The Simpsons Perfectly Represented ADHD (accidently) 

Yeah I didn't get diagnosed with ADHD until my late 20's after I had already failed everything.

"Stop being lazy!", my teachers said to me. Yeah, it's not that i am getting bullied, being severely depressed and having suicidal thoughts *sarcasm off*...

That medicine episode hits home like crazy. I had gone through a few different medicines for my ADHD and they either made me lethargic, angry, or uninterested. There’s a medicine *now* that works, but by time it was made public I had already picked up a model building hobby that gave me that focused drive. It’s almost ironic because my mother spent so many years worried that she had me misdiagnosed, and by the time we had definitive proof she wasn’t a bad parent it didn’t matter because we had found what works for me.

Major respect for talking about this so openly.

that one time Bart freaked the hell out and begged and pleaded for an extra shot, promising that he'd try harder, getting out of his chair and pacing a bit and shouting- that moment hit me so very hard. that was the exact same mantra i gave all the time in school and constantly failed to uphold my promise which made me feel like dogshit. i actually later found out the only reason why i wasn't ever held back was because between my frantic attempts to pass and the relentlessness bullying i faced, my teachers were pity bumping my grade to a passing one so i didn't fall behind and bullies didn't get more ammo. finding out about that _three years_ after dropping out from highschool actually made me cry, i was so distraught by the fact that what i thought was my hard work getting me along was actually just my teachers falsely holding me up to make me feel better.

I don't know why but The Cantina feels like that cool uncle who's relatable and likes your favorite video games

This is a better presentation on ADHD than any in my graduate program.

"Babe, wake up. There's a new The Cantina video."

Motivation is key as Bart has shown he's just as smart as Lisa but he also says being smart is boring , but the way he designs schemes and pranks shows his higher level of thinking. Also when he got interested in chemistry and was really good at it

Hey man, I'm a young teacher and I just want to say thank you for posting this. I took a class in college about learners with special needs, so I hope that the next generation of teachers pays more attention. BUT just listening to you talk through your struggles in school made ADHD seem so much more real and relatable than that class did a few years ago. I really appreciate that you went out of your way to share this - you're helping out my future kiddos!

I'm here with ya man. Not only do I have ADHD but I also suffer with autism. So I'm shit at social situations and a lot of times I would rather literally do anything else than what I'm currently doing.

I'm a girl with ADHD diagnosed last year at age 21. This video was SO relatable! It has unlocked some high school memories I forgot all about, like how I used to literally say, "Why should I study for this test when I'm gonna get the same grade if I don't study." Seriously, I'd get a C either way. Besides your videos being great and how much I love the Elder Scrolls, now I know why I love your channel for all these years. You're relatable! We have the same brain type🧠

Okay... As someone in their mid-thirties, I wonder if I have undiagnosed ADHD... Because this hit hard.

As someone who's gonna be a teacher, this is great insight and you did a fantastic job hitting the issues with teaching pedagogies we talk about for inclusive learning

Thank you for speaking so openly about this. I have ADHD, and it went undiagnosed until I was 18. At that point I was doing so badly in high school that I had to drop out. However, the end result was not all bad. I ended up going to a special ed college to study media production. It feels great to be at a school where my disability is accomodated for. I just wish we didn't *need* special schools like that. I wish all schools would have the resources to accomodate for these issues.

As someone who has had depression for most of their lives, I also am rather upset about the ignorance and stigma surrounding mental health. This needs to change.

That Bart Simpson mask!!! 😆😂🤣 It's for little things like this one that I love ❤ this channel. 😎👍

I love this. As someone who's been diagnosed with ADHD since I was 13 (I was a massive "troublemaker" but usually polite. Just a general problem with authority) I've done alot of research about how the brain works with ADHD. Our brains just learn differently.

Dont have adhd but i went through school with bipolar disorder. Still remember the endless detentions, crazy antics and fights followed by periods of crippling depression and lack of any motivation. Somehow came through it with good grades despite the teachers best attempts to paint me as abnormal and a problem child. It took me untill i was 24 through uni and in the workforce for someone to point out that my behaviours werent normal and I should probably see a psych.

As an afab person with ADD, I always saw Bart's ADHD interesting in relation to Lisa, who seems to also have some neurodivergence but in a way less obvious way compared to Bart. I find them both super relatable lol.

