I thought all the ppl with ADHD or ADD get distracted?

While this is a real illusion, I don't think it has anything to do with ADHD. There are small involuntary eye movements called microsaccades (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsaccade) which make it difficult for anyone to focus on a single point for too long. I also have ADHD, and I can easily make the dots disappear when I go to fullscreen and get close to the monitor, as the dots are large relative to the size of my eye's microsaccades. When I move further away from my monitor, the dots consume a smaller portion of my visual field and it becomes harder to maintain the illusion.

WayOtt I’m diagnosed with ADHD also no disappeared

I would notice a dot or two disappear, but then quickly reappear. I could feel this twitch in my eyes every time a dot or two would disappear, and the dots simultaneously reappear. I felt like I was still looking at the center dot! Why'd that happen? I was determined. I had watched this video for the third time when I mentally said at myself, "Why won't these dots disappear!" I'd been thinking about the dots not disappearing. The task is to look at simply look at the center dot. The task is not to make the outer three dots disappear. Sure, I'd been physically looking at the center dot with my eyes. I'd wonder if my thoughts are immediately turning inward for stimulation. I thought of a plan to somehow focus on something I can focus on doing all day and connecting that task with staring at the center dot. Immediate thought was how I get a song stuck in my head all the time. Time to turn this dot-staring task into a song and see what happens. This dot's flashing between the colors green and blue. It's flashing quick like some fast-paced metal Motorhead! I started mentally hearing Lemmy shouting "Blue! Green! Blue! Green! Blue! Green! Green!" As soon as I consciously thought of saying the wrong color I noticed all three dots reappear. WHAT? When did the dots disappear? Eh, screw it. I'm just sitting here getting my Jimmies rustled over some dots. There's no reward for completing anything this video tells me to do. I do have this idea for a weird heavy metal song, though.

I’ve been doing this weird meditation lately where I just stare at a fixed point for a prolonged time and eventually I notice my vision starts to get blurry and it looks like the background is shifting. Eventually the object or point I’m staring at “disappears” into what looks like a black hole/spot and I can hold this for a few seconds until I have a thought about noticing it and then I have to try again. I’ll do this for 15-25 minutes sometimes just because it feels so good doing it. All my stress and worries dissipate for a temporary period and I feel like my mind is free

Awesome! I’ve been doing this for years starting around the age of 10(I had convinced myself that one day I was going to be able to see through the ceiling I feel childlike folly/wisdom influence what happen next) I am now 45. It’s an amazing way to relax the body and the mind initially. Eventually with extended focus and time I began to see what I call the violet wash. It looks almost like someone’s slowly pouring a viscous fluid across my visual field which is Violet but somehow contains all of the other colors on the spectrum within its core. Not sure how else to explain it. Then in about my mid to late 20s I began to see an additional type of what I would call fractal light webbing emerging from the violet light. Said webbing was sensitive to my focus. And would create what I can only describe as eddies within the energetic field that I was seeing, as if my focus created a vortex and affected the general field. I began applying this focus in different settings within my life Walking/talking/hiking/yoga. Somewhere around age 27 or 28, I went for a walk on a new moon evening and began my normal focus routine as I walked around the neighborhood. A few minutes into my walk/focus meditation, everything within my field of view began to spiral into what I can only call a pitch black vortex, all of what was real and what I could see was draining into nothingness. I was in an extremely rural area so there were no street lights and almost no lighting around. But what I thought to be a pitch black knight that surrounded me was dwarfed by the blackness that all I considered to be reality was draining into. As all of what I could see drained into this black nothingness it began to transform into all I can describe as a iridescent flaming serpent looking energy that was coming directly out of my forehead, it was almost like a fireworks display in its expression But it was innately connected to the violet light I describe as if to be born of and emerge from it. Well! Thank you for listening or reading if you did. I just wanted to say keep doing what you’re doing there’s something else within us that has capabilities beyond what we consider to be normal. It’s amazing

There are several mitigating circumstances that can cause one to fail this "test" lol. I tried it both with and without caffeine consumption and it was a challenge, but entirely doable, without caffeine, while with caffeine I found it nearly impossible to make more than two dots disappear. The other comment about microsaccades is spot-on.

