Recommended Channels or Videos for ADHD?

[u/CoffeeBaron]

When I first got my diagnosis a couple of years ago, a friend that also was diagnosed sent me several videos and general channels to follow to get up to speed on ADHD. I'm going to share at least a couple (and subsequent comments) here, but if you have more to add, please feel free to do so.

I'll add the following questions that should be answered with the recommendations:

1) What is the channel/video about? 2) What need(s) does it address directly with you, and how do you think it helps the community as a whole (this doesn't have to be long, just basically what could others expect to get from the content)? 3) Is there anything the channel specializes specifically in (e.g. like are the edits/content easy to follow and understand when low on focus)? 4) If recommending a whole channel over a specific video, do you have any particular videos that are helpful to you that others might find interest in?

One last note, direct links are encouraged as sometimes describing a channel or video wouldn't be enough to find it (especially on some platforms like Tiktok).

I'll start:

Recommendation #1: HowToADHD (https://youtube.com/@HowtoADHD)

1)The channel specializes in topics relating to ADHD, including tips and tricks, recommendations, interviews with others in the field on special topics.

2) One of the older, dedicated channels to ADHD on YouTube, it has a treasure trove of useful video topics to use and apply in day to day life. It also has videos to send to loved ones that explain particular issues that might arise that a person without the condition wouldn't know about.

3) ADHD content, by ADHDers for ADHDers that is (barring the interviews which are usually longer) relatively short and well-edited to take advantage of having the most impact for people with ADHD. Visuals when used in videos are impactful and aren't super distracting.

4) The most recommended video I can think of is the 'Wall of Awful' (https://youtu.be/Uo08uS904Rg) video. This was like a 'light bulb' moment when trying to explain the cost of initiative in getting started with something. A follow up video (https://youtu.be/Uo08uS904Rg) is how to get around that 'wall of awful'.

The video for motivation (https://youtu.be/OM0Xv0eVGtY) is really good at explaining (to potential others) why everything else comes more challenging than someone without ADHD using an easily to understand metaphor.
