ADHD in a nutshell: You know what to do, when to do and how to do things but you cannot DO it. And you know that you can do it but at the same time you also know that you cannot do it. I think only ADHD sufferers understand what I'm saying.

What he (and many others) describe is SYMPTOMATOLOGY. It is not a set of genetic biological markers but the synaptic connections are certainly profitably targeted! It is embarrassing to the point of pure vomit. It is not based upon our understanding of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, our autonomic regulatory state. There is NO SCIENCE in his interpretative.

I wish I would have heard all of this talk when raising my kids. My oldest son was such a struggle and I asked therapists for help, including psychiatrists. When I told them what I have experienced with selfregulation and impulsivity, etc, even presenting examples like the difference between computer games and homework, they ignored everything. They always gaslighted me as mother for being "too loving". And they told me that I talk too much with him when asking what he feels and thinks. He will be 40 next year and has still not found a stable partnership or other emotional stable situation. He still needs direct consequences to do well. Since he was about 21, he does have good friendships and knows many people. He still overreacts, but his friends just accept this as a personal trait.

I keep having to turn it off and walk away get control of myself, get some hugs then come back. Even worse that you son is disabled. Like DR.

rosasutubechannel I don’t think of it as being disabled. I think of it as being enabled to find different ways to accomplish something. How do you bake a cake? Wheat flour, sugar, ingredients, a bowl, whisk, pan, oven and oven mitts etc. For me ADHD is trying to bake a cake with out wheat flour, a whisk and oven mitts. I am able to bake the cake because ADHD is almost a tool, insight or creativity for me to find a way to bake a cake. I found rice flour in place of wheat, my hands instead of a whisk and putting a sock over my hand wrapping my hand with a small towel and then covering that with another sock to use as oven mitts. I have the ability to enable myself to look elsewhere for solutions that nobody else will look with certain insights to create and make new paths or tools. So how did I bake the cake? Being enabled with the ability to search out solutions for my own sake and ability to stay happy and sort of balanced enough to keep trying and trying harder. I call my self a solutionist. I can solve problems. Do you find yourself nearly always willing and/or wanting to help a friend? Solve their problems over dealing or solving your own? Well I needed a word that didn’t make me feel shitty because I know how to do things people call easy or even hard, I know I know I know I remember saying more than NO or any other word when I was a kid or young adult. I can better manage the life of a friend or someone I love than my own. There is something blocking my own regulation but others? No problem or not as difficult. I have the tools or I’m able to enable those gifts from adhd to solve things but regulating myself and it working, moving, present, recent or coming time is no where on my active list. There’s always give and take, yin and yang with anything and everything. Knowing that you shouldn’t blame yourself for something out of your hands and not made of your hands is important to make yourself work on the positive instead of the negative. The negative is a downer spiral. It’s worse than getting nowhere. Good luck my friend, it’s obvious you love your son and want the world for him. Take care.

Diagnosed in my early twenties. Haven't had any supports since and I'm now 44. After listening to this doctor, tremendous burdens can now be lifted and explained. I can let myself "off the hook" thinking that all this time I'm defective and that I can try to "fix" my kids the way adults fixed (trained) me. I grew up and have lived as a people pleaser to make or keep relationships (not good because this can lead to dangerous circumstances) because relationships with me aren't typical. My husband is a great and Godly man. Frankly, without us having God first, our family would have broken up soon after the birth of our daughter. The stress was and is even more so now, tremendous. I'm an ADHD parent raising an ADHD/ODD son, another ADD son and a "typical" daughter. I've had many emotional collapses in parenthood because 1) I didn't know what was going on with myself or my boys and 2) it was easier to feel and do nothing because that's the only way I could cope without literally running away from my family. I only used food as an escape and coping mechanism from childhood until present (no other substances). I either overrate or felt so sick inside, any food was a complete turnoff. Now that I have the prosthesis analogy in my head, I can begin to retrain my brain to accept the modifications that my boys need to succeed. My one boy just had his very first dose of concerta today despite allllllllll of my parenting efforts to try and help (aka change) him and keep from going down this road. Why resist? Because I accepted a lie/stigma that said if your on meds for a mental issue, there's something wrong with you or you're not normal. I grew up where same was normal. Thankfully , my children can grow up with oodles of scientific research to help understand what's going on, and also know that now, different is ok. I'm even reconsidering taking that path for myself now. If meds will help keep dopamine around long enough in my brain for me to succeed in areas of repeated failures, I ought to at least try.