I totally feel you on this video, 100%. I was diagnosed with ADHD well into my adulthood. I moved from the US to Germany 2 years ago and it has been so frustrating trying to find a doctor who will prescribe medication and take it seriously. Adult ADHD in Germany is viewed with incredible skepticism and doubt, including both the public in general and doctors (even psychiatrists here). It has been an enormous challenge. Anyways, great vid, always a pleasure to watch the channel.

I feel you. I am a teacher in Australia and see children all the time that display ADHD traits. However all I can do is advise the parents of the observable behaviours and suggest they speak to a health professional. I can't even say that I believe they have ADHD or Dyslexia etc (Broken System). I then see the same kid go through their entire schooling where the parents don't want to get their child diagnosed due to them feeling it is a slight on their parenting skills or something. It is very sad. On the flip side I see kids get the help they need and the improvement in cognitive functioning is amazing. It not only helps them focus etc, but it greatly improves anxiety in older children. Great video and you really have shown a good insight into ADHD.

I really appreciate when people point out that ADHD doesn't just magically get better as you become an adult. For me, it kinda did, and then came back with a vengeance. I think my best productive years mentally were roughly ages 19-22 or so, but then from 24-28 or so, when I was in graduate school (I'm 29 now... and I dropped out of grad school! And I only finished College through luck!) I had just as much trouble as I did as a kid in elementary/middle/high school. I think my life situation at the various times had something to do with it, but it wasn't 100% that. I was diagnosed with ADD (or ADHD, whatever the terminology was at the time) when I was a young teen or late pre-teen. I also think I have some undiagnosed bipolar or anxiety disorder. They don't interact well.

One of your best videos. This hit very close to home for me.

Thank you. Telling someone to go see a psychologist/psychiatrist is already way, way more helpful than whatever "advice" I have been given for 21 years.

3:27 very relatable. I had guidance counselors telling me to drop out because failure is inevitable. I ended up just cheating on everything to get by. It’s like we were put through so much hell to remember things we’d never need to know.

One problem with the school system for kids with ADHD (like me) is that it kind of judges you by what you're worst at, even though in the professional world it's how good you are at your best skill that matters most (although executive function is still an issue of course). I had top grades in programming, which was the career I was interested in, but since I failed Swedish, German, History and a few other classes which were really irrelevant, I couldn't go to university. After 7 years of crappy jobs, living on welfare and being depressed, I managed to get an internship as a programmer and started learning more on the job, now 5 years later I have the same salary as those with university degrees, even though I failed highschool. But if things had gone differently I might still be living on welfare.

Wow, just saw this video on my homepage and I totally understand this, as someone who has both ADHD and Aspergers, teachers in elementary school didn’t understand my ADHD and basically punished me for no reason, I resonate with you dude. Also keep up the good work!

Ah ADHD. It has throttled my life, all life and is one of the most tiresome things to have at times. Super awesome that you made a video on this type of topic bro :) good video and great insight into the simpsons with it

Wow channel profile has changed. My anxiety doesn't feel good about this. Btw I'm learning from this video as a teacher in the making. Thanks for being open about this. World needs things like this

That whole “goody two shoes but in detention a lot” thing doesn’t even strike me as contradictory. I was deemed a “gifted kid” because I could read at a ridiculously young age, and didn’t get properly diagnosed with ADHD until my mid-20’s. So when stuff got bad, I didn’t get the right help so much as constantly told I wasn’t trying enough and living up to my potential as The Smart Kid. Solid D student from middle school on, goody two shoes, except never doing homework and always in trouble at home for it. If anything, getting in that much trouble for Brain Shit despite trying so hard for so long I burned out made me MORE of a goody two shoes in every other regard. I felt bad, but couldn’t willpower my way out of the shit I was getting in trouble for, so I doubled down on people pleasing. Having undiagnosed ADHD, being a goody two shoes, and still managing to land in detention all the time makes a lot of sense IMO (This video may be a break from the channel’s usual topics but it’s really good! Thanks for making it)

7:08 I always liked how Bart wasn’t actually an idiot like you’d think.

Cantina's Math Teacher: The numbers Mason. What do they mean!?

It’s honestly nice to hear about someone else’s experience with ADHD. I was lucky enough to be diagnosed early in my schooling, and even then school could be a struggle. I remember always being one of if not the last person to finish almost every test I’ve ever taken.

I have almost the same situation - I have had MS for longer than anyone thought - since early childhood, I have had symptoms but was never sent for an MRI or CT scan. Thus I have always struggled to make choices and this has definitely affected my life negatively. If they had just done more testing instead of associating my symptoms with "stress" - I could have taken preventative medication and not have so much brain damage. Doctors don't really care. They just want to quickly diagnose you so they can get to their next patient/customer.

