You don't have ADHD, you have Tiktok

[@gibustheinfamous]

My favorite part about this is that you have ADHD.

Funny set (and the Tiktok comment is bang on the money, that shit's destroying everyone's brains). But, as someone diagnosed with ADHD lucky enough to be diagnosed aged 7, I'm not sure Rhys appreciates the obvious context. It's now a frankly ludicrous (featuring Mys... ah never mind) three year waiting list just to get an NHS referall to start the process for a diagnosis. A few of my friends have exactly the same issues I do, but didn't have parents who gave a shit when they were a kid. They've have been told by a doctor that they probably have adhd and have been stuck on the waiting list for two years since their GP referral. Given the context, is it really a shock people are self-diagnosing? Love your work usually Rhys, and this is still admittedly a well-crafted set, but it feels a little more mean-spirited than usual.

Oh yeah fair play. the final line of this set is a reveal that I have ADHD, so that sort of helps explain the frustration in the rest of the bit....

[@kristiantyrrell]

@@RhysJames ah, that defo changes the context a bit lol, I'll have to check out the full thing :) Oh also, COYS 😁

[@RhysJames]

@ to clarify I mean this vid! The piglet from babe line. Sad week to be COYS :(

[@kristiantyrrell]

@@RhysJames ohhh that's funny, I heard you say that and started thinking about how the monkey from friends must've died ages ago (maybe that GP wasn't mistaken when he told me I was a 'textbook case' haha) Rough decade to be COYS, in all fairness :((

[@stocktonjoans]

not the point, long waiting times don't change the fact self diagnosis isn't a valid diagnosis

Can someone explain the "free laptop" joke?

[@vegetablemannn]

When I was at University (UK, 2010-13), if you got diagnosed with ADHD or dyslexia you'd get a free Mac book or iMac. Loads of my friends pretended to have it for that reason

LMFAO

[@luttman23]

dude the link doesn't work, the website's down

[@RhysJames]

It’s working fine for me?

[@jamesmartello1]

Hahahahaha!!! Awesome set!!

[@djkhemix]

I think you're hilarious usually but I don't understand the joke that understanding the Babe joke means you have ADHD. If anything, making the connection is a hint that you might not have ADHD because you've been able to follow a basic succession of ideas without getting distracted enough to not understand the joke, no? Am I missing something? Btw I'm one of these adults (35 years old) who has self-diagnosed myself as having ADHD but I at least have spoken to a medical professional on the phone who told me I most likely do. Only issue is that its been close to two years and I'm still on the waiting list for an official diagnosis. I don't use Tik Tok either so your theory is falling apart at the seems... oh how do you actually spell that word? *googles it* Oh it's 'seams'. Fuck I'm getting distracted again.

[@RhysJames]

It's the fact I know what babe is up to now that shows I have ADHD, as I got too distracted during the test and googled animals in films where are they now. Naturally, no issue with ADHD. Just an angle on the pseudo-scientific cynical online questionnaires that are pure confirmation bias bait.

[@djkhemix]

@RhysJames Cool. Thanks for explaining. I didn't realise you had ADHD hehe. Massive fan. So cool to get a reply from you!