For some odd reason, it really helps when Barkely explains ADHD. I've had symptoms from very early on, and am now dealing with it as an adult. I always feel like I am "less than" compared to others. I'm the 40-something year old who gets in a good mood and starts making stupid jokes and laughing. Then, I feel just fine dancing in the store, saying stupid things, etc. My family is embarrassed by me. My family being embarrassed by me makes me feel terrible about myself, and like even my family can't stand being around me. They think I'm immature. I hope I mature at some point, so I can be up to the standards of the general public, and my family. Not paying attention isn't such a horrible thing (besides driving) most of the time. I'll admit to having a car accident at least once per year when not medicated - all my fault, but I can't really explain how they happened. I didn't see the stop sign. I honestly didn't see it. etc. I do pay attention, though. I pay attention to more than most people. The problem is that I pay attention to whatever I notice - which is a lot of things at once. I often times just blame myself for not being able to just BE NORMAL. I just want to remember things, remember what I had volunteered to do, remember what the boss told me to do, or at least try to remember. I want to finish things. I want to get the kitchen cleaned - to get something done - to finish.... just finish something. The only thing that helps is a pill. I want to be normal without a pill. I want to just BE normal. It pisses me off that I can't figure out how - everybody else does. I take medicine so that people like me, and so that I like myself. Without it, life isn't worth living anymore. Don't worry.... I would never take my own life. I'm aware that I could never actually finish, so I would only be half dead.

tericuppajava Just like he brilliantly said, seat back and enjoy the trip. I know exactly how it feels. I am 35 years old, and I’m just finding out what was wrong with me my entire life. And I found it out accidentally, on the hardest way, since my 5 years old son is also affected. Trying to helping him, I’ve diagnosed him and myself. However, nothing is going to change from my side. I’m going to learn how to deal with him, support him, and guide him on this journey, as I have learned how to deal with myself, and stand strong no matter what. I’ll try my best to be a cooler mom. But I was convinced before that this was me, and my personality, and now this is him, and his personality. I’m not going to adjust myself to the world. My husband after 12 years together has learned to tolerate me, understand me and even support me. I feel bad because even I knew I wasn’t normal, I thought it was just a trait. Now I know I have a disorder. I feel good because I still choose to be happy, and make my disorganized life even more worthy. I hope the world keep understanding, if not I’m here stronger that anyone, changing what might be changed, and whatever I can’t change, let it be.

So many things I thought but I did not have the science to back it up- eg. visual working memory, breaking things down into much smaller steps, executive age etc. Even just this weekend at a post-graduate course people were saying how ADHD is bad parenting.

The job kept me accountable for driving my personal vehicle to keep my driving record clean, to keep my job. I had clients that loved my work with their animals, and so I would be accountable to them to be thorough. My tips also depended on this. Very true.

I want to add one more tip for parents: Caregiver burnout is real and painful for everyone, including your child. TAKE SCHEDULED BREAKS from your kid. Ask grandma to watch them while you go to the grocery store alone (now your child is no longer overwhelmed by the marketing messages, colors and smells) and you can meet a friend and have an uninterrupted adult conversation. Take a weekend off with your spouse. Take a night off to do a hobby away from home, taking a class or just window shopping. If you don't refill your emotional 'tank' you'll either unintentionally neglect or blow up at your kid... or holding in all that stress will make you sick. As a pro caregiver, some of my past clients have had in-home, full-time family help but were able to use me to get breaks and not lose their mind. Studies showing caregivers who don't get breaks are VERY likely to either hurt themselves or their charge. Don't think you have to go it alone. Humans' superpower is what incredible things we can accomplish when we cooperate and help each other!

