You can see that he's actually living the point he's trying to make. He's so nervous and absolutely off track. But that's when the magic happens. I think his biggest problem was to pick just a few things to talk about out of _all the things_ he *wants* to talk about, since 15 minutes is practically no time at all if you're passionate about something.

There are a lot of people that have watched this talk and not recognized the pure brilliance of the structure. At the beginning it was basically like 1,000,000 individual points that seemingly have no connection to each other; as the talk goes on, it starts to form a general trend; and by the end it has all come together into a mindblowingly powerful message. This is the ultimate example of order from chaos. I'm glad I found this talk when I did, because I've been watching all of Look Mum No Computer's content since.

Your brain may have its problems (I also have ADHD and experience a lot of hyperfocus...on everything but the thing im supposed to be doing...), but you have used it to your benefit in such a beautiful way. You deserved that standing ovation because you have an amazing brain, a double edged sword that youve learned to use so incredibly well.
