At 52 and a passing glance at Tik Tok I have discovered my missing instruction booklet. The only trait missing is the sleep problems. I know everyone is jumping on the bandwagon but the fit is artisan level. My whole life explained and I never even considered it was anything other than personality failure. I have to say I've always been proud of my ODD. I'm am hot headed and go 0-10 in a split second but it's directed at bullies and dictatorial authority figures. I will almost learn a new language to defeat them, with abnormal levels of concentration and absorption of data. Yet in everyday life I struggle to read the instruction booklet for a new lightswitch.

Dr Russel Barkley--- You are such a gift to psychiatry! This was one of the best presentations I have ever heard from you. I have been listening to every podcast, TED Talk, webinar and reading several books the past couple months to help discern what is going on with my 9 yr old daughter ( I had her at age 45 naturally). Painful to know this presentation was 8 years ago.....but regardless, so valuable! My daughter, I believe has ADHD, and I am realizing I have similar attributes. However, the SCD, or rather CDD is totally ME! Thank you....from the bottom of my heart and my 49 year struggle of symptomology you so eloquently explained. Chronic major depression , anxiety, work problems and rejection sensitivity ate my key symptoms expressed. I love the suggestion of Strattera to maybe find the final missing piece of my journey. I take 3 anti depressants--norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor took me out of a 10 yr major depression 15 yrs ago! I believe my daughter is ADHD and CDD (SCT)Innatentive ADHD.😂 I cant wait to see if Friendship Therapy is out for parents cause it sounds perfect! Questions: 1. Does Rejection sensitivity coincide with the SCT? Because that has been huge with me over the past 25 years. No impulsivity unless triggered by RSD. 2. My daughter is definitely both ADHD and SCT. ( Her dad is ADHD). How do I help her at home with emotion dysregulation, and assisting with helping her in the executive function skills? What works at home to help her socially, academically ( doing above average right now though), but home life listening skills, memory, no planning ahead or ability to see risks. 3. No screen time or limited? I think it ri s her frim developing skills she is already behind in. But this isolated her from her friends that started pushing her away. (Neighbors really but she thinks they are her best friends). I am trying to help her discern between friends similar to us vs just being different. You totally channged my life with this presentation! I am going to search if you have more presentations in this area! I hope this finds you! 😊

My ADHD symptoms were not present “from the start.” For the first 6-7 years of my life, I was a very high achiever in school and life. Even my bedroom was always tidy. Then our home life disintegrated rapidly into hellish chaos. It was during THIS period that my ADHD symptoms began to emerge and grow gradually worse throughout my adolescence, which remained always uncertain, miserable, unfair and painful-just only hell, that’s all I knew-and by adulthood I had lost that little girl, and without even realizing it. This is not inborn. And frankly, I feel betrayed by this society.

It’s a problem if you are losing friends, family members, jobs. If you don’t care about that, it’s not a problem. But everyone needs these types of people in their lives and it leads to loneliness if unchecked. Social isolation is not healthy mentally or physically.

ADHD is not a developmental disorder. It is a neurotype. ADHD does not have an onset. Markers for "onset" usually are assigned to an individual when that person has crossed a threshold level of inconvenience and/or challenges from living in a society that does not understand or accommodate for this neurotype.

Very interesting study-I was diagnosed at 36 after having misdiagnosis and treatment of depression from puberty onward. Really I was “depressed” because I could not figure out why I wasn’t like other kids (specifically girls…I got on great with boys lol). I love having it for the most part now that I understand it and myself better. There are things that suck, but for the most part I have mastered and accomplished many things that seem to come easier to me than others. But I totally feel the emotional disability that the lecturer is talking about. I’m either stone cold or an absolute mess. There is no in between. It makes relationships very difficult.

32:15 It should be noted that those with ADHD tend to simply *forget* to socialize regularly with established friends (they have no sense of time, so don't notice the non-communication has gone on not a few days but months), and whatever's not in front of their face can flat-out cease to exist in their awareness without regularly scheduled reminders (yes, even relationships). It doesn't help that neurotypicals tend to not believe executive function issues are the root causes of things like constant tardiness and forgetting birthdays etc. type events repeatedly -- there's a lot of "if you *really* loved me, you'd be on time and remember". But ADHD brains don't work that way, it has nothing to do with importance, and so relationships and friendships often end (badly) or just fade out.

31:00 But do these SCT social shyness studies account for possible autism, which could greatly factor in to the anxiety, apprehension etc. when social communication difficulties (compounded by a history of frequent or even *only* bad experiences) play huge part in why autistics tend to be socially withdrawn, unengaged and just generally unenthused about social events/interacting with people altogether?
@iprobablyforgotsomething6 ай бұрын
Ah, just saw next part. But as an autistic who does like social interaction when it is pleasant, moreso with known and liked individuals, or when I more clearly understand the unspoken social rules of a situation,* it's not true that all autistics are aloof. Not even those who display "classic" autism traits, like failing to understand all forms of humour and sarcasm or having a strong inclination towards STEM careers. Likewise, not all neurotypicals enjoy "people'ing" to the same degree, if at all; introverts and lone wolf-types do exist, after all. . What most all autistics dislike is repeated negative social experiences. The tendency of neurotypicals towards inmplicationese, non-literal language, and non-verbal communications (that we tend to miss entirely or misinterprete) as well as seemingly arbitrary unspoken social rules that make every interaction a social minefield. It can feel less depressing to simply not engage (and certainly seems like less trouble), but for many of us, we still need and want interpersonal connection and relationships. . *(customer service interactions, for example, can actually be useful in that there's a pretty set expectation on both sides about what topics will usually be conversed about, side-story pleasantries aside)