I genuinely tried, but when one would disappear I would look where it disappeared, and if one stayed I would look over to it. I could eventually make them all disappear after trying to drown out the audio but only for less than a second. I’ve always found these kinds of eye tricks difficult to get to work.

That ability to hyperfocus and the rare occasion where your allergies aren't causing you to blink constantly: Magic.

What if your eyes are just dry af and you can’t go long without blinking. This is actually something the brain does naturally. I saw it in Brain Games.

So I saw this video a week ago - this was my wake up call that I need to seek medical help. not only did I not manage to make the yellow dots to disappear I couldnt resist to look or notice them . After help Currently on 20mg Foclin XR for ADHD and I feel wierd and unsettling because I have never in my life felt this way it’s so wierd a new to me I know hold my focus on the dot for 4-5 seconds, and I for the first time have a clean room for 1 week in a row . The only bad thing is , it’s so new to me that I get mild headaches at the end of the day because I’m not used to doing stuff at all. I worked on my entire quarter of missed work on my computer for 9 hours non stop , because I didn’t have a reason to stop . That gave me a throw bing headace hopefully I get used to working long .

I can. Are you still here? Also it wouldn't be on this channel it would be on my other channel @fake10hourentertainment17.

It took me 19 seconds before I could make them disappear and that was whenever I was trying. The first time I watched this video they would only disappear for a second at most. Probably more like milliseconds. They don't stay away for more than 1-2 seconds at most. I was diagnosed with ADD a few years ago though.

I have ADHD. I was able to make all dots vanish, but only for about two seconds. But I also agree with some commenters that this doesn't prove wether I have it or not. There are several other factors not taken into account.

I had an easier time making them dissapear after doing some running.

First attempt watching this I made 1 dot disappear for 3 sec and could do 2 dots for 2 seconds. After practicing a few dozen times, I figured out a trick, and can now get all dots to go away. Avg time is 3 seconds, but I was able to hit 6 seconds several times. The trick for me was.. 1st I made sure my distance to screen was comfortable (I wear glasses and get double vision). I then allowed my eyes to blur on the green flicking and while I got distracted, I allowed my peripheral vision to pay attention the ends of the red square as it started to rotate. If the square is roating smoothly, I'm in the zone and doing it right. Seems my mind, allows me to peak at the red tips for a sec and go back to green without reintroducing the dots.

I was able to make a single dot disappear for a second. All of them flickered. It felt like my eyes just started slowly inching towards the edge, involuntarily. I have been diagnosed with ADD, and this really reminded me of the test I took to get that diagnosis

More of a test of how long i can keep my eyes open x(

THIS IS BRILLIANT. Never before have I been able to see, excuse the pun, the effects of having ADHD: as soon as my eyes deviate, ever so slightly, or a distracting thought enters my mind - the outer dots reappear. My eight-year-old can hold her attention and focus on the flashing dot for longer than five seconds until the dots reappear - thank God she does not have ADHD.

If you allow the center green dot double, it makes it easier to sustain and stay focused on more than 3 outter yellow dots. By allowing the balance to continue,.... My results was that no for disappeared. Pretty cool visual experiment. I don't see a commonality with adh. Further experiments might draw a different conclusion.

I almost had it but I couldn’t make them vanish, it felt like my eyes had a mind of they’re own and the second the dots were about to disappear my eyes would do what felt like a jerking motion

They are flashing for me because I keep laughing Everytime one goes bye bye ADHD is painful to live with. Emotionally. Sometimes you can see yourself struggle like an out of body experience, you're looking at yourself and asking yourself "what do people think of me? Do they see this too? Why am I like this? Can't I just stop already? I bet people think I'm on some sort of drug." I wish I didn't have ADHD and to the people with me that do, we can all get through it. And to the people that don't that fake it, you're not cute. And to those who are just curious about what ADHD is like, ask a fellow person who has been diagnosed. They will try to explain it. My favorite way to explain it, is my mind is like a broken windows computer, two tabs are playing music, one is a podcast, a game is running and the home screen crashed. All at the same time.

