2:23 I LOVE this man's passion 1. Medication 2. Accountable. Mentoring/coaching system. Meeting w/ coach or mentor 3 times/day, 5 mins each is ideal. 3. Report card from coach 4. Assignment sheet from coach 5. Consequences from family at home Probably not applicable to us adults but ya know

I think he's talking about daily report cards if I'm understanding him correctly. DRCs are better for students with ADHD because they have constant accountability and reinforcement. All of us with ADHD who actually understand our disorder and take the time to study it properly using proper sources owe it to the next generation of kids with ADHD to be a voice for them.

+Vic Vinegar lol he just mentioned DRCs. I guess I was right.

Would be nice to have some tips for handling younger kids with the hyperactivity issue of adhd. The near constant fidgeting, noise making, inappropriate outbursts, being unable to be still, etc. I have adhd but never had the hyperactivity issue. My 6 year old is VERY hyperactive. He wakes up in the morning like he is bouncing off the walls with energy. He never seems to run out of energy until the very end of the day when he falls asleep as soon as he hits the pillow.

Dr. Barkley described many co-morbid disorders: Oppositional disorder (ODD) is diagnosed in 65% of ADHD patients Conduct Disorder (aka stage 2 ODD) 25-45% Depression 20-27% Anxiety 25% in children and 35-45% of adult with ADHD Learning DIsability (LD) 50% of ADHD patients have a learning disability, too, ... LDs are NOT specifically related to ADHD ... SO, you need to separately intervention or treat* Comprehension problems ARE related to ADHD eg reading comprehension tics: 10-15% of NT children have tics, slightly higher w/ ADHD but almost neglibile tourettes syndrome is NOT more common in ADHD 1-2% BUT, tourettes kids ARE more prone to ADHD *OCD is NOT related to ADHD, but is related to tourettes syndrome... same meds treat both disorders Bi-polar 2-6% of ADHD children... ADHD is NOT a risk for bi-polar, BUT bi-polar IS a risk for ADHD... Childhood bi-polar IS 97% comorbid w/ ADHD *New ADHD patients should be briefly screened for two things: #1 Screen for intelligence #2 Screen for Learing Disabilities - Reading, Spellilng, Math, Language , Quick screening tests like: Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT) Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement (WJ) kzread.info/dash/bejne/oZOcqrCNdMfNebg.html (He also mentioned "[pee-ott]", but I'm not finding an acronym that matches. I did find mention of Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (KTEA). www.verywellfamily.com/learning-disability-tests-in-public-schools-2161894 )

Already completed #1 and #2 w/WAIS Adults Intelligence Scale after I was dx with MS at 40 Years old. Turns out back then he said I have a Non-Verbal LD but as of this past week at the age of 53 I was dx with ADHD. Learned a ton from this lecture.

18:47 Really glad to have this finally cleared up. Was on a mad hunt trying to find where the "Night Watchman Theory" cam from and what evidence there was to back the book "ADHD: A Hunter in a Farmer's World" by Thom Hartmann.

So my question is, if you're an adult with ADHD, how can you create your own "scaffolding" or "ramp" and be able to adhere to it? It's really difficult. 😭😭😭

In my experience it helps to find external accountability (friends, family etc). If you have a goal, arrange to make yourself accountable for that goal by having a friend check in periodically on your progress. Keep a daily diary (I use bullet journalling methods in mine) and make it a routine to check it every night and morning for your to-do lists. Medication helps and so does exercise. Keep reading and researching about ADHD to remind yourself of the tools and advice and remember it's going to be harder for you than other people

I'm doing daily, weekly, monthly etc plan/review cycles. Not about tasks but life in general. Like: how did my day go? How would I rate all the areas of my personal wellbeing today? (Write down details if something was not rated as average.) How did my week go? Any lessons learned? Any area that was problematic? What can I do to feel good today? ...this week? ...this month? I start every day with a clean (!!!) task list, look at my week guidelines and see what I can do to feel accomplished and calm by the end of the day. Then I allocate time blocks and put my tasks (each around 30 min long) on these blocks, and use notifications and pomodoro to keep track of time (because obviously I don't feel it otherwise). I try to give myself as much space as I need, and I'm trying to be my best friend after all these decades of dragging myself down and guilt-tripping myself for no reason. Of course I miss some of these weeklies, of course sometimes I completely screw up my time blocks, but it's okay, I just give myself a hug and move on. Edit: it's crucial to clear your task list at the end of the day. Otherwise it doesn't work. You don't want to look at the overdue tasks, start avoiding them, enter the guilt spiral and the whole system crashes immediately. Don't do that. Start your morning with no guilt and make yourself accountable today for what the small bit that you've *just* planned.

Damn, I thought it was so cool to be "hunter gatherer" type... Also... OCD isn't as common when ADD? I feel twice as bad about myself now, I need help.

VIEWERS WOULD BENEFIT TO LOOK UP PANDAS / PANS. It’s obviously not known about here

Noticed how he absolutely loved the question about associated "disorders", conduct disorder, oppositional defiance, ODD, etc. First of all, all of these are fictious disorders. Secondly, to the profitable bottom line, there are designed psychotropics to treat each one. The perversity, manipulation and pure evil of this (I rarely if ever use that word) is beyond the dignity of response!

If a kid is having problems in school or at home you change the environment, or look at why, or make provisions. You don't drug them. Just as if a flower can't grow in a bed, you change the soil or compost or environment in which it is growing.

If the child has the dopamine sucked up too quickly, and the drugs plug up the vacuum cleaner, wouldn't it be better to do the drugs? So the dopamine can stay around long enough to do its job. Compensating all my life, I was one of the undiagnosed, until menopause kicked my azz. I sought help. Adult ADHD me on medicine is vastly different than unmedicated me. On buspar, I can literally feel my brain sparkle. Without buspar, I sit like a lump. Intention, but no motivation. I'm pro med.

You assume the problem is the environment. With ADHD the problem isn't with the home or with the school. The problem is inside the child's brain. And it's permanent. They will eventually have to live on their own without a parent hovering around checking whether they have done their homework and cleaned their room. People with ADHD cannot learn to live like neurotypical people. You can't teach them to have a whole, healthy brain. They will always have to work many times harder to get the same results and in most cases will fall far short of their potential. It's like trying to run a marathon with your ankles chained together. Medication loosens the chains. I don't understand why any parent would want to watch their child struggle to keep up with their peers when there is such an easy way to help them succeed.
