Children with adhd are also incredibly creative, social butterflies who get along with anyone of any age, and have a supurb passion for life. I have ADHD and so does my son. Having it myself, I've been able to be extremely understanding and compassionate with his behaviour, while also knowing how to manage it. And he is such a BEAUTIFUL kid. Everyone who's ever known him feel the same way. ADHD is not a disadvantage, just a difference. If you can understand them and how their brains work, you can nurture them them in way that brings out all the best parts of that.

When I was 5-14 everybody thought I had adhd cause I couldn't stop moving, I was forgetful and couldn't concentrate. The only reason was because I was still growing in because of puberty. I am nothing like I was as a kid. I do have social anxiety but that is not caused of adhd, besides I have already had it checked at a clinic and I was told I didn't have it.

My boys have Autism and I have ADHD and I'm starting to not understand the difference in the two. There's so much overlap. Especially because Autism is such a big spectrum. For us the difference is a lack of social awareness and sensitivity to others that my boys have. I don't have that. I'm overly concerned with caring for others feelings and we'll being. This includes strangers. I hate hurting anyone's feelings or inconveniencing others. My boys are BLUNT and work in their own time frame, doing what they're interested in and nothing else. They don't answer to their names. You will repeat their names 10 times in a row before you get their attention. No exaggeration. I don't have this issue. They have difficulty with eye contact and get stuck on their preferred topic of the moment. My boys also stim a lot which I don't do but I do have to wear headphones a lot to soften noises and certain things like fans blowing on me or really bright lights agitate me. I thought those sensory issues were more common with Autism then ADHD? Anxiety disorder is another diagnosis of mine and that might be contributing to my sensory issues?

[@peterdoneganmusic]

Did they have to make this video so dark and dystopian?? It feels like all these kids are gonna turn into vampires or something. ADHD does not have to be so depressing and negative. As a parent of a child on then autism spectrum and ADHD, you cannot say that all these things in this video work for every child. The U.K. like to try and cover everyone under one umbrella for cost cutting reasons and as such if people on the spectrum and/or with ADHD don't fit perfectly within the required pigeon hole, they get lost in the system as no-one is trained in the UK on the NHS to accurately deal with these people as individuals. For a better understanding of ADHD please see peoples channels on KZbin who actually live with the condition like 'How to ADHD'.

Thirdly, the secret that saved my life from the torment of uneducated teachers. Artemis Fowl taught me this one. It's just something that works for me. When it becomes hard to concentrate, or it is too easy to concentrate on the wrong thing, or I just can't stop fidgeting, I wiggle my big toe back and forth. A very temporary distraction. Wiggling my toe takes my attention just long enough to bring me back to where I need to be and isnt easily noticed by those who might antagonize.

[@pureheartedassassin8865]

I never knew I had adhd.. I do notice I couldn't pay attention in classes.. especially the memory learning class like the teacher shows you sentences and then erases a few of the words so you can try to remember them this is when I was 7-8 YO. My teacher was also not helping because I was slow in learning and she always mocked me.. like one time the "A student" was surrounding her and she called me to write my name on a paper and at that time I still didn't know which one was "d"and "b". My name is supposed to have double "d" but I wrote it "bb" and she said to the "A students".. "look at her.. she can't even tell which one is b and d" I was so embarrassed but I didn't show it to them and act like I don't care. When I think back she shouldn't be a primary school teacher because she can't understand a student and actually the most selfish human being I've ever seen. One time my friend had an accident.. she was pushed by someone while playing "tag" after school and she fell onto the parking curb and broke some flower pots. She lost her front teeth and had to wear fake teeth since she was 7-8YO. After that incident I was hanging out with my (injured) friend during break time when we passed by our teacher. She didn't even ask if my friend was okay or anything. The first thing she said was "don't you forget to tell your mom to pay me back because you broke my flower pots" at that time I didn't notice how selfish she was. Until I grew up thinking back how messed up that was. She was a PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHER...

My son is turning 7 and he has developmental delays and features of autism. I feel like I am still in denial and I didn't went back to see his neuro dev pedia. But all the symtoms shown here matches his and even his OT would say he is more on the ADHD side rather than autism. I really try my best to help him and today I just saw he got zero in spelling. It angers me and frustrates me but at the same time made me feel bad because my child ia going through this and always ask myself how can I help him. He is more into outdoor activities like swimming, football, running like all those type. He loves muic and loves to dance too. I'm just sad because he needs academics in his life and without that what will be hia future like? So sorry to hear about what happened to you on that age and it ia really important for teachers at this day and age that they will learn to see these type of disabilities in children. It will be really helpful for the parents too.