The three yellow dots were gone when I staring the flashing dot

This certainly made me fall into a rabbit hole that I obviously already was in -:) I'm really thankful!

The triangle-positioned dots do disappear after 10-15 seconds but it came back by flickering for around 1-2 seconds.

I have ADD, and I can make them go away for 8 seconds at best. Some times I can make them dissapear the first 2 secconds all of them, but it is hard to focus for sure. Maybe it does not work for all this test.

this hurt my eyes. ouchie. and I could barely manage getting one dot to disappear

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was a child, and then later when being tested for another disorder at 27, I was told that the ADHD didn't show up on the test. It wasn't that I had been misdiagnosed, as a child the symptoms of ADHD were definitely present. I believe I just got better at working around the disorder until it no longer affects me on a measurable level. I can make 2 dots, the bottom two usually, disappear for over 5 seconds, but not over 10. And I can make all 3 dots disappear for 2 to 3 seconds.

Here’s a question: assuming for the moment that this is a legit gauge of ADD, is there a significance to what order you can make the dots “disappear” or which dots you consistently stop seeing in which order? For me, I can easily “lose” the bottom left dot, then the top dot (not as easily). Haven’t been able to get all 3 to disappear yet.

I was able to make the dots disappear but every time they did that my eyes went to see what happened and it went away.

Two dots disappeared for 2sec max. I was diagnosed with ADD at age 10. Diagnosed with Asperger's at 37.

Impossible. I've not even been diagnosed with ADHD and it was impossible.

I can make them vanish for a tiny amount of time like 4 seconds at most,I think this is also why I'm so good at multi tasking so it's a disability and a power at the same time

I am diagnosed with ADD, and I managed about 6-7 seconds on my first watch of this movie. The way you do it is to let go of the focus in the same way as with far-away eyes when you are looking off in the distance and not focusing on anything with your eyes.

once one dot appeared again i completely lost focus and just automatically stared at that dot

so does it count if the dots are still semi visible as brown spots instead of yellow?

I think watching this video instead of writing my English paper says a lot of me

When the video ended, I looked at my bedpost and the center was swirling. Cool illusion!

I tried really hard and it didn't work.... but I do not have ADHD

i have adhd and couldnt focus at all, but when you gave me the challenge with the 10 seconds it was no problem at all. i even forgot, that i am sitting in a car with loud music and heavy bass on

Is this test legitimate? I was tested at a psychological clinic in 2020 and was told that I don't have ADHD, yet I failed this test. Could anyone post a reply and explain this to me? I am concerned.

You can have ADHD and not "test" that you have ADHD. ADHD is often misdiagnosed as another condition. ADHD can also fall under the "clinical" threshold meaning you have the traits but not severely enough to qualify as "clinical" ADHD. Give yourself some grace, and get a second opinion.

No nods disappeared and I wasn't even listening to what you were saying, great just great now I have to rewatch this video just to hear what you said

It's so hard to try to stay fixed wow! Just 1 or 2 seconds without seeing the other dots... I need to train this. Seems fun!

It feels like my eyes are burning and actually started tearing up

*that moment you just zone out from the talking because the music and the movement, and start testing if i were to stare at one of the other dots would the others disappear?*

I’m going to use this as a mindfulness practice

Yes. Watching full screen makes a difference.👍😎

All the dots disappeared but each time I “reset” my staring, they appear and shortly after disappear again

I have a diagnosed ADHD and I can make all spots vanish for short, but repetitive periods of time

stared at it for so long now the comment section is wavy. got to 10seconds tho. staring at it without blinking helps, moving your eyes all over the place will break the illusion.

the dots keep dissappearing and coming back. sometimes one or two of them dissappear and then comes back later...what does that mean 😭

When I try to ignore the dots I see them. When I accept them as part of my peripheral vision they disappear. This is like a cool mental exercise, and I got to pick my own brain apart to see what worked.

