Dan Dubovsky - Comparing ODD, ADHD, and FASD

[@wesleyy1691]

I've never heard of ODD until now, i need to do more research. Thanks for sharing

[@dlo111]

Every teacher should have these the time to learn this, they should also have manageable class sizes.

[@aliasgirl9]

This is GOLDEN!!!

[@tinabeaver]

Excellent! Concise, precise, and valuable. Thank you! My child lives with FASD and many, many other disorders.

[@sleepwalker29]

So you admitted to abusing your child and have no remorse. Wow!

[@ellenfisher3792]

Or maybe they adopted/fostered?

[@PrettyYEGBaby]

Very good info, was clear to me. I seriously think my child who was diagnosed with FASD has ADHD & ODD as well. I just want help for my child 😫

[@Emma_French20]

I have been diagnosed with fasd

[@abbeyawesome1012]

I have high functioning fasd and fasd is brain damage while the mom drinks during pregnacy

[@PrettyYEGBaby]

I know that. My daughter is adopted

[@jollyeducatorneighbour7817]

I found this very helpful. Thank you

[@sarahmitchell3086]

What if you have a child that has been diagnosed with all 3?

[@Cuddlingus]

i cant tell if I have fasd, my face seems like it, and my memory is pretty poor, you can ask me to do something, but i can only recall half of it if its not written down but i get distracted easy too, im convince almost i just have both FASD and adhd, currently i am being tested for auttism as I have a lot of sensory issues, meltdowns, outbursts and PTSD emotional dysregulation

[@devonclose2606]

From someone who has both ADHD AND ODD.. or at least that's what they said. I'm 30 now and more I learn about this more I am like yeah I understand why they said I got them lol.. but I've only been meditated one time in my life ages 6-8. It sucks man since im older I know how to control them both and I would rather smoke weed to help then take any pills.. If you know something else that could help let me know anyone.. remember NO PILLS...

The information about ADHD was presented in good faith, alas it is not entirely correct. An ADHD individual could have issues with executive functioning that can indeed cause them to have failure to retrieve encoded information. ADHD isn't just getting distracted by butterflies, there are serious EF problems that lead to struggles with attaining goals; both unimportant and trivial, and important life goals. Also, I hate to be that guy, but honestly I AM that guy... I know what you are trying to get across when you say "as we all know, ADHD is one of the most overdiagnosed mental illnesses, and also the most underdiagnosed" This is statistically an incoherent statement. You could say the symptoms are easily mistaken for other disorders and other disorders for it; but not only does that denote some level of misunderstanding what overdiagnosis means. Mistaking one disorder for another when symptoms would suggest someone has that illness is technically not an "overdiagnosis". It's a misdiagnosis. There are symptoms present, and they get mistaken for another illness. Over-diagnosis would be more on the "true" averages vs how much we diagnose and treat the illness. So if people are being misdiagnosed often, but a large portion of people who really DO have the condition are not getting diagnosed, that is not overdiagnosis.

[@eeeeeeee2792]

He said no co occurring disorders

[@georgemclaughlin3197]

Yup I got diagnosed with adhd at 23. Was told throughout school that I just didn’t care & I wouldn’t focus. The medication & clarity have been game changing.

[@shivamsharma7084]

People ARE overdiagnosed with ADHD for sure. Just like people who use phones as an unhealthy coping mechanism, often say they are 'addicted' to their phones, but in reality they don't have physiological or psychological dependence on it. Give them something else, and they will start using that thing to cope with. And it is also underdiagnosed, for example people with ADHD are also not diagnosed with it. Both of these things co exist. And at the same time, it is often misdiagnosed as well.

[@Emma_French20]

I have been diagnosed with fasd

[@shannoncogswell5664]

:'''-(

[@abbeyawesome1012]

I have fasd

[@lookingupwithwonder]

This is not necessarily true as adhd has working memory deficits too.

[@josephdavis3472]

@GD Player No, executive function disability which occurs in ADHD is not just about "getting distracted". Yes, ADHD people do TEND to get distracted, but to be so reductive as to say all of their executive function problems (which they share with autistic individuals who DO NOT get as easily distracted) are simply a result of distraction is so philistine with regards to understanding mental health holistically. Your understanding seems to be that mental health is just about assigning behavior to neatly kemt boxes instead of trying to actually understand.

[@Art-By-Aly]

I have FASD , and more than not, the task is gone after the first task.

[@Art-By-Aly]

I'm 44 years old and just now being diagnosed

[@LifeSavingDefense]

Mom treated all the answers with a positive reenforcement. She would say something which had the meaning of “If you don’t do what I tell you I’m positive I will get you to pick out a switch.” Too many “disorders” today to explain away why children don’t follow rules. I am not a fan of switching as I don’t think hitting a child is very positive but stern punishment for bad choices and positive rewards for good choices teach kids the rules. Providing actual hard fast rules and answers provides road maps in the brain for children to make good quick choices. You were born a boy. You are a boy. You will do your homework or we can do it together or punishment. Doing homework and learning something are two different things. We must spend time with children to help them learn and to know whether or not they are actually learning. That way they know you actually care and children who feel loved are more apt to do what they are told and learn how to learn.

[@georgemclaughlin3197]

Your whole post is disgustingly ignorant. Too many “disorders” lmfao what an arrogant comment you should be ashamed of yourself

[@shivamsharma7084]

Stern punishment for bad choices is literally a bad idea (in this case) because these children have a disorder that impairs their ability to willingly, or purposefully do something.

[@shivamsharma7084]

'you were born a boy you are a boy'. NO. How tf are you gonna tell the child WHAT the child feels 🤣

[@sarahmitchell3086]

What if you have a child that has been diagnosed with all 3?