For anyone who needs to hear this, I got through nursing school with adhd, depression, anxiety and the emotional issues I had from trauma. Do not let people tell you that you are lying, that you are making it up, that you are lazy, that you are stupid, and annoying, and crazy... You are so much more then that. Show them! Because the people you surround yourself with should know enough about you to understand you and your problems, and be able to see through the reaction. If you are concerned you may have it, get help now. I waited way too long, I waited until I couldn't cope anymore and thats the problem with mental health today. Do research, learn about your brain so that you don't get stuck blaming yourself for your adhd.

It's truly a gift to hear an expert who doesn't try to paint the tragedy of ADD/ADHD as some cute eccentricity. I can't exactly say that this disorder has ruined my life, but my life has been much harder and sadder because of it. There is as yet no light at the end of the tunnel, and if I didn't have religious values, then I might have despaired long ago. l

As someone who has not been evaluated for ADHD but relates to a lot of symptoms of primarily inattentive type ADHD/ with people with primarily inattentive type ADHD, I still felt like I 'didn't belong' because there were still some things I didn't relate to. However, when he mentioned SCT, I went to do a cursory google search on it as I've been doing with other disorders mentioned here and that's me. The things I didn't relate to with ADHD people, the problems I've always had with working slow, having a bit delayed understanding with things, my constant mental foggines, my difficulty with regulating sleep, everything makes sense with SCT. I'm not exaggerating when I say I cried when I read that. This video I accidentally stumbled upon has been the best gift ever to me.

At the age of five I was hyper active. That was a very bad thing. Now at the age of seventy five I am still hyper active. For me this is now a good thing. In the early fifties they made me repeat the entire first grade. At that time no one knew or cared about ADHD. I knew nothing about it myself until I was seventy and retired. Fortunately for me I chose an occupation which is a true meritocracy. Although I was not the most popular guy in the shop, I was the guy who made the boss the most money which usually made me even more unpopular.

Thank you so much Jason Solotti , for posting this , and thank you Dr. Barkely for your honesty , passion , conviction and most importantly (imo), for your FIRE!

I struggled with undiagnosed/untreated ADHD until I was 35, mostly because I was never fully confident in the diagnosis due to lack of explanation by mental health professionals and therefore lack of understanding by me. This video was the epiphany. It filled in all the gaps and lingering doubt that goes along with "maybe I am, maybe I'm not". I've made my entire family watch it and I refer any mental health practitioner to it that I'm in treatment with.

Keep treating your daughter with as much compassion and warmth as you can afford. Our ADHD symptoms are made worse by the stress brought on by judgment and anger - and she's got enough of that in her life. Correction of course needs to be made - as you know, every parent needs to correct their child in order for them to learn to be an adult - but even when correcting her, point out and praise what she did right, no matter how ordinary. There is nothing more soul-sucking and quicker to destroy the raw and vulnerable heart of an ADHDer than to be constantly criticized. One of the hardest things to understand if you're neurotypical is that your child will be seeing the world through the eyes of a young teenager when she is going out into the world as a young adult. I still experience this age/behavior lag as an adult - I am a middle-aged woman who is seen by people a decade and a half younger than me as an age peer to them, because I behave as a woman in my early 30s, not my middle 40s. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO KNOW: People with ADHD are NOT helpless. We're NOT babies. We are children and we are adults and we are fighters and lovers and survivors. We are people who are profoundly vulnerable and people who are indomitably strong. If there's anything that I think Dr. Barkley gets wrong it's that he profoundly underestimates the resilience and strength of the people he studies. Your daughter will be a brilliant woman. She only needs the support - including, yes, structures in her life to gently push her in the direction she wants to go - to get there. But these are structures - "scaffolding" as Dr. Barkley puts it. They're not the building. They're not her life. They're just the things that help her build the life she wants to live. One more thing: You keep going, too. Never stop loving her fiercely. Never stop holding hope for her. Never stop believing in her blithe spirit. You're her light, her hope, and her model of adulthood in the world, remember that too. She's got a fighter on her side.

