My Struggles With ADHD

 If you liked the video on my struggles with autism, you will like this video, I talk about my struggles with ADHD. ADHD and autism are very alike, but different conditions. 

1) Remembering Things
This is a huge struggle of mine. I give up explaining it to my grandma because she is going to say I am making excuses. 
But you can tell me something and I will forget moments later. Think of it like a door, a person without ADHD, when they get information, the door will close, so they can process the information that was given. But a person with ADHD, the door will not close and the info will keep flowing and the person cannot process it. Think of it like the Bermuda Triangle.  I forgot a girls name and she asked me if I had Alzheimer's. And that is in elderly people so her question made no sense. How the hell is a 15 year old ( I was 15 when this happened) going to have Alzheimer's. Now most ADHD sufferers will have difficultly explaining their symptoms to a Nerotypical( a person without ADHD). You would expect someone in their 70s to have memory issues, not someone in their early 20s ( I'm 22 BTW) 

2)Completing Tasks 
Now I struggles with this when I was in school ( I still do today) most ADHD individuals, not speaking for everyone. But some with ADHD may not finish a task they start. They could of easily gotten frustrated or stressed with the task and stopped. I think the person needs a break in between to let the brain rest and refuel. 

3)  Keeping Up With My Stuff/Losing Things
I have lost count on how many earrings, gloves,socks that i have lost. My mom even said she is tired of buying me things that I wind up losing. I also struggle with remembering where I put said item. I can have a shirt, and put that shirt somewhere, and I will forget where I put it days later. Then my mom will ask for the shirt and I have to search my room until I find it. 


4) Sleeping ( Sometimes)
An ADHD/ADD brain is always racing, this can cause some insomnia in a person with ADD/ADHD. Like when I was in school, the night before I had school, I had trouble falling asleep. This was troublesome because I had to get up at 5:30am and be on the bus stop at 6:30am. Its even unhealthy if you do not get your full 8 hours of sleep. How I wish I can be normal. 

That's all for this video. If you liked it then leave an upvote and a follow.
