Did anyone else automatically check the time stamp just to make sure if u had to capacity to take it all in first? Glad it's not long and is precise. I just wish the there was an actual picture video to match.

[@adm_ezri]

the link to the full vid is in the description (17 mins so it's still not _terribly_ long)

[@latriciajohnson4281]

Yep!

[@csababalogh7028]

she has a channel, her videos are a lot more entertaining.

[@adm_ezri]

@@csababalogh7028 yup, her vids on How to ADHD are very well made

[@timpalladino3408]

Busted. It’s amazing how my brain won’t let me watch a 20 minute video but two 15 minute is totally fine. Lol

[@devrajsrivastav49]

Glad to see her back again , she's an angel for all adhd'ers 😎

[@GerritADHS]

Hey Jessica, I don’t know if you’ll ever read these lines but I’m so grateful for your content. It makes me feel more “normal” and seen. Your content was one of the inspirations for me to produce content in German as there wasn’t much. Your talk is so relatable. It perfectly links the facts the audience needed to have with your emotions. You can be proud of yourself 😊

[@MrCrunsh]

The talk from Jessica McCabe changed my life. After her Talk is started looking for help and found a doc, who gave me a medication, that helped me to find my way in this world. It also helped me to understand how my ADHD influences my life and how i can find a way to live with this.

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

Hyperactivity and impulsiveness: being unable to sit still, especially in calm or quiet surroundings. constantly fidgeting. being unable to concentrate on tasks. excessive physical movement. excessive talking. being unable to wait their turn.

[@Verity2true]

Jessica's channel helped to change my life, starting ADHD treatment at 36. Still been a rough journey since, but I have so much more compassion for myself now, rather than thinking I failed all the therapy and was always going to fall short of my potential. I am forever grateful Jessica

[@kindlekindlefire5774]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@gregorywalter3478]

I've had ADHD my whole life... God bless you amazing speech

[@wcboyd8307]

Jessica, thank you so much for your commitment helping all who have adhd and those who live those who have it...

[@wubz_z4435]

[@sandrafemalelu4704]

I’ve heard your story before and it’s amazing story my daughter has ADHD and I never know cause I never heard off it until she turned 10 years old so I couldn’t understand why she behaved the way she did until then I bought books on it too understand about ADHD she is growing up now and yes she does think outside the box and yes I always tell her shes beautiful and a lot you said is so true so thank you for your story it’s inspiring ❤️

[@bruceleeyourface3253]

You’re just a bad parent. Good job ruining your daughter

[@VaLGlory]

Thank you for understanding me! ⭐

[@xyliaervin]

I was diagnosed with ADHD.

[@aaronduerst]

her activism for adhd is great. i was diagnosed at the age of 9 or so, and i always experienced people acting understanding of the condition, but then treating it like it can be juat turned of. like: oh you got adhd, dont worry i underatand. now please stop acting like it.

[@vaidehi3582]

Hey..You are not alone🌸❣️

[@ResilientGrind]

ADD here as well 😃👍 not quite ADHD, I missed this too when picking it ⬆️😃 love people 😍

[@_NekOz]

ADD nowadays is called Inattentive ADHD. Otherwise there is Hyperactive ADHD and Combined ADHD.

[@Verity2true]

We still have hyperactivity, but it is internalised, usually racing thoughts and in particular anxious thoughts, and for me it turns into emotional dysregulation and perfectionism. Or we hyperfocus on reading or researching a topic we love. Hope you are well

[@silvermist2783]

I'm from Ghana Please can anyone help me find a place for diagnosis and treatment

Hi Jessica, so our wings vibrate at higher speeds than the neuro-normies, They're loss.

I was prescribed Adderall in grade 3, I was given 100mg in the morning, 80mg at lunch and 100 mg at night to about 13 years old, I was a problematic aggressive and when provoked extremely violent child. Struggled with staying on task a lot due to the fact I didn't find a lot of school subjects interesting.

have you watched KGF CH-2, ? watch it and give feedback back here

[@richardmiddleton7770]

I happen to disagree that it's not about diet, technology etc. The problem is getting children to eat the right things, exercise correctly everyday, get 8+ hours actual sleep a night and stay off their phones, games consoles and TV's close to bed time. This is in the hands of the parents and I'm telling you now, in this day and age, it's IMPOSSIBLE! When they go upto high school, FORGET IT, the damage is done!

[@labakanurzidil2464]

i disagree, why should i accept neurotypical dictature ?!!!! i thought people should communicate, not that they "surely" expect only i will obey their reckless dictature, which is maybe also just a strategy of (their) ego, they are just trying what will who accept, how much will people let their ego inflate on costs of their ego?

[@andromedanative6677]

FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME, I've read studies that many of these neurological disorders stem from AFS, does any else know of these studies?

[@josephhoward4697]

FAS is a whole different thing

[@andromedanative6677]

@@josephhoward4697 I didn't say it wasn't, just saying when I was studying this, it was brought up in a conversation about how back then 15 years ago they belived many of these syndromes may (((stem))) from AFS, is all.

[@andromedanative6677]

@@Outstanding_Gal Thats what I am trying to find out, its been many years sincevI studed in this field, what I am curious about is what is the cause, is it genetic, is it trigger through unkna gene, viral, chemical, tissue damage in brain, what studies or info is there on the cause of this?

[@TheVigilante2000]

Too long. Did not listen. Who you making this for?

[@Verity2true]

I'm sorry are you making fun of people with ADHD, because if you had ADHD you would not be making that comment