[@pureheartedassassin8865]

@@bubblygirlduddett3 You kid will appreciate if you could be more helpful instead of punishing. When I was a kid.. I feel like I was stopid.. just because I can't remember anything (Memory learning) like days/dates and even like simple sentences. My parents never punish me when I fail. They just think I will be better one day.. maybe because they never stop believing in that and continue to help me learn.. at the age of 10 I started to have self awareness, I can read and write even going on school activities. I still have a little trouble with pronouncing words at that time but the improvement that counts. Maybe teach him the way he is interested in.. Like for me, I like to have fun while learning, visual, conversation and no pressure. This is observed by my teacher too.

My son had lack of oxygen before birth, wrong birth position, cord wrapped around his neck twice, 27 + hours without waters before birth. Nhs never said this is risk for adhd. However doctors in Russia said it is absolutely risk factors of adhd and my son suffered brain injury at birth (based on his ultrasound, EEG, and other tests). It is not always genetic and birth risks should always be taken very seriously.

Greetings! My brother, who is 11yrs old, has all of the symptoms that were spoken about in the video. He was born premature and had low birth weight. He behaves a lot less like children his age and has difficulty concentrating on anything. However, he is able to concentrate (only for a few minutes) on things like video games, cartoons, etc. How is it possible that things like cartoons, etc hold his attention, while he's not able to concentrate on studies? Also, what can be done to improve his concentration levels? Will his adhd ever get better? Will he be able to lead a normal life as he grows up? Pls answer these questions.

I can tell you why he can focus on games its because it stimulates his brain.My son is awaiting second assesment for ADHD he has been reffered by his school because he had difficulties in school with concentration and following instructions , for us he was always like that and we put that down to his young age and energy levels, however any given homework is major task like 5 words to write takes 45 minutes and its major tantrum pretty much day in day out.Try to search on YT why children with ADHD can focus on games and not on homework that really opened my eyes

[@F.NCrimson]

i'm a 15 y/o normal teen. in my school we have this one particular period when only some of the chosen 9th grade students have to be in pairs and each pair has to lead one group of 7th grade students and share our knowledge, talk with them and perhaps just spend time with them as seniors. in my group, there's this one weird junior who's diagnosed with ADHD, and i've only known this recently. before i knew, i've always wondered why he acts so strange, why he can be very rude at times, why he misbehaves a lot, why he doesn't listen nor pay attention to me whenever i'm talking and why he swears a lot more than me despite the fact that he's two years younger. this behaviour was definitely inexcusable for me at first, but now that i've watched this video, i think it's only right for me to try to empathize with his condition, especially since i am his senior after all.

[@helenjameson9659]

Dreadful video, full of misunderstandings surrounding ADHD. For example, the speaker says that ADHD is more common in boys - this is statement is misleading as many studies show girls and boys are equally likely to have ADHD but it is far less frequently DIAGNOSED in girls because they often present differently and are often less disruptive at school than their male counterparts. The disruption at school is often what triggers a referral and subsequent diagnosis, hence girls with ADHD are underdiagnosed. I also take issue with the statement that children with ADHD always do badly at school. Whilst it is true that ADHD usually causes children to underachieve academically, this is relative to their intelligence. It is common for a highly intelligent child with ADHD to do well enough to go to university and graduate, albeit with a lower grade than they would undoubtedly be capable of if they did not have ADHD.

One thing I observed about this ADHD that I found really strange is, isn't it interesting how ADHD kids can't focus in class but they have no problem focusing for hours on something they love, like video games? What kind of "neurological problem" would create problems with focus selectively? At any rate, since I have symptoms myself, I tried doing some deliverance in Jesus' name to see if it worked -- and yep! Yawned at least 10 times, and then I was able to work on a project I had severe issues concentrating on FOR YEARS. Praise God, praise Jesus! The psychiatrists and psychologists act like they know everything, but in this case, they really don't.

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

Hyperfocus is part of ADHD, it's the flipside of not being able to pay attention for long periods, it's like the brain zeroes in on something and then that's it, I think it's repetitive tasks as that's what I find when something is repetitive I can focus as long as it's not monotonous. I also believe in Jesus, sometimes we need more help than just prayer and deliverance. For those that works for I thank God but for those it doesn't work for they shouldn't feel ashamed to seek professional help and we shouldn't be judgmental about that either.

When he is on his tablet he is so focused but not when doing his homework or studying. He just keep on making the same mistake very often and he forgets important things.

Here's a quote for you--- This week’s item is from the Orlando Sentinel, with the headline: 'Mental Health Professionals Battle Mental Disease:' Many mental health professionals, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists and nurses have waged, or are waging their own battles against a mental disease. Studies have found that psychiatrists have the highest suicide rate among physicians, and a 1994 survey of psychologists found almost two-thirds had battled clinical depression, 84% had spent time in therapy, and 29% of psychologists had felt suicidal at some point. Mental illness among therapists is more common than in the general population.

