Are you sure its ADHD? ADHD is when you do something without thinking, a sort of automatically.. ADD is where you split your attention between things. No, adhd is when you quickly lose attention if you are not "entertained". You dont have to focus on multiple things, you just frequently jump between them.Either you are having "fun" and so you are totaly enveloped in that thing and nothing else exists or you cannot focus on it for longer periodes of time. Also i do have ticks like tapping my foot, playing with mi wristband, drawing lines, chewing my pen, locking and unlocking my phone.... https://www.additudemag.com/what-is-adhd-symptoms-causes-treatments/ There is a difference between losing interest quickly if you aren't entertained, and something noticeably wrong where someone's attention is split around acting quickly. You could say to a kid he has ADHD but maybe he/she is simply short attention span, which is why i asked. I know because i am confirmed to have it for sure. Young kids especially can be impatient. Some videos on youtube are super short. This is what that page says: people with hyperactive-impulsive subtype of ADHD act “as if driven by a motor” with little impulse control — moving, squirming, and talking at even the most inappropriate times. They are impulsive, impatient, and interrupt others.People with the inattentive subtype of ADHD are easily distracted and forgetful. They may be daydreamers who lose track of homework, cell phones, and conversations with regularity.Individuals with combined-type ADHD display a mixture of all the symptoms outlined above.These subtypes are now considered “presentations” in the most recent version of the DSM, the DSM-V. Researchers determined that people often move from one subtype to another. For example, a child may present as primarily hyperactive-impulsive in preschool, and lose much of the hyperarousal in adolescence to fit the primarily inattentive presentation. In college and adulthood, the same individual may transition to combined presentation.The subtypes were primarily based on overt behavioral symptoms, and ignored less visible symptoms like emotional dysregulation, cognitive patterns, and sleep difficulties. Behavioral symptoms imperfectly capture the defining features of ADHD. Non-behavioral characteristics are increasingly recognized in research and diagnosis. What Are the 9 Symptoms of ADHD – Primarily Inattentive Type?Often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, at work, or during other activities (e.g., overlooks or misses details, work is inaccurate).Often has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities (e.g., has difficulty remaining focused during lectures, conversations, or lengthy reading).Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly (e.g., mind seems elsewhere, even in the absence of any obvious distraction).Often does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace (e.g., starts tasks but quickly loses focus and is easily sidetracked).Often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities (e.g., difficulty managing sequential tasks; difficulty keeping materials and belongings in order; messy, disorganized work; has poor time management; fails to meet deadlines).Often avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort (e.g., schoolwork or homework; for older adolescents and adults, preparing reports, completing forms, reviewing lengthy papers).Often loses things necessary for tasks or activities (e.g., school materials, pencils, books, tools, wallets, keys, paperwork, eyeglasses, mobile telephones).Is often easily distracted by extraneous stimuli (for older adolescents and adults, may include unrelated thoughts).Is often forgetful in daily activities (e.g., doing chores, running errands; for older adolescents and adults, returning calls, paying bills, keeping appointments). What Are the 9 Symptoms of ADHD – Primarily Hyperactive-Impulsive Type?Often fidgets with or taps hands or feet or squirms in seat.Often leaves seat in situations when remaining seated is expected (e.g., leaves his or her place in the classroom, in the office or other workplace, or in other situations that require remaining in place).Often runs about or climbs in situations where it is inappropriate. (Note: In adolescents or adults, may be limited to feeling restless.)Often unable to play or engage in leisure activities quietly.Is often “on the go,” acting as if “driven by a motor” (e.g., is unable to be or uncomfortable being still for extended time, as in restaurants, meetings; may be experienced by others as being restless or difficult to keep up with).Often talks excessively.Often blurts out an answer before a question has been completed (e.g., completes people’s sentences; cannot wait for turn in conversation).Often has difficulty waiting his or her turn (e.g., while waiting in line).Often interrupts or intrudes on others (e.g., butts into conversations, games, or activities; may start using other people’s things without asking or receiving permission; for adolescents and adults, may intrude into or take over what others Its a very long list of symptoms. If this person has ADHD, then maybe they should seek help from a doctor rather than here. Only thing i can advise is: don't be watching any videos or anything, don't be reading while hearing a raid leader explain, and make sure to ask nicely that everyone speak 1 person at a time, and explain nicely that its hard to follow. Try to focus on one thing at a time, because thats how i do it. If the person is explaining a raid and lets say his name is cerioth lets say, use all your ounce of focus on hearing what serioth say, ignore the texts of others. I have explained that something can be hard to follow to leaders if a bunch of people interrupt eachother. It is definitely easier to follow if a bunch of people don't interrupt eachother.I find it Unhelpful that you are trying to tell someone that more than likely has been In Therapy, and therefore understands this condition well enough to live with it, and has developed adaptive coping strategies to deal with it, they they are wrong, because you read something online. I also have ADHD, along with Autism,.. and the way my Therapist explained it is: We have attention energy... and we have things we enjoy,... when something we experience is enjoyable we use less energy than the NT, and choose to remain fixated on that thing, sometimes to the exclusion of anything else. I have played MMO's sometimes for going on 12 to 18 hours, until I see the sun come up. On the other hand, if something is NOT entertaining, we lose MORE energy faster than NT's. Therefore, since it can be quickly exhausting our minds look about for something more fun to do... hence the fidgeting. Nervous energy, ..anxiety. Please, while your intentions may be good, The Road to hell is paved with them. What you are doing in trying to diagnose someone through their Posts, when that person More than likely has a therapist that has been treating them, and has diagnosed them, is harmful. Have a good day ?
