Verbal Processors with ADHD

Transcript:

A lot of people with ADHD are verbal processors, which is actually a form of hyperactivity.

But they are someone who needs to talk out loud to learn what they think or feel about something.

Sometimes you need to talk it through with multiple people just so they can process the intensity or the emotion of an experience out of their body. Almost like they have no choice if they want to move on with their lives. And a lot of verbal processors need their communication to be mirrored back at them.

For example-

Left: My friend stood me up AGAIN. Like I just feel like she doesn't even think I'm important in her life

Right: Oh my god she stood you up AGAIN? Hey, I don't blame you for not feeling important

.

Or it could look like-

Left: I'm thinking about getting a haircut. Like I kinda want to chop it all off. Not really sure how I feel about it. Like with that. Would I get sick of it? I don't know or maybe it would feel really good

Right: Oh my gosh I can't believe you're thinking of cutting your hair. What's making you wanna hold back?

And some people can have these verbal processing things with themselves. And some people need other people.

One more thing to know about verbal processors is that interrupting them can have consequences. They're working out an idea; you do NOT want to interrupt them. Because if you do, they might have to start over again

On the other hand, sometimes we get caught in a loop. So you gotta get to know your friends who are verbally processing with you

Are you a verbal processor? Let me know in the comments if you’re the type who should be interrupted 😂 #verbalprocessor #adhdsymptoms #adhdcheck #neurospicy #adhdproblems

Pull Yourself Up By Your Boot Straps

Transcript:

It's weird that we judge people who MAKE minimum wage, and not the people that PAY it. Whenever I hear about someone making minimum wage, it's always

They're lazy They're just flipping patties

But whenever I hear about a job PAYING minimum wage, it's always

They're doing the best they can They're job creators

Sure, but when you wanna talk about doing the bare minimum, shouldn't we talk about a job that is literally paying the bare minimum?

I mean, if this economic system works -- which eh -- then shouldn't the amount of money you pay incentivize the kind of work you get?

You might say, "No, you should work as hard as you can at every job you get."

So what you're saying is, you want a level of work that is inconsistent with the pay you are giving?

It sounds like you're saying you want a labor handout. And I thought we don't take kindly to handouts in this country brother

So if you're gonna use that kind of language, why not direct it at employers?

So the next time you get bad service at a place, instead of directing ALL your anger at the cashier,

you should get mad at the employer, who should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and pay more

This is such a good way to teach English to East-Asian-language speakers! The way English is… reverse-romanized? into languages like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc is honestly really inaccurate and unhelpful a lot of the time. This is because English has a LOT of consonants all packed next to each other, whereas in these languages, you put a vowel between and after almost every consonant. When English words are translated into these languages, people often try to transfer every single consonant in the word: which is how, using one of my favorite Korean examples, your 2-syllable “skateboard” becomes an atrocious 6-syllable “seukeiteubodeu” (스케이트보드). But if, when transferring words — and teaching English — you focus less on how they’re written and more on how they’re pronounced, it sounds way more natural and makes speaking English way easier!