Thank you so much for adding your thoughts. That's very tough and is an experience we hear about very often with adults who didn't get early intervention to help them thrive as they deserved. It's really why the founders of Nip in the Bud were set up - to ensure that any child whose brain happens to work differently is empowered with the knowledge about how they work and so do the adults around them (including the education system - which is still very behind in understanding how to support children living neurodiverse lives. If you dont mind me asking what difference do you think it would have made to you had things been different?

[@thesoundmindgarden1306]

Children need to be outside for at least 3 hours per day from early childhood to develop their vestibular system. Vestibular system deficiency manifests itself as an imbalance in postural control muscles' activation, which causes an inappropriate postural condition. This postural imbalance will lead to severe cognitive problems such as problems in paying attention to the task, which is more common in children with ADHD. There has been a study done that over the last 30 years, children fidget way more, and have less attention span. With the rise of screens, shortening recess, parents who don't have the opportunity to take them out because they are busy..Children need movement to develop. Keep children moving. I am honestly not sure that all these diagnoses are right. I am no doctor, but it is alarming how many diagnoses exist in the US, and they don't exist in other countries. Once children are told there is something "wrong" with them, it carries with them all their life.

It's a misconception that ADHD is more common in boys. The reason it appears more common in boys is because most of the research focuses on the presentation of ADHD in boys, and unless girls are able to show symptoms so obviously they don't often meet the criteria that is largely suited to diagnosing boys. Girls present ADHD in a very different way, often internalising many of their traits and become very good, very quickly, at masking and copying their neurotypical peers in social situations. ADHD traits in girls are often misdiagnosed as depression or anxiety disorders and this is why there is now a generation of women, who have been failed, and are being diagnosed with ADHD in later life. ADHD is equally as common in girls as is it is in boys, it is medical misogyny that has made the condition more common in boys.

Very negative video. Awful!!!! Adhd isn't all negative and bad. There are many great and positive things about it as well. Pity that they didn't think to put it in the video. I Hope no children and parents of children who are newly diagnosed with adhd or suspect that their child might have adhd sees this. What an awfully negative way to explain and educate people about adhd. 😢

What's with the depressing and scary background music? ADHD is not a horrible disease their brains just work differently, us as adults can learn to work around them. this music makes it sound like a horrible thing

[@queline213]

It is a horrible disease. I work with kids in schools and it interferes with their learning and they often get into trouble as some are defiant and impulsive. Not all, but most I've worked with as a therapist. I wouldn't want any of my children with this disorder. But the good thing as most symptoms decrease and go away the older they get.

I have never been diagnosed but I'm pretty sure I had it as child but as adult I'm perfectly fine. In my opinion, the worst thing to do is medicaid a child. I believe my son is the same way. But whatever it is, what it is, he'll be fine in life. It's over emphasized for some reason.

[@Grissyboy]

Im utterly confused As a little kid i was baissecly gifted I lerned how to read at 5 years old before even going to school and spell and a very high level Suddenly at maybe 11 years old it all started to snap for me Everything became boring and it became worse in middle school. I started to not understand a things of what my teachers were saying and in highschool i didnt get the best grades in my native launguege subject and found out later at 16 years old of my ADD (adhd) now im 17 with still same struggles but graduated. Still confused if this is normal for my symptoms or if ADD can just come to you later on?

[@rhombamcfierson]

I really don’t like this video. In fact, I kinda hate it. Why are children with adhd being objectified like this? “They may be more destructive” please. People with adhd (myself included) are also incredibly kind people with huge hearts. They tend to be smarter. While it can be a challenge, it doesn’t need to be described with this depressing music in the background. People with adhd are often extremely smart, kind, funny, and creative.

Please reduce screen time for your kids! Max 30min per day, 1hour in the weekend. This will help a lot to prevent ADHD

Please research first before writing judgemental nonsense.

[@evelinac2423]

@@stormyyclouds I will stay to my opinion, because of personal experience. Many things stated by doctors on various topics were revised with passage of years. In USA compared to Germany, Finland, Japan the levels of ADHD are more than double in children. I leave in Germany and upon moving here saw a drastic change in behaviour of kids.

Also, my learning ability was not effected. Your patience, and ability to teach comprehensibly was tested. I pick up new skills like Jeff Bezos picks up dollars, often and with passion. You might think you helped us, but you just gave every bad teacher a plethora of excuses to send the adhd kids to isolation rooms. Which is not good. I don't think I need to describe the problem with using torture methods on children. You described children like if you fed them at midnight theyd eat you. Who hurt you? What significant other had adhd and used it as an excuse too many times? Punishments dont work with adhd, so STOP SETTING A BIAS PRONE TO CAUSING PUNISHMENT PRETTY PLEASE.