Very well done video, alot of people go through life with ADHD and other disorders without knowing until later in life. It's sad when people are put under alot of pressure and aren't given the help they need. Keep up the videos, here great. Hope good things for you.

I have adhd and in the bart gets an F scene when he cried out loud ,,i really am a failure" i cried with relatableness like geez simpsons what the hecc you didnt have to do that

My boy Canned Tuna!

Class was for daydreaming, books were for doodling, homework was for the leprechauns, projects were for my mother, and studying was an imaginary activity. Yet, I always managed to get a slightly above average report card.

As someone with ADHD (diagnosed in first grade), I had been on tons of different meds (at different times) to get me to focus. They all had negative side effects, such as making me depressed, restless, unappetized, and anti-social, and generally I hated being on them. They did help me focus, but after around 12 years of taking these drugs, I’m now in college and either rely on these drugs to get by, or struggle immensely to pay attention and succeed in school. I worry that years of anti-social behavior and chemical focus have created a college student with poor social skills who never learned to deal with his lack of motivation and attention span without the help of drugs. This is why I believe the anti-medication stance is warranted, I mean sure, these drugs help in the moment, but in the long run I feel I’ve accumulated mental issues. Of course, these drugs effect everyone differently, but I think putting children on a psychoactive drug every day for the foreseeable future is overkill, if I’d had adderall to help me study for a big test or do home work a few times per week, I don’t think I would have the same complaints, or at least to a lesser degree.

Studying never worked for me either. I don't think I have ADHD, but probably autism (I'm not dignosed). I did and still do get Bs or Cs most of the time. No matter how hard I studyied the marks just stayed the same or got worse. So I just stoped. As soon as I got into a big university I just started getting Fs in everything and I droped out and enrolled in one with smaller classes and started getting Bs again. The most upsetting parts for me are when I know other students don't put any effort into something, but still get a much better mark than me.

Literally in the same boat as you! Went through school and dropped out of Uni not knowing I had adhd and my god, does so much of my life make so much more sense now. Kind of feel I've still got the mind of a child. Bart trying to vizualise the math problem in his head is really familiar, you try to think through something and despite all the data being really basic and simple you get overwhelmed by the fact there's multiple pieces of it and get flustered and can't process it.

This really struck home for me, I was undiagnosed until 20 and was also in the “gifted student” classes and programs when in middle through high school and my parents never understood when I told them it was just too overwhelming and that I literally couldn’t handle the 4+ hours of daily homework plus be expected to study and pass tests. I ended up not doing any homework my entire high school career and just coasted by on tests.

I did terrible in school and felt miserable my whole time in school because of my undiagnosed autism and adhd, I don't know how it wasn't caught it's so obvious now, teachers really need to be taught warning signs and be regularly tested on their ability to recognize those warning signs or something

Dude this is awesome! You could help people who may struggling with issues and not know it. I've only recently requested to be tested for autism as my wife (who works with persons with autism) has said for years that I have a lot of signs and I'm 30. I haven't yet been tested but it does make sense when I started looking through my past. Although as an adult there's little that can be done with these conditions it can offer you a lot of peace when you realise that you aren't just some weirdo, that there is, or in my current case could be, a reason that you are the way you are and were. Fair play to you Mason for being open about it. I tilt my hat to you sir.

Damn, this hit hard. Very well thought out and interesting. I enjoyed your analysis, and even more so your personal stories.

Being a "gifted kid" in addition to having ADHD means that I always aced all my tests without studying, and then ended up with Cs in my classes because I only turned in half of the homework assignments. Somewhere along the way I picked up an anxious reaction to essays, applying for things, and improv. Which, lemme tell you, is *not ideal* for adulthood.

I’ve always struggled with exams or anything that involves summarizing because what I think is interesting/important and thus what I actually remember is usually not what the teacher thought was important. It’s a miracle that I graduated college. I couldn’t have done it without accommodations from our access center like my own quiet room to test in and extended time.

I’m very lucky to be diagnosed very young. That Bart episode is just so sad

I really respect your ability to discuss your personal story so openly. I was diagnosed with ADD at a young age then depression and anxiety at a later age. Both of which affected my academic and personal life. Though we don't share the exact same issues, I'm happy I can relate to one of my favorite content creators.

