Being Black and ADHD 

This was a fantastic video. I'm italian and thai, grew up in both countries, and because of it something that i've always been able to do is get angry. Whenever i saw or heard any weird subliminal messaging which is how i call them i'd say no get mad or at the very least be visibly displeased and make the other person uncomfortable so they wouldn't bring up those topics again, but that's because the way thai people politely othered mixed kids worked in my favour and in italy, because i only look vaguely "exotic" but in an acceptable way. I'm also very small and people aren't programmed to perceive anything i do or say as violent. It's always really interesting hearing perspectives from black women to me because your experiences are so different from mine. In my entire uni class we only have two black kids. One's my group project mate, I get angry for him a lot. Once a guy made a black people can't swim joke to him and i hit him in the ribs before he could finish it n my friend could understand. I'm a huge believer in the more marginalised people hear something, even if not directed towards them, the worse it is for them. edit: and yeah fuck the cross section between people not expecting your entire category of people to succeed and adhd man.

thank you for continuing to make content. i have been searching for those that have a similar experience!

Thank you for posting this video. You have no clue how nice it feels to know there are other people who grew up in a similar circumstances. Ps. I'm Puerto Rican and black, my son is Pr, black Russian and I get mistaken as the nanny too.

You explained alot of what I feel and have felt for years!! I told myself that I will accept how I am more with my ADHD but the thoughts and experiences I have had for YEARS are so hard to break. It feels nice to know (not in a misery loves company way) that I'm not the only one this has happened too

Bruh... how is this video performing so much less than your others... sigh, sad. Anyway, I really appreciate you doing this. I have ADHD and I'm currently dealing with discrimination at work for both my brain and my skin color. It can really feel like a double barrel shotgun hitting you in the chest when you mix the two. I also had a similar demographic in my childhood education as you describe.
