@10printDICKS20goto10 Ironically, no. Since it's a video, I can watch it fine. If someone just handed me a book, though, it would be exactly like this.
I have ADD... and not ADHD. I'm 17 years old in high school, and I can honestly say that this video is SPOT on. Everyday this is what I go through. Just writing this comment I thought of about 20 different things that have nothing to do with this.
This simulation was not very realistic as to what it is like to have ADHD. I have a very bad case of it. It would be hard to do an accurate simulation of ADHD, so I guess this is about as good as they could do.
I work in downtown, Orlando, FL, could you guess what distracts me the most throughout the day? All the beautiful women running around in Orlando.
I have adhd and because I wanted to read it, I was able to at least concentrate to a certain degree..
I'm so sick of people thinking of ADHD like you they can't concentrate AT ALL. People with ADHD CAN. But it's really hard..
And owh if you wanted to make a real simulation.. You should've played music in there, while people were talking, while they were playing soccer and while you try to read but get distracted by a bird..
Urgh.... I hate reading a page in a book and by the time I get half way down the next page, I realize I have to flick back to the last page as I took none of it in!
If you think you have ADD because you can't focus SOMETIMES, you're an idiot. I can hardly focus on anything. My mind is always flying around. And I still don't have ADD. I dont believe that the percentage of people who have ADD is 15-20% of commentors. If you had ADD, multiple mental doctors would have told you so.
This hits the nail on the head for me. However, I know this is true for me as with a lot of people with adhd: If you are actually interested in something, everything around you blacks out but what you are focusing on. At that point nothing else can interrupt your mind. It's called hyperfocus (no joke,medical term). Try having adhd and trying to sleep.
I have ADHD, and that is pretty much what it's like every time I try to read a textbook. I'm really smart and in all honors and AP classes, but it can still take me 20 minutes to read a single page, especially on days that my medicine isn't working
@whodecidesreason Same here. I'm an honors student at my university, and I just can't read my textbooks. I have to get everything from lectures or by skimming through various internet sources.
I have ADHD and my friend had a hard time understanding how I was having trouble focusing and I showed her this vid and now she understands perfectly!
yeah no thats not what its like i have it and it dont fade in or out and what not if your bored you just dont even look at it you look all around not at the page and randome ideas come into play and lots of other stuff that i really cant explain in words
youre a dick. Ive been trying to write a paper since 3pm and now its 10:40pm and im watching your sick little ADHD trap. Worst part is I couldn't focus on the words!
This is pretty much how adhd affects me. Without marijuana I am simply unable to slow my thought processing, selection, and emotional interpretation down enough to focus and really understand whats going on. The disorder is real and you are born with it...
Yes, you are correct. OTC medications that are somewhat safe are 100mg caffeine = 5mg of ritalin. There are perscription adhd stimulant and non stimulant medications, which I shall go on soon. Thank you for uploading this and thanks for the comment. I hope your video will help others maybe figure out if they have a problem
the changing backgrounds on top of the text is a perfect example, like donovanwinters96, I was smart enough to pause it to read.

Even this is not severe enough to represent true ADD. This is what it's like for me, but I'm positive that I am not ADD.