The last one doesn't go away. And I do have ADHD.

I keep getting to the point where I'm seeing the last one disappear and then my brain just goes "where did it go" and then I search for it like a dumbass.

As a flashing light enjoyer, it was very easy to focus on that flashing dot.

When the dots dissapear, for some reason i quickly move my eyes to the dots and it re-appear again. Guess i really have ADHD.

AHHHH MY BRAIN HURRRRTS AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

My eye always twitched whenever all dots disappeared lol (it was autonomous and the move was so small that i didn't notice a difference else than the dots re appearing)

As soon as all the dots disappear, I feel the slightest movement in my eyes, which makes them reappear, not only that, but if I stare at the dots, and I feel like my eyes are about to close, the dots reappear.

i dont have adhd or anything but i noticed a phenomanon where the dots would dissapear and after like 3-5 seconds of me staring at it my eyes would feel a little dry causing them to twitch slightly the movement breaking the illusion i noticed something similar with dark areas like if i look at a cloudy night sky and stare at one star and keep my eyes stationary not moving all the less bright starts slowly disappear until the slightest eye movement makes the stars reappear

I have ADHD and I could only get 2 at most to go away as soon as they went away my eye was drawn to it

I couldn't tell if the dots were vanishing or not without moving my eyes, which caused my vision to reset so the dots reappeared. I think I have something called weak central coherence which means that I can only look at one thing at a time. If I'm focusing on the central dot, I can't be sure what's happening with the others.

There was a moment where the circling square started drifting away from the dots and the 3 yellow dots stayed on the same spot. Very weird!

I'm not diagnosed yet but I have been thinking I have adhd for the past 5 years after learning more about it

I could never make all of them go away.

It's like trying to hold your balance on a pyramid, and the tip you are standing on keeps going up and down to disbalance you.

After watching this illusion, and then went to read the comments,, the screen seemed to be rotating counter clock wise.

I actually have to de focus in order to make the dots disappear but when I do so long as I remain unfocused they remain invisible, as soon as I bring any level of attention they become super notable but change to a mix of blue and yellow

i literally can't, like i tried too many times but as soon as dot get disappeared my eyes instantly goes to see that

Can make one or two disappear for a split second

I don't have adhd and i only manage to make it flicker and the spinning thing makes it hard to focus. I can focus at times but it requires a lot of mental energy and make me exhausted.

Diagnosed, watched this without sound first and couldn't make any dots disappear.

Yes. People with ADHD make the best firefighters, EMTs, etc. because they're in their element during an emergency. Their brain speeds up and reacts very quickly as opposed to other people who are paralyzed by fear. ADHDs observe and respond with lightning speed when the shtf.

what happens if only one flickers a little and the rest stay solid is that normal?

I can see a spiral sometimes, does that mean anything?

I can make all the dots stay while separating the square .

tried it again...there's really just this stubborn dot that wont disappear be it at the top or the right..maybe its really normal?

clicked this knowing i have severe ADHD, then remembering iv been poping ritalin all day when all the dots vanish instantly.

Interesting! I can keep the dots invisible until i have to blink, every few seconds i blink and they reappear but my eyes burn if i dont blink.

I'm undiagnosed and can only make them dissolve for 2 seconds does this mean anything or is this test flawed?

3-4 second anyone did it for more than 5 please let me know what did you do to improve your focus!

Is it bad if I rapidly switch in between all of them Seeing one seeing two and seeing all three disappear in different junctions periodically

This probably takes advantage of eye fatigue. Get reeeeaaal close, that way the yellow dots tire out a bigger area of optical cells in your eyes. More "tired area" means you do not have to worry about accidentally moving your eyes as much.

My problem with paying attention is not that I get distracted by things around me but that I zone out constantly, so… I’m pretty good at this. Couldn’t tell ya what you said after the instructions, though.
