I was diagnosed with Autism back in January at age 20. It's crazy how when you're diagnosed with neurodivergency, nothing changes but everything makes sense.
WE LOVE prescribed DRUGS! (taken responsibly)
As someone with ADHD a sentence that really helped me when Im stuck in ADHD paralysis is “if you were lazy you would be having fun”.
Jaiden was the reason why I thought I didn’t have ADHD and this video single-handedly destroyed all the denial and I got diagnosed a month later. Thanks Jaiden.
"It's scary to have it, it's scary to might not have it" is such a good way to describe the hesitancy to getting diagnosed.
You forget a BIG factor in your youth success was the SOCIAL aspect of school. You had people ALL AROUND YOU - ALWAYS telling you what to do. A bell rings, you go to class, EVERYONE goes to lunch, you wake up...What are you going to do? See your FRIENDS! A bus transports you, your parents cook and do your laundry. It's systematic. Automatic. When you grow up - you're alone. You have no more systems. Just drudgery. Good luck everyone.
Perfect example of the fact that symptoms for adhd (and autism) isn’t always the stereotypical stuff
Your videos are indeed well put together, Such a nice video. I remember few years back after my husband died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
The animation of this video is ABSOLUTELY INSANEEEE
"i did all my homework on time!", "sure i didn't like Studying and found it hard to focus", "Up Until College" hit me like a truck,, i feel like that's a template for adhd diagnosis at this point
The trickiest thing about ADHD (in my opinion, as someone with ADHD) is that if you aren’t that hyperactive, ALL the symptoms can be put under “normal people problems”. You try to explain it to normal people and it’s like “I forget things, I’m always late, I can’t focus on school work”, etc. etc. and people are like “well yeah I do that too” but it’s not the same! Your brain is sabotaging you all the time, it’s not just little mistakes. Anyway, that’s my opinion on sometimes getting a diagnostic is hard and ADHD is misunderstood. Thanks for coming to my ted talk lol
I just got diagnosed with ADHD today! Jaiden you inspired me to get my butt up and get tested. (Once my health insurance kicked in.) Now that I have the diagnosis I feel a lot better! I will be getting drugs but I'm glad to finally have some answers! Hooray for joining the club!!!
"Miku obsession" into "ADHD/autism diagnoses" is the 2nd funniest consecutive videos since "dating simulator" into "coming out as ace"
"i cleaned the birds' room after writing the script" my adhd ass: THAT'S FCKING IMPRESSIVE
The fact that u cleaned the birds room AFTER making the script and not WHILE making the script and leaving that task half done to return making the script, and jumping back on and on impressed the hell out of me
I was diagnosed at 15 and also put off getting meds because I also thought I wouldnt need it, but then eventually I realised I should try it and when I tried my first instant release I only remeber the quiet. Everything was quiet and normal IT WAS INSANE and I just folded laundry. It was genuinely revolutionary.
Jaiden: "I have ADHD." Every neurodivergent YouTube user: Pretends to be surprised
"i just thought i was lazy or wasn't applying myself" is too real, that kind of thing can mess with you so bad and it's not even your fault
The way Zarnivex weaponizes self-awareness? Genius. And slightly terrifying.