It's fortunate that parents/teachers/caregivers have this research today for you to help understand and educate them. My parents or doctors didn't have these tools. I have been diagnosed with adhd for over 3 decades. I had to teach myself my boundaries and limitations and develop tools for myself to use to help me become successful. Most of the comments and suggestions are spot on. When I was a kid, they gave me extra time, which was useless because if the work was easy, I flew through it (losing pounts because I couldn'tremember to show my work). If not, I would hyper focus on questions I didn't know and not complete the test. And yes it took me 30min to write this.

1:16:15 This is the moment I realised ADHD had been hampering me all my life, I think I had all the drive a non-ADHD person could summon and so many times I've promised improvement to myself and others but I lose continuity and end up on the same old path. I think so many people must've thought I was being devious or insincere even though I think it was quite clear I could not have been more sincere. I remember my father telling me when I was late to school everyday something along the lines of: I know you're not embarressed by being late everyday but you're embarressing me. People were litterally telling me they were ashamed of me like fuck. People tell you if you just try hard enough you will succeed but it has never been more obvious what a lie this is with the contrast of my life before and after medication. 1:23:46 Also, wow, this hammers it home more, its not instructional! I learnt my lesson probably the first time, I wish it were just a matter of understanding, I just can't *do it*.

A relevant point from my own experience is that people who struggle in similar ways as I do will internalize or externalize their reactions and negative emotions. Internalization leads to depression but an outward appearance that everything is fine; externalizing behavior leads to oppositional defiance; rebellious conflict oriented behavior. But both stem from the same core internal experience of interacting with the world with a particular set of deficits...

oh my God! I wish my mother had been able to watch this years ago. My mom nor anyone in the family understood ADHD and she had adopted a child with ADHD and Autism. We had no warning from psychologists that this would result in psychopathy and we found out the hard way when she fatally injured some of our pets and her out of control behavior became worse and worse because my mom gave into her behavior instead of establishing clear penalties and executing them immediately. I think had she seen this talk and understood it, what the family went through would have been drastically different (better) in terms of managing the child's behavior and understanding what she could and could not be trusted with. I with this was required viewing for everyone with a child with ADHD, and frankly every psychologist and psychiatist. I think it would help them all.

This gave me chills and tears. I love somebody who has two children with ADHD, ODD from previous relationship . Ive been fighting against the family´s ignorance about this illness because , even before i saw this video, after ive read alot about brain development and children´s neuroscience, i had very similar view of this condition. And i guess, anyone who has been interested of children´s brain developement could not agree more with Dr. Barkely. These two children are, like he pointed multiple times , significantly behind the other kids development. The family of these two kids with ADHD, ODD just are not interested HOW they can help their children. It is devastating and scary to see, that these tow kids are rejected in the school and by friends, and furthermore by society, not knowing, that they have BRAIN DISEASE, and just wondering why they are always called BAD , DUMM or ANNOYING by friends. Which is worsening their anyway underdeveloped self-esteem and leading them more and more prone to aggressive and destructive behaviour. These two kids are living example, which check all the list what Dr.Barkely is talking about, point by point, Genetic AND mothers drinking and smoking habit during the pregnancy. The problem i see, is, in case the mum seem to be having ADHD, ODD( according to her parents and relatives) as well, these type of mum also has another traits like Narcissistic and /or Borderline disorders. I think it could become, not for everybody, but for many family, a vicious circle...