As an applied psychologist who has done some research on ADHD, I can give you some tips if you want to. For example, regular exercise in so-called randomized controlled trials has proven to be as effective as Ritalin. Even though it's not as long-lasting, it has no potential negative side-effects. I have other recommendation as well if you want to know. It has a lot to do with the dopamine systems in the brains, but other neurotransmitters are involved as well

It's especially frustrating when you're a girl as ADHD manifest differently. I'm sure I have ADHD, spouse thinks he has ADHD (testing is expensive so we haven't gotten diagnosed) and we're pretty sure kiddo had ADHD but the teacher is dismissing it because they don't recognize the signs that manifest in girls.

This is quite an eye opener. Thanks for video. I know it can be quite difficult to be open about yourself when it comes to such things. So Thank you.

Cantina I love your videos man please keep making them! They're so honest and relatable

in highschool i was put in a special math class where it basically taught us beginner middleschool math again, which felt pretty embarrassing. i remember when we were relearning pos/neg numbers, which i did my best to study. in the end i failed the test and cried the entire day. not because i got a bad grade, but that the leading week the teacher kept drilling in our heads "this test is easy, you should be able to pass it by using this very simple method" which dragged my self-esteem for sure. tldr; yeah i relate to bart too

So cool of you to raise awareness with this video! Way to go man!

I was a kid who literally would tell my teachers people learn differently and I can't learn the way they teach. I would get told I was stupid and a child that didn't know anything. That's another thing just cause you learn differently doesn't mean you need "special" class just means you retain information differently. Anyway In like 2007 a year after I graduated they did the study that found people have like 3 or 4 different ways of learning and some need multiple to retain the information given. But all school I struggled to remember anything. Well I was ok at history but was always motivated by history as well.

This video was amazing, so honest and interesting! Great work!

0:07 thank God i thought bart took over your channel

Hey there! Thank you for the video. This was very educational, and you have a way of explaining stuff in a very simple and relatable way! I don't have ADHD, but I've had plenty of trouble at school nonetheless, being a somewhat neglected and very troubled child. I think the general problem with schools is that the teachers are not really trying to see people as individuals. Well, if you look at the society in general, very few people are actually capable of that. And even parents struggle greatly... they will just reflect their own expectations on you, and if you don't meet them, that's where you're in trouble. People are not led much to being empathetic. I think videos like yours are very important for people to understand what really happens and that they should really think about such stuff before judging. I wish it reached more people, honestly. In any case, you did something great.

They should make a sitcom where there's a "dumb" character *BUT* that character actually has dyslexia, and instead of being treated like an idiot, his friends just try to help him remember and understand stuff.

8:14 this kinda happened to me - i am autistic and have been diagnosed since i was 7 or 8, but i was handed a cormorbid diagnosis of adhd and prescribed amphetamines because i was performing poorly in school. i ended up severely addicted to that medicine when i was in high school and abused it pretty badly because it wasn't what I needed from the start, as evidenced by my performance in school hardly improving relative to the aid it should have given me. i still consider myself a person with adhd since there is so much overlap with being autistic, but i really wish mental health practitioners had given a shit about my development beyond making me more mallaleable by/performant within the american public school system

This video, and this episode... explains a lot. I've been dealing with the recent realisation I have ADHD, yeah now. I'm 25 in a few months. And I've only seen a handful of Simpsons episodes, but if I'd seen this or my parents seen this when I was a kid (as they are pretty understanding. Or my mum at least especially), then I probably would have realised then. But I've gone undiagnosed even today officially. I was diagnosed with a little bit of autism too when I was 11, but no one told me when I was 16, right after graduating school. Knowing I had those too probably would have helped a great deal in my high school years. Instead I failed pretty much every class lol. I do owe that to my teachers too. I hated that school then, I hate it now, and the place was just oblivious to everything. Anyway, another great video! Love how you're drifting away from almost-purely Oblivion videos and the way you're doing it. (Don't stop doing Oblivion videos though, it's my favourite Elder Scrolls game)

Thanks for sharing man. As a fellow adult ADD guy I feel you. Honesty I could listen to you read a phone book. Your voice rocks. Also this video is also great. Thanks for all your stuff.

Thank you for making this video.

I was diagnosed at a young age and was forced to take a variety of meds or I couldn't go to school. Became a robot in 3rd grade and didn't eat anything. Did the best in school at 3rd grade, then when I got of that specific medication it dropped dramatically.

Just be yourself. I love your videos dude. Regardless of any adhd. I'm glad you have remedied your issue. Sorry that you had to grow up undiagnosed. That would have been hard. I'm glad you've grown into a success regardless. Keep up the great videos dude.

