THE TOUCH THING OMG! i swear i am the same with being touched-even accidentally. i get super irritated when someone bumps into me or uses friendly physical gestures. the food n water reminders is very relatable as well lol. super proud of the fact you’ve got a sponsor!

[@CreatureCabin]

You get me! Thank you so much

[@AvaFoxArtz]

There is a couple things I would like to say for my ADHD, but that will take too long. Though I do relate to most of these, eye contact mostly one of them since I don't like looking at the person in the eyes for too long and just try to look anywhere else. I enjoy touch, because I'm mostly touch starve and crave affection so I don't really issue with that, but I do want people ask before hugging or touching me. (Also love the cute animation!!! And you did a first sponsor, that's awesome!!!)

[@CreatureCabin]

I’m happy you were able to relate to this! I learn new things about my adhd everyday and I had hoped that people who experience similar things could feel validated and relate to this video. Thank you for taking the time to tell me :)

[@Aspen_thee_rodent]

I hate making eye contact but I ALWAYS make eye contact with strangers ITS SO ANNOYING IT MAKES ME SO UNCOMFORTABLE

[@GalaxyGamerL]

i suffer with adhd and all you said is so true i have to say food is my hardest problem because i also forget to eat

[@CreatureCabin]

Oof yeah it’s been a real issue in the past for me, but setting reminders has helped a little!

[@blizenby]

Ahhh your first sponsor!! Congrats!! And wonderful video, lots of good information and visuals. My dad has ADHD and so do a couple of my siblings, so I've oftened wondered if I have it, but I've only ever been diagnosed with Social anxiety, which probably has some crossover. Definitely feel yeah on the eye contact thing. 😂

[@CreatureCabin]

Aaah Thank you! And yeah I was never sure if my eyecontact thing was anxiety or not. I think it’s partly both!

[@choorlish]

just found your channel a little while ago and was watching a few of your videos before stumbling on this one. it always makes me so happy when i find other people with similar experience with their ADHD :) and congrats on your first sponsor!!

[@CreatureCabin]

Aw dude!! Welcome to the cabin! I hope you enjoy your stay :) I’m glad you could find my experiences relatable :D and Thank you!

[@mouseymeander]

Yoooo as someone recently diagnosed with inattentive and recently had their therapist straight up go "Yeah, cool, uh, actually, I have something else to tell you..." I don't know if you'd be interested in exploring, but you literally just described a lot of hallmark autistic traits. I WANT TO STRESS: THERE IS A LOT A LOT OF OVERLAP. SO IT MAY NOT BE. BUT IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO BE BOTH. AND YES IT IS A WEIRD CONFLICTING HELLSCAPE. I read up on a lot of good things about the RAADS test, and you can take it yourself as a kind of litmus test before deciding to get screened or not if you're curious. All that being said!!! You have a very cute style and I'm glad youtube recommended this to me. Keep up being awesome, and I wish you the best in your journey!!

[@CreatureCabin]

I’m surprised at the amount of people pointing this out to me, but I feel validated! Ive suspected that Im on the autism spectrum for the better half of a year now, and I find a lot of my experiences are better explained by autism. I realize I’m probably autistic, but unfortunately, a diagnosis is very expensive and I don’t have that kind of money right now :( as much as I would love to talk about my experiences with possibly having autism more openly, I would feel bad talking about something that I don’t have a diagnosis on. So until I have a diagnosis, I’m going to have to chalk all this up to ADHD :,) Thank you for pointing this out though, it makes me feel validated to know that even people who don’t know me personally have seen things that align with my own suspicions of me being autistic. Thank you!

[@mouseymeander]

@@CreatureCabin aww! I definitely understand, I feel the same way. I am new to it all myself, so I can't say with certainty, but I've read a lot of accounts that state that self diagnosis is valid for that exact reason. My adhd screening was ~2,000 USD, and I believe the qoute to add on ASD was the same. Thankfully ADHD was covered by my insurance, but I wasn't 100% on ASD and opted out for the time. If you want to see if it lines up more than you think, I can't recommend the self testing tools of embrace autism enough. The science seems sound, and they're fairly transparent on each tests strengths and weaknesses. It's one of the best free tools I've found, and it also gives you the test results in a pdf to bring to your dr if/when you want to go get screened. I'll link below. But, cheers to exporing what works for you! I'm glad to meet a fellow ND sib in the rainbow :D embrace-autism.com/autism-tests/

[@VENOMXINK_STUDIOS]

Me to! It kinda sucks! AND I RELATE TO THE TOUCH THING!!!!

[@macabremonsterstudios]

THE EYE CONTACY THINGGG!!! IM LITERALLY THE SAME RAAAAA!!! Although just like you I’m not sure if it’s anxiety or adhd tho lmao. And waaa I love this style of animation it’s so cuteee!!!

[@CreatureCabin]

YOU GET ME!!! And thank you so much!! I really like making this style of content so I’m happy others enjoy it too!

[@Dr.ChimeraArchives.V]

Cant wait to see if you make more storytime videos😊

[@CreatureCabin]

I hope to make more!