I experienced severe executive function late in life, after a few traumatic events related to the ‘secretary’ side of myself. I know exactly why I have trouble doing certain things, but I live alone and it is very difficult to even try. After 7 years of not working, I was finally ready to try getting a job that would help ‘retrain’ my brain to be functional in this way. Had more trauma with someone ‘related’ to the job (not with computers), but it forced me to have to stop. Then, another trauma, then a bombshell, both computer-related. (online dating did not help as that didn’t end up amounting to anything, at least not that I have 20/20 vision to ‘see’. I used to LOVE being on the computer, making spreadsheets, writing my own formulas, even learned coding very quickly at the job (which I wasn’t hired to do but was quick with picking up). Now, I just can’t open it, the computer. Even my phone, which I used to sell on, communicating and keeping up with inquiries, and ran a craft fair for 2 years with nothing but success and customer satisfaction…can be so triggering. I was beloved by many for my abilities as I was also a very helpful person with others who struggled. Yet, it is one of the hardest things for me to do today. The job helped…a lot. But I’m frozen again. As an aside, I have always been referred to as meticulous and organized (to an extreme) by supervisors, and now have an aversion to possessing these qualities. Also, I had never taken Adderall until the 1st of the 7 years I did not work. 🤷♀️ It doesn’t do much but I see a difference in focus. Some days it does nothing. Doing all of it ☝️ made me happy…joyful. Maybe odd, but it did. Issues others were having seemed so simple to me. I 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 that back. So so badly. It was part of my identity. (I have been ‘late’ my whole life to meetings, functions…but I was good at what I did so I got away with it. Lol) Please no comments unless it’s a type of therapy or something you can share that may explain what is happening to me. Just sharing my experience cause it’s late in life (after 40) and on and off. Good grief 😩🤦🏻♀️

Even my phone, which I used to sell on, communicating and keeping up with inquiries, and ran a craft fair for 2 years with nothing but success and customer satisfaction…can be so triggering. I was beloved by many for my abilities as I was also a very helpful person with others who struggled. Yet, it is one of the hardest things for me to do today. The job helped…a lot. But I’m frozen again. As an aside, I have always been referred to as meticulous and organized (to an extreme) by supervisors, and now have an aversion to possessing these qualities. Also, I had never taken Adderall until the 1st of the 7 years I did not work. 🤷♀️ It doesn’t do much but I see a difference in focus. Some days it does nothing. Doing all of it ☝️ made me happy…joyful. Maybe odd, but it did. Issues others were having seemed so simple to me. I 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 that back. So so badly. It was part of my identity. (I have been ‘late’ my whole life to meetings, functions…but I was good at what I did so I got away with it. Lol) Please no comments unless it’s a type of therapy or something you can share that may explain what is happening to me. Just sharing my experience cause it’s late in life (after 40) and on and off. Good grief 😩🤦🏻♀️
It also can be abscence seizures that are linked toADHD
listening to these talks and lectures for a few minutes are closer to seeing myself than looking in a mirror all day , as i can not tell you how many times i have , for example, start eating a meal and not finish my food or go to grocery store and forget to put ALL food that needs to go i fridge. , ETC ..... THANK YOU Dr Barkley!!
Thank you, sir. Im 36 In my life felt like it was finally coming to pieces. I was clinically diagnosed when I was 16, and because of all the conflict and hardship between me and my parents over my academics, I've been circumambulating since with greater or lesser degrees of despair and optimism. Thank you for the work that you've done, and thank you for speaking from your heat to men and women like me that just seem to run out of road or people or strength
Studying with ADHD brings me so much trauma. Obviously triggered due to childhood struggles at school. I am now 50 completing a degree and it's a huge struggle. Thank you Dr Barkley!!!
Cannot see the chart.
Camera person! You suck at your job! We can hear the man's voice. Why can't we see the visuals he prepared?? Because you suck!!
taking medication makes me realize that I have been driving in the rain with the wipers off. Lucky me nothing happend! But I thought I was a good driver!? NOT!
24:30 Woah, this just blew my mind with the self-awareness gap. At 31 this made me realise that my symptoms were not getting worse, but with age I just became more aware of my shortcomings - also in comparison to my peers.
Isn't there a hen-and-egg problem? If little children had excessive stress they cannot regulate, they would abandon control attempts, and the brain would be damaged.
'deficiency' is the favourite word of the trade 😂
It is a blessing that information of this quality is publicly available
I wish this video also the slides he's referring to (I know the slide is in the description but seeing both at the same time would be super helpful)
