He proves that you can detect an underdeveloped brain even without an MRI scan.

I was diagnosed at 42. Now I understand why I do. what I do. I went home and cried because I finally had answers
-
This is possibly the weirdest produced video I've seen from the BBC in a while. It feels likeba mockumentary
-
I've just been diagnosed with ADD at 48 thanks to my kids' school requesting them to be tested. It felt validating to know my limitations was not because of laziness.
-
this is a documentary bro 😭 stop trying to flirt(flirt???) with the doctor
-
He didn't understand anything she said.
-
"This is the typical task we do in an MRI scanner, with children with ADHD and normal children" Ouch
-
They're making a distinction between typical and atypical because ADHD is a medical diagnosis not a personality trait. You have to be impaired to get a medical diagnosis. There's nothing wrong with stating that fact. I have Asperger's syndrome myself and i have impairments. Doesn't mean I'm not competent or good at anything though. There's also people with much higher support requirements than i and it would be a travesty to keep the narrative of it's just a difference when it isn't and they require support.

Why is this researcher acting like ADHD is one size fits all? ADHD manifests in a variety of ways
-
This piece literally did not answer the question it proposed. I actually now have more questions. Did it fail?
-
He fully mocked her accent to her face 😂
-
It doesn't excuse his behaviour in the video, but the host in the video is Rory Bremner, a famous UK comedian and impersonator/impressionist.

This was far too short of a video. Where can I see the whole episode? I genuinely have ADHD and I'm trying to mitigate the stupid actions and crap that falls from my lips and the more information and understanding I have the more Adult like I can be, even though I am by all accounts an Adult. Just imagine being 45 and everyone looking at you like you're no more than 18 or 19.
-
a mite past 60 here. and I never knew I had this; knowing that it is a thing, and that it is my thing, sure explains alot
-
I just got diagnosed. After 50 it feels like vindication to get a diagnosis. Imposing norms shouldn’t be the standard response to differences.
-
So what does one do to inhibit poor impulse control of you have ADHD? Is it a matter of metacognition and restructuring though processes?
-
A surprisingly bad video by the BBC. From the weird presenter to the lack of scientific backing to the odd choices in words (although that might in part be a language barrier thing) this was just hard to watch.

More like an intro of an 70,s adult movie
-
I was diagnosed with adhd years ago, yet taken it off yet suspected autism, yet symptoms are similar. I could go but it's a joke 2 half years for autism test, big pharma don't profit. Buddhist practice helps but still homeless half my life failings ov a broken system. Co lab exeter never got 717 after care, blood money.

"underdeveloped" lol
