Welcome back to "Neurodiverse Friends" with Pixi & co. - Cats on the Spectrum! With Pixi, Aspy, Bipo, and Mania playing video games, let's explore the key differences between ADHD and Bipolar Disorder, two often confused but distinct conditions. ADHD is a processing disorder characterized by hyperactivity, impulsivity, and attention difficulties, whereas Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder marked by intense mood swings, including manic and depressive episodes. I hope you enjoy it.

Autism is just casually gaming and literally everyone else is freaking out over something

Same, I have Asperger Syndrome and ADHD, but usually not too hyper. When I was in the video game club at my college campus, most of the people were wild, loud, and pretty much said some weird stuff, while me and a friend would be in the background just playing our game.

I love the redesigns! It makes them look more like just angsty tweens going through a phase or style instead of looking closer to a stereotype💛 i also love how you show the symptoms, not demonizing anyone with disorders while having episodes or symptoms. Its really cool to see the subtle aspecs of it too, like how aspy stays focused on the game throughout the video and how the twins's depressive state is caused by the TV breaking, instead of being completely random.

I am ADHD, and I love this series. I also serve as the leader/problem solver of my friend group. One minor inaccuracy, when an ADHD person is hyper focusing, we can outlast pretty much everyone and have no idea how much time has passed.

@PixiGags Месяц назад

Hi @benjaminmarshall5071! I’m glad to hear that you love the series and that it resonates with you. Thank you for pointing out the nuance about hyperfocus-it’s definitely true that when someone with ADHD is deeply engaged in something, they can lose track of time completely. I appreciate your input and will keep this in mind for future episodes. All the best to you and your friends! 😺☘

@Benrob0329 Месяц назад

It looked like they got overstimulated (thus the pacing) and then the exhaustion from breaking a long hyperfocus kicked in.

@Headlessgenie Месяц назад

Yeah i was also confused how they just tuckered out. Few days ago i spent... upwards of 10 hours playing ck3. 7 am. I also spent 3 hours straight when i found an animated series on youtuhe between 2 and 5 am back in 2020

@The_Red_Scare Месяц назад

Yeah, I was confused about that. I'm medicated, but if I'm enjoying something or get fixated with something, I'm sticking with that thing for as long as I can. Maybe I'll have to give up and drop it if I'm not making any progress with it (like if it's a problem I'm trying to solve), but you'd bet I'm still thinking about it and coming back to it multiple times like a stubborn animal. Then again, maybe the cat got bored partway through and lost interest after overcoming a tough challenge and nothing else in the game compared to that challenge, so the fixation just broke.

@averyjohnson1248 Месяц назад

For me, it really depends on what else is going on and how interested I personally am with something. I can focus entirely on some video games and keep playing for hours, but I can get really distracted and restless as well, especially with some movies for some reason. But even that isn't consistent I can also really resonate with having tons of energy when doing something and then just crashing as soon as I am no longer actively engaged with something

Love how the bipolar cat represents the manic phase as gaming and you are so exited to read so you start to jump around and hou the depressive phase is when your console/tv breaks and you get very sad ❤❤😂😂😊😊😊😊

Hi @xxzoomfractalchannelxx8676! I’m so glad you enjoyed the representation of bipolar disorder in this episode! It’s wonderful to hear that the depiction of the manic phase as gaming and the depressive phase with the broken console resonated with you. I try to balance humor and empathy to make these experiences both relatable and informative. Thank you for your support, and take good care! ✌😺

To be fair, as an ADHD person, I can definitely stay on something like gaming for a long time if I'm into it. _Too_ long, even. Cute animation, though!

Oh yes, Pixi has quite a collection! This way, they don’t have to spend extra screen time looking for props. 😺✌

This short series on RU-vid has really explained to me more about myself than I can imagine, I’ve had adhd ever since I was born, and these animations about cats are by far the most relatable and accurate portrayals of adhd I’ve ever seen, and it’s helped me learn about other Neurodiverse conditions that people can have without them being portrayed in a negative light, like how this animation is one of the first I’ve seen of bipolar disorder without it being shown as compulsively violent or cruel, it a a breath of fresh air seeing these syndromes being show as something that isn’t the harmful stereotype, thank you.

@PixiGags Месяц назад

Hi @parkervance3646! I’m incredibly touched by your message. I’m so glad to hear that the series has helped you understand ADHD and other neurodiverse conditions better, and that it portrays these experiences in a positive light. Thank you for your kind words and support! 💖😺

I love that they are like "Yeah, it's ok if you don't play" bc nobody payed attention that the taller one got away from the controller And then everyone smiled and decided collectively to forgot about the broken tv, bc they didn't wanted to focus on that. They were smarter… They knew their friendship mattered more than a broken tv.

@ManyArmedMooseDei Месяц назад

Being an ADHDer and autist is often like this; either calmly enjoying something for an extended duration of time, or getting too excited while doing something enjoyable. The latter leads to having to take a break to pace while doing breathing exercises because the excitement has triggered an epinephrine release, so heart rate is going far too fast for the situation, which doesn’t feel pleasant. But the extent of our focus knows almost no bounds when things balance right, leading to my having spent five hours at a time working on my vehicle, musing about various aspects of it, from the inventor of diesel engines Rudolph Diesel and how pleased he would be by the advancements in renewable fuel these days, and generally having the entire world beyond the garage cease to exist for a bit. It’s nice.