Having ADHD and being the youngest kid in a family that always considered studying as the only important thing to do in life, I had an hell of a childhood/boyhood. Literally.

had the same experience, but with ASD didn't get diagnosed until last year, and had this period of looking back at characters(mostly animated) that were representations of autism and i related to but never understood why

I struggled with ADHD as a kid and this video got me emotional 😢. Well done 👏🏻. I always loved Bart and perceived him the same way as you.

I appreciate everythin you said about test-culture and adhd, because even with several days of studying, and practically knowing everything off the top of my head, I still tend to bomb the test which makes me feel really guilty and isn't great for my self-esteem either. So knowing that the systemm wasn't designed for me does relieve some of the guilt so thank you :)) tl;dr school: a place where YOU pay for trauma and self-esteem issues :DD

3:16 This happened to me in math class, ‘pay better attention’, “Do better!” “Everyone else can do this!”

this is faucking relatable my teachers always said : " "He" is smart but lazy" and now I am 23 and dropped out of uni and dont have a diagnose yet as most psychologist I went to(for different reasons) sucked or have year long waiting lists

ill ask the Oblivion related question, why does Nirnroot make noise when other plants dont?

Yeah, this hit really close to home. Great video!

I'm glad you are the way you are mate because you create great material

thanks for sharing that with us. It was really interesting!

Also its mentioned in Better Off Ned that Bart takes riddalin on a regular basis so I'm glad he found something that works

Man the production quality is soo good man keep it up bro💝

I'm going through this but not with ADHD, with Autism. I have barely told anyone I have it. My teachers expect me to be like the other kids. I listen but still end up not getting a good grade. They don't really know I'm different, they see the signs and just play it off like it's normal. Not to mention I also have anxiety (Diagnosed, Severe Anxiety) I'm so anxious about failing that I don't study, which might sound stupid. Which, yeah, it is. But that's just what my brain does. If I don't study, I might end up forgetting about it just to get very anxious when I take it. I can't help the difference. I wish I could, then I wouldn't be scared. But, oh well, I can't change anything. I should be proud of the difference. That's what everyone who isn't different says.

Im 13- diagnosed with ADHD - take 4 pills a day- and i have never related more to a youtube video. I finally understand so many things now. Thank you

I feel this man. Harder to get used to now that we're older than when younger. Chores, life, all that shit. Hope youre doing well, either way. Try to focus where you can, but dont give yourself too much shit if you cant. Just make sure youre managing those priorities. P.S...still tear up when I see that episode. One of the best episodes outside of Frank Grimes...which also hits home. P.P.S...episode's writer dealt with this as a kid as well. Not Graening, but one of the other early writers. Sorry for the random edits but this episode means a lot to me, and I had to remember a lot while going through your review. Literally just got to the memory part of your review and my mind screamed 'EXACTLY'...so i should stop typing. Guess my point is there are tons of people our age that didnt know til trying to get into adulthood. It fucking sucks. But you have a good channel, great charisma, and if you can focus into this, you will do well. You re a charming guy, and I wish you well. ....last episode you spoke about hits hard in older age. Sorry I was commenting as I went. Wanted to be able to document it as I went. Listening is a go...sort of thing. I should really shut up now.

This whole video hit different for me it was very nice to see the cantons become like a talk show and now I can say I relate to you and Bart cause I'm also struggling with adhd and school, sincerely not a good combination but I love ya cantina no homo been watching you for YEARS my dude keep up the good work

I hated school because of multiple reasons. They taught it one way and I never understood it because I learn differently. School exhausted me because I was learning in ways that were not helpful to me. The only class I love and I was good at was history. I was good at gym class, too. I was diagnosed with autism and OCD when I was two. I have anxiety (diagnosed at age 7) and depression (diagnosed at age 16), and I think I have ADHD. I am in college, but I am not going to finish because of two classes that are mental torture to me. I am just taking classes that interest me (about history), and to soak up some more knowledge about history. I am staying because of friends at college and good history classes. I commute to my college. I live at home. I am considering just going to work soon, and quitting school. I have a job, and I would much rather do that than two math classes and a lab science course, or two.

