    My view point is ADHD is a superpower as long as we navigate it to work for us.

      I agree. In my 60s and just realizing I am neurodivergent.

    I was only diagnosed with ADHD this year but everyone neurodivergent is just super smart and I’m not super book smart so I feel like I never relate to anyone with adhd or who is on the spectrum lol

      I understand you fully. I have ADHD, was diagnosed at 18 and didn’t get medication (I was scared of it) until this month. I had a 1.6 GPA in middle school, dropped out of highschool because I needed to make up three years worth of school but was a senior. I took a break and then spent four more years trying to get my GED, and eventually did get my GED at 23.

      @secrettracy406 and does the medication works? My daughter is diagnosed with ADHD and with my wife and me we have a big debate on whether to give her medication.

    When I was a kid they just slapped kids and they listened everyone has a disorder now

    • @DangerousPBJ

      You can’t abuse someone out of a mental disorder. If anything that’ll just make it worse. Kids with ADHD in the past either kept getting slapped about until their parents and teachers gave up on them, or the lucky ones had adults around them who realized their potential and did what they could to support them.

      Sure, some kids straightened up if they got slapped for their behaviors, but those kids didn’t have ADHD.

      Don’t need to be a clinical psychologist to diagnose that you’re talking reductive excrement

      Yeah, no. My paternal grandparents had none of that growing up, barely any sugar, almost completly minimally processed organic food, no screen, no nothing. They are the most ADHD people I have ever met

    • @RafaelMunizYT

      good thing most ignorant people like you don’t have a say in the scientific community

    • @DangerousPBJ

      ​@RafaelMunizYT People like that are running the health dept in the US, unfortunately. Scary times.

      ​@DangerousPBJ that’s why I said most. unfortunately a small minority of idiots have enough power to affect the rest

    What annoys me is how many people think they have ADHD when they don’t, and just think that it’s a fairly easy condition to manage and push through, and then have a “just give it a little effort” mentality to those of us who really do have it.

    She is wearing Uggs. ADHD still in effect.

    I believe adhd is a symptom of chronic anxiety driven by false belief systems. Trying to cope with the stress of false negative beliefs creates most if not all disorders.

    • @lechenaultia5863

      December 3, 2025 at 12:07 am

      Very true. A true developmental disorder would be evident from an early age.

    • @rileycookart

      December 4, 2025 at 9:00 am

      So… you’re reducing ADHD to anxiety… another neuro issue.

    I was able to watch the entire short despite an urge to look for something less superficial…

    Try breathing and slowing your speech down to less than chipmunk speech, dear.

    • @rebeccaruffels4763

      December 3, 2025 at 2:14 am

      Spoken by someone who doesn’t have adhd I presume? Those with ADHD would find the speed she’s speaking to be just right.

      My question to you is, why does she need to slow down as opposed to you learning to listen faster? Both would be just as difficult for the respective person to do.

    We found out my hubby has ADHD when our son got diagnosed. I love them more than life.

    How could I find full video

  18. @barbaraperkovic1996

    December 4, 2025 at 4:24 pm

    Why did this video cut off at 1.91 min?

  19. @sn0n

    But where is the full video?

    Undiagnosed as a child. School and life would’ve been better had I known. People are lucky they had people around them smart enough to diagnose and treat it.

What do the story of Oedipus and your insurance premiums have in common? They are both driven by self-fulfilling prophecies. Philosopher and TED Fellow Carissa Véliz traces the hidden power of prediction, from Roman emperors who banned prophets to the AI algorithms quietly making decisions about your life right now. We tend to associate predictions with knowledge, she says, but they’re actually attempts to grab power. So the next time someone tells you a specific outcome is inevitable, remember: they aren’t describing the future — they’re selling it.