[@jades_a_dragon]

I was just watching some of your other videos about a day ago, and to see that you’ve posted again is great!

[@CreatureCabin]

Aww that’s so sweet :,D Thank you so much!!

[@mossyinks]

I related to a lot in this video, and a few things were kind of explained for me in here since I have adhd but never really went into researching it which I probably should some point. Loved the video great content

[@CreatureCabin]

I’m glad that this video could shine some light on other aspects of ADHD for you! It took me a long time to learn these things about myself, so if I can speed up the process for someone else, I’m taking that as win!

[@maxstickney5730]

eye contact thing omg I can relate so hard, but for me it's more I sometimes stare into the background in order to better listen to people when I feel like it's hard to focus both on listening and looking, and I'm always really worried on weather or not I look rude or not and try to mostly j do it around people I'm comfy with. also sometimes I do kinda feel overstimulated so I'll try to 'reset' kindof by pretending to sleep for like a min then going on with the day like nothing happened which, again, I only rly do around people I'm comfortable with as I don't want to look weird in front of people

[@CreatureCabin]

I do that too! Sometimes I also make too MUCH eyecontact and don’t realize it- but this usually only happens with the four people I mentioned. I haven’t heard of the reset thing; that’s very interesting! I’m glad you have people you can comfortably do this around! It’s important to have people we can be ourselves around :)

[@artsybeec]

YES 👏. I relate so much, with everything. Specially the touch and eye contact part. Glad to of found another person who has similar icks(?? Idk if thats the word im looking for ANYWAY)

[@CreatureCabin]

Aww I’m glad you could relate!!

[@criidawg]

my hands be doing that sometimes too :O

[@CreatureCabin]

I do it all the time! I’ve noticed it’s more of an anxious / upset stim for me though. My usual stims are leg bouncing, snapping, humming, and twirling a pencil in my hands but I didn’t know how to illustrate those in the way I wanted to haha.

[@plutoonium]

that intro was so fantastic it was all i needed to be convinced to sub

[@CreatureCabin]

Aww dude! Thank you so much! Welcome to the cabin, I hope you enjoy your stay!!

[@CreatureCabin]

Thank you Ben!!

Mo out here with the sponsorship, got dam

[@miles_per_gallon]

For real though, go you! And this was a very well made video, in all categories :)

[@CreatureCabin]

WAAA THANK YOU MILES :,)) ❤️❤️❤️

[@C.Fantasia]

THE EYE CONTACT! :O I always hated making eye contact when I'm talking or when someone else is talking. When people stare at me though, I will get very uncomfortable, lose my focus, and my anxiety will get bad if they stare at me for too long. Sometimes I will ask them to stop or I would just straight up yell at them because it scares the crap outta me. ;--; I'm pretty sure most kids at my school know this and some teachers know this too probably because when I talk to them, I will NEVER try to make eye contact. Girls don't normally stare at me because most girls understand BUT when it comes to the boys, oh my god that's where my anxiety will get really bad and I just start yelling at them because of how creepy it is to me. :/

[@CreatureCabin]

Eye-contact can be very anxiety inducing! It’s difficult to deal with, but you just gotta keep swimming! 🐠

[@C.Fantasia]

@@CreatureCabin Hey! :D It's been a few months since I watched your videos and I saw your newest video about leaving. :( But I understand Mo, I'm not mad, just sad because you're one of my favorite KZbinrs and I'm still watching your videos. Eye-contact (still), sensation (a new thing I discovered), touch.. (meh not really because I'm a very huggable person and always have been but I don't enjoy anyone or strangers in general touching me). Now I'll give a reason or two why. 👇🏻 Eye-contact: the same problem so there's nothing new. Sensation: I don't enjoy touching certain things and whenever I touch things I don't like, I get really grossed out and will immediately clean my hands. (I think it’s just my OCD but it’s like that 😅). Clothes aren't necessarily a sensational problem for me though. However, sound IS another sensational issue for me because loud noises tend to give me headaches and I easily get scared when there's loud noises like yelling, screaming, slamming doors or objects, etc. Touch: I absolutely LOVE hugs and giving hugs! :) But I hate when people touch me without my permission, even when its friends or my family, I still hate people touching me without my consent. 🥲It just makes me feel very uncomfortable.

[@larablack7095]

Mo!!! Such a good video, very captivating watch ❤❤

[@CreatureCabin]

Lara 🥺🥺❤️❤️ thank you so much babes, ily!! Can’t wait to see you soon

[@crimsonsilvermoon]

I have ADHD and have those symptoms, though some of the symptoms are also shared with autism (which is a good chance that I also have that) Something to note is I am undiagnosed sadly.

[@CreatureCabin]

Yeah I’ve looked into the possibility of me being on the autism spectrum since I know a lot of adhd symptoms are common in autism aswell; however a diagnosis is very expensive and I don’t have that kind of money ^^;

[@crimsonsilvermoon]

@@CreatureCabin fair

[@PizzA_TimE]

I’m pretty sure I have ADHD and one sign I definitely have is hyper fixating on ONE THING until I move on to the next, specifically shows…so glad I don’t watch anime..