I went undiagnosed in large part because I wasn't failing, and actually did really well in school. In my case, I would get incredibly bored in class, so I would read ahead in the textbook, since it was the only thing I could do when I was bored that didn't get me yelled at. The result was I was consistently ahead of my peers on the material we were supposed to be learning, but it was basically all from independent studying. In math class in particular, I remember being utterly incapable of memorizing the formulas we were supposed to be learning, and instead I ended up completely re-deriving the formulas themselves from first principles during the test, because that was actually easier for me than just remembering the damn formulas. I got a lot of stern talks about how long I was taking on my tests, even though the answers I was able to give were right. A constant refrain was "you're a smart kid, but you need to apply yourself more". There were lost homework assignments that I'd done, but never turned in throughout my academic career. One teacher I remain convinced was "losing" them on purpose because he didn't like me. I tended to mouth off to authority figures a lot, in the form of correcting them when they were wrong about something. That teacher led to me basically saving extra copies of assignments so I would have proof that I'd done them. I recall one particular incident, a research paper. No recollection of what the subject was. I just know it was one of those long, unstructured projects that you worked on little by little over the year, eventually turning the thing in at the end to be graded. I had no clue how to structure the workload, and had a complete breakdown over it. And when I came to my parents sobbing about the stress, they looked at me like I was crazy, effortlessly broke down the project, and after it was over, I still had no idea how they'd done it. Bart's self-loathing and self-injury behavior in the clips here was definitely stuff I was dealing with, even as "one of the smart ones", since everything took so much time and effort, and all that effort ended up accomplishing so little. The constant knowledge that I could do better if I just tried harder if I just "cared", even as I was burning myself out. I graduated college, lost one job when my supervisor got replaced with one who was more hands off on project management. Nearly lost a second job after unrelated health issues (including nearly dying from undiagnosed celiac disease and suffering from undiagnosed sleep apnea) pushed my stress levels up and left me unable to focus on anything even after the physical issues were resolved. That led me to speaking to a mental health professional and finding out I have ADHD at nearly 40 years old. So much makes so much sense now. Bart Gets an F was an episode I identified with so hard, even though I'd never actually gotten an F on anything.

this is great tysm for this

6:49 I have to agree I've gotten worse grades studying the night before then just winging it.

Wow, this was kinda fantastic. As a 14 year old that was just diagnosed with A.D.D 3 months ago it was strange seeing how genuinely relatable Bart was. While I’m not hyperactive I do have severe attention problems and I SUCK at taking tests or doing uninteresting tasks like chores and it really sucks because my Lexile and Language/Literature grades are actually quite high but committing to tests and doing homework is just such a struggle. I really appreciate you Cantina😁

I wanna say, thank you Cantina for making this video. I always knew something was "wrong" with me but couldn't put my finger on it. This video made me realize I might have ADHD. The only problem is, my mom is convinced ADHD is BS (from the over-diagnosing moms back in the early late 90s/2000s as you mentioned) and I know I can't go tell her i need help. And yet, its devastating my life. BUT. Much like this video made me realize I might have it, you probably just had several other people come to the same conclusion and hopefully went and got tested. That's cool as hell.

What's the point of the treadmill? He just thought he was fat.

yeah man, i was fortunate to figure it out sophomore year in college. Took me 8 years to graduate but I did it!! I once had a microbiology professor pull me into her office and say "hey, your one of my most knowledgable students with microbio in class, what's going on?". As she handed me a badly flunking midterm. I was that kid who wouldnt shut up in class with answering questions. I should add that I was volunteering at a systematics lab and had studied microbio for years for fun hahah. Sorry, it took you so long.. its really frustrating to hear about these cases where students just need a different way of learning. take care !

damn this is so relatable, I always did better on tests if I didn't study too (not much better but still noticeable). I'm also diagnosed with ADHD as an adult so that makes sense. Thanks for the great videos, especially this one!

As someone who has had ADHD since he was 11, this video hits hard Mason. I am 21 now and I think this is actually one of your best videos. Thank you.

Everytime I watch a Cantina video im so looking forward to him saying "you friggin jerk" or "you dirty sonovagun" but even when he dont. I throughly enjoy the video :) this one was especially special, dig it!

It can be a slippery slope when a teacher suggests to a parent to have their child evaluated.

Great video sir! Looks like you changed your room up a some.

I have autism and I wasn’t officially diagnosed with having autism until I was 24 years but I think I might possibly have abit of ADHD beaches 🤔

Makes me think more about our school systems, which a lot of seems based on temporarily memorizing things, instead of actually learning them. Sure the basics are learned which is good, math, reading, etc. But think about things like history, can anyone actually remember what they learned for a specific test they took? I can't because it was just temporarily memorizing them for the test, than that information is gone later.

Cantina the honest king. Love your commentary dude

Love youuuu, love this video! Helped me realize I might have ADHD or something similar because I can relate so well with this video.
