I think it's important to acknowledge that "impairment" can look a lot of different ways, including apparently functioning but being exhausted or irritable/dysregulated because all energy is going to completing tasks.

Life changing video for psychology students!

I wish we could give you five stars. That’s usually the rating system but on KZbin it’s only a thumbs up. Thank you for all your advice you’ve been extremely helpful. I’m binge watching you for 2 1/2 days now.

Thank you so much for the video. I learned so much today and it all makes sense. My 6 yr old son has all these symptoms some are truly severe. It is really difficult to grab his attention. Although he has not been properly assessed yet, We are focusing on training him on controlling his behaviors. Some people said we should seriously consider medications. I’d love to hear your opinion about that. Thank you so much.

My pleasure. Thank you! And discuss all this with your physician.

Fantastic lecture, but do those of you watching understand that nearly ALL of the ratings scales he recommends start at about $200 EACH!!!

What about NICHQ?

[@russellbarkleyphd2023]

Not sure what you are asking here. That is a national institute for Child Health and Quality of Life