[@CreatureCabin]

Yes hyperfixation is a big part of my life too!

[@PizzA_TimE]

@@CreatureCabin Got dang, it sucks

[@Kaoshihimura9]

I have ADHD and I remember what I believe it was a doctor that did a video on KZbin that said "you meet one kid with adhd and you've met one kid with ADHD". Meaning we are all different. I relate to some of the touch part and some of the no eye contact thing. But quite a bit of this sounds autistic 🤔. Although it isint uncommon for people with autism to have adhd and vice versa. Other than these thoughts in my head lol. I really like the video! 😁😃

[@CreatureCabin]

Ahah yeah I know im probably autistic, but a diagnosis is expensive and I can’t afford one at this point in my life, so I’d feel bad talking about it as if I DO have a diagnosis. A lot of people have been pointing this out to me haha, makes me feel validated :)

[@SilverSpike-kk9dk]

I have a sneaking suspicion that I have autism; I’m not completely sure and I’m still doing research on it but it would explain a lot of things I’ve felt this extreme sense of isolation damn near my own life, everyone points out my “odd” behavior but as soon as I try to find a reason why I act that way they look at me like I’m crazy

[@CreatureCabin]

I totally understand. I hope you can find comfort in autism being a possibility to explain some things in your life. A diagnosis or even just researching these things can be very helpful for many people!

[@kaynickie6725]

First of all, I also have ADHD and I feel this entire video so hard. Second, YOU GOT SPONSORED LETS GOOO Have you been sponsored before? Like I'm not on youtube as much as I used to be because I'm an adult now... gross. But like- even if this isnt your first sponsor I'm so happy that you're big enough to get sponsors!

[@CreatureCabin]

I’m so happy you can relate haha! Also Thank you! Very excited about it :)

ITS FINALLY HERE!!!

[@sugarflurzz]

Since I barely got diagnosed with anxiety and depression few months back (I’m 18 sobs)) I’m starting to realize how some things sound familiar here and wonder if I gotta explore myself more :0

[@CreatureCabin]

It makes me happy to know that this video could help you possibly realize something about yourself! I hope you’re doing okay, I know I was a bit of a mess when I got diagnosed with depression and anxiety at first. Take care!!

[@sugarflurzz]

@@CreatureCabin thank you Mo!! And I hope you’re doing okay too

[@badoomching]

3:00 I have something with feeling or even imagining a sensation I've felt before that makes me go 'HHVHGVHGVHGVGFC' like there's a specific (omfg even just typing this out is making me clench my fists and move my fingers about rapidly) way where you bend your pointer finger tip back a bit and have your middle finger tip over it and HADHBSHJHVJJH IT I HATE IT I DONT KNOW WHY I hate the feeling of finger nails being pulled back or my finger tips feeling sweaty and ths is both of those feelings combined and enhanced andI genuinely can't deal with it

[@badoomching]

Also 3:20 reminds me of when I went to the Vegan Festival with my crush and her friend who I was also kinda friends with went to one of the concerts there and both of them squeezed past people to get to the front and I said I really didn't wanna go so they went and I sat by myself. I was next to one of the speakers and couldn't move away cuz there were so many people so for a few minutes I just sat there and yknow when something's so loud that the S sounds pierce your eardrums? That was happening a lot and I started crying from the intensity then left to go back to the tend and draw while listening to Cavetown. Awhile later after me and my crush stopped talking, her friend who also used to have a crush on her and who I told that I liked her said that my crush told me it wasn't a good idea cuz said crush wasn't the best person, she then told me my crush was mad that I didn't join her and her friend at the concert and was also mad I wasn't vegan (I wanted to be and was pescatarian at the time but my parents didn't wanna deal with that since they make the meals for the family everyday and couldn't afford to change it) Uhh I've been typing for a while I'm really sorry but this video really resonates with me and I really need to get tested for Anxiety, ADHD and Autism.........

[@CreatureCabin]

Haha don’t apologize! I’m glad you could find this relatable :D

Haha rest assured I have eaten!! I appreciate it

[@wowmomlonesome5649]

a lot of the "ADHD traits" you are listing (routine, sensory issues, ect) are actually autistic and are rarely linked to JUST having ADHD (I have ADHD and autism). You should look more into that!

[@CreatureCabin]

Yeah I’m aware. I’ve been looking into my experiences for the better half of a year now and I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m probably autistic :) however, a diagnosis is very expensive and I can’t afford it at this point in my life.

[@breadsticks4751]

The eye contact thing is definitely ADHD, I’ve struggled with it since middle school and it especially sucks in professional settings, that combined with my touch issues of uncomfortable clothing makes interviews a NIGHTMARE for my adhd

[@CreatureCabin]

I totally understand haha

[@clone9180]

no offence, but so much of this reminds me of my autism, like a lot

[@CreatureCabin]

I don’t find that offensive :) I’ve been doing research on my ADHD for the better half of a year and I’ve come to terms with the idea that I’m probably on the autism spectrum as well. However, a diagnosis is very expensive and I don’t have that kind of money right now haha
