Linking ADHD to Aphantasia is pure speculation, what a shame

Based ON science.The whole point of a base is to form a foundation.If somethings OFF it's foundation, it's not BASED.

9:08 blood glucose in the frontal lobe is equated to executive functions

Btw a lot of u are just lazy and don’t have neurological ADHD

Eighth grade biology report assigned 20 pages, only assignment I was interested in doing. Ended up 120 pages. Other assignments were often completed night before due and highly stressed by the ordeal.

The Technologies of tv, movies, video games, cell phones etc..... all of the technologies that involve screens with high refresh rates are the cause of adhd. ADHD does not exist per se it is just pathologizing the normal human reaction to overstimulation. The overstimulation is being caused by the aforementioned Technologies and the fast-paced way of life. Therefore the solution to ADHD is simply to return to a more natural lifestyle to allow the dopamine levels to reach normal amounts. As long as you pathologize the normal human reaction to overstimulation than you will never find a solution.

This is a very interesting speech. I’m interested if there is research on people with ADHD and how quickly they will complete a test. I was almost always the first finished in science and maths, to the point where I completed two 3 hour exams in just over an hour in year 12, and I mean completed, with over 70% in maths.

The symptoms have been in my life forever… It’s insane how it affects my life and limits what I can get done. I wonder how different my life would be if I didn’t have it…

Guess it’s why it took me 40+ years to finish my college degree and why I can’t get off the couch now… Some successes but still struggling at 66…

Que triste no poder escuchar al doctor en Español.

This is fascinating. He is brilliant.

I have a teenage son I wonder if I can let him watch this video?

So, si there hope for a time when adults that those brain circuits work well without medication? A time when this lag in development is no longer seen . When epigenetic changes are stable

My 9 year old daughter is dealing with this. She is very bright and smart but I'm loosing my mind she won't do any of her school work😢💔

Great to learn this. Squirrel!

Try making the homework less staggeringly dry and dusty and uninspiring. Stop making non mathematical brains do math.

I’ve decided that it’s this unsophisticated, materialistic birds nest of egg box buildings and corporate lawyers and billions of bottles of Cola, that is the problem. Not me. People like me wouldn’t have built this world, it’s almost algorithmic in its incessant, greedy business.

The fuel tank thing was very ambiguous. What is it, where is it, how's it running out? The sugar fix for a problem unexplained sounded like a bit wanky. Otherwise I really loved it there was some good info in there I hadn't heard before

Taken every medication possible. Nothing helps without major side effects.

Sometimes I think about how this world is not built for me and how I would be better off not existing, fir myself and others. Why suffer? But I guess I still have some optimism.

99% of people with ADHD could only watch this video for a maximum of 60 Seconds

Enough with the human centrism already

Okay, but SIR please!? How can I fix this?

ADHD is a way of blaming students for failed teachers. To peddle drugs on children. They are just bored with your subject. They are fine when actually stimulated. Your minds are too slow for them to interact with, you are the problem.

The problem is this is a decade out of date We've learned so much more in that time and the treatment is very different now Also he's making blanket statements We don't all have time blindbess, i dont, we dont all have hyperactivity There are multiple types Im a licensed therapist btw and a Certified Service Partner for ADHD And IT IS A MOTIVATIONAL PROBLEM In fact, these days ADHD inattentive type is actually starting to be reclassified as motivation disorder So before you watch this and think that it's going to help you realize that it is significantly out of date

How and why would a two year old be given stimulant medication? I can't imagine. I'd love to read about it.

No mind's eye nor inner monologue? Are you joking me?

It would be nice if all the neuro-divergent thinkers would become teachers and principals in order to start schools that would cater best for the ADHD etc students. They know what would help them.

adhd ppl watching this attentively like he really ate that

I realize I am a motorcycle in a world of cars….smaller gas tank, higher rpm’s, joy in going but misery sitting still. YW 😊

Yes,what a relief.

"Physical exercise replenish the tank" - But I need a full tank just to put on my sport shoes!

I wish I was in the audience just to applaud.

I didn't find anything he said funny. It really sucks.

HOLY SHIT I HAVE BEEN USING THE SIPPING SWEET DRINK METHOD SINCE I WAS 14 AND I CANNOT STUDY DURING EXAM WITHOUT IT WAT

No you’re not going to tell me i have a problem with accountability?! What is this negativity?

First 20s validated so much. I have always said "I know the logic, I know what I should be doing and even how to do it. I just can't!"

This is fantastic for me and my boys. For me and them it is true that it is a performance disorder. I have people in my family however that perform great but are simply unable to listen. So I curious about types of ADD.

Completely unhelpful… I took omega3 supplement and my brain doesn’t have that achy head tired eyes feeling.

I was about to hit the dislike 20 secs in because I don’t like being told the truth.

Excellent. I am not watching the slides, just watching the speech on screen. My first video and I love this Professor;

My problem with this is the mistreatment, like identifying false positive kids and making them take drugs without justification

My goal 3 years ago was to get a job. I have tried and almost got one, but just could not motivate myself to go.

You just described me! I needed this validation. I have 2 university degrees and can't hold a job for long periods of time.

First time I am hearing this explanation! Very interesting.

Interesting that it wasn't until 2013 that a person could be diagnosed as Autistic and ADHD. #AuDHD has only been diagnosed for 11 years.

First person to explain why video games for me are no issue.
