that listening to music without lyrics helps me to focus on whatever I'm doing a little better, but my brain is determined to daydream.

my understanding is that ADD is an outdated term, they kinda just lump everyone together under ADHD now. there is research being done on another attention disorder called sluggish cognitive tempo, or SCT. it's not in the DSM but it might be worth looking in to if you feel like you fit into the old ADD diagnosis.

is it outdated? i suppose so. my understanding is ADHD is HYPERACTIVE whereas ADD is the INATTENTIVE type. and then there’s the combined where you have qualities of both. I suppose you can use ADHD like an umbrella term like they said in the video. I also wouldn’t be surprised if people still use the term ADD since that’s what happens when you phase out a term, you still have the people that grew up with the word using it. Never heard of SCT, although idk if I like the term “sluggish” lol. Did the research say if it’s part of ADHD?

I didn’t know I have ADHD inattentive until my husband recently told me that my routines show a lot of sign that I’m not normal. My husband is hyper ADHD and his condition is more concerning when it comes to his routines, so I didn’t think I could have ADHD (I didn’t know there’s different types of ADHD). Thank god that I can still draw, work and focus when it comes to work. Thank you. I reflect myself and I indeed have ADHD inattentive since I was a kid… I only heard from my parents that I was a very quiet and I just started to talk when I was 4, and had slow brain development. Ahh… A bad combo to my personality: INFJ-T. I suffered depression when I was 9 due to really bad environment, society, school, parents divorce, natural disaster, riots and massacre, racism when I moved to the US. I became to improve myself at age 18 and just got to college, to yet enter depression again when my ex stepfather has been taking advantage out of us, and no one ever asked me if I needed help mentally. It had been rough. 😭

I'm glad to see more attention to ADHD. While this can be frustrating, the neurological effects can be reduced with discipline and practice. Especially when you do physical exercises; it's perhaps the best efficient way to positively help with both hyperactivity and inattention from ADHD.

I have been struggling with these symptoms & more for as far back as I can remember. Both my children, now adults, were diagnosed as children, but I didn't even know that it existed until my kids were diagnosed in the early 2000s. I didn't even put the pieces together until my daughter started sending me KZfaq shorts & videos or Facebook posts. I'm thinking about getting tested, but I feel foolish asking to get tested later in life & taking that time slot away from a child getting help.... Thank you for making these videos.

I learned to live with my ADD since i was a little kid. Its very difficult to deal with sometimes especially combined with the depression and tiredness i was dealing with a few years ago too. Im horrible at learning theoretical stuff but practical is something i pick up insanely quick. Anything practical there is, is something i can do in at least half the time other people need to pick it up. Think of driving, shooting a gun or playing a sport. But when you ask me to read a book and make a summary of it, it will take me MONTHS to do so for a simple small book, because i dont have the attention to read for long periods of time and combined with my Dyslexia its horrendous. I was very bad in school but im good at doing my job and it shows that theoretical stuff in school doesn't mean you don't understand or want to understand the practical aspects of what you are studying.

@@lucidfangirl1030 ADHD and Autism have overlapping symptoms, for example sensory issues, social issues or impulsivity. But then again, they both have symptoms that differentiate from each other. Autism has more repetitive behaviours like stimming and more difficulties with social interactions, while ADHD has more problems with inattentiveness (lack of focus and concentration) or impulsivity (blurring out and interrupting others) It kinda depends on what you’re struggling with the most. But as I said before they have a high comorbid rate, so if you have one, it is likely that you could also have the other one I hope that helps :D
