Everytime this crosses my dash my eyes light up because I know my favourite part is coming. Spring. Spring. Spring. Spring. Spring.
are you unemployed? has it been a while since youve thought about killing yourself? dont worry, indeed dot com can change one of those things
poll time. do you have a job?
yes, full time
yes, part-time
self-employed/freelancing/etc.
student
no
see results/other
every once in a while i learn some wild new piece of information that explains years of behavior and reminds me that i will never truly understand everything about my ridiculous adhd brain
ok what the fuck who was gonna tell me this isnt normal
what the fuck you mean to tell me that the way that i comically slide around things wasn't just me naturally shitposting
maybe the neurotypicals are just trolling us
THAT'S WHY I DO THAT?!?!?
it is in times like these that it is helpful to remember that all of medical science that isn't like, infectious disease, but PARTICULARLY psychiatry is a bunch of fake ass idiots who dont know how to do science, and when you hear about it on tiktok, it's being reinterpreted through somebody even dumber who is lying to you for clicks. as such you should treat anything they say as lies.
u do this wiggle because it's a normal thing to do.
anyways i looked at this paper. they stick people (n=32) on a wii balance board for 30 seconds and check how much the center of gravity moves. for AHDH patients, it's 44.4 ± 9.0 cm (1 sigma) and for non ADHD patients its 39.5 ± 7.2 cm (1 sigma)
so like. at best the effect size is 'wow. adhd people shift their weight, on average, a tiny bit more than non-adhd people, when told to stand still'.
in summary, don't trust tiktok, and:
ALT
^^^^
by "eyeball statistics" that's weak as hell. if you actually check the p-value with, like, welch's t-test you get p = 0.1 - not statistically significant at 0.05, which is a pretty low bar. if you think about it for like 5 seconds, you might remember that just about everyone walks like this when they're trying to go somewhere in a hurry.
especially for pop-sci around neurodivergence, and especially if your primary reaction is "that's so relatable!" or "I didn't realize that was only a <diagnosis> thing!" - and ESPECIALLY if that trait is something which would not be negatively impacting your life - I encourage you to take a sec to check whether there's any basis to it at all.
FUCKING THANK YOU.
I was here like 'DODGING OBJECTS IN YOUR WAY cannot POSSIBLY have anything to do with this shit', and I'm happy that someone else actually looked into it.
id like to add as well that though "postural sway" appears to be an actual technical term, it doesnt seem to refer to the behaviour described visually in the video (leaning your way around things when walking). Rather, in the study, it's described like this:
ALTA non-academic article referencing the study described it like this:
ALTso even if there were a statistically significant difference, it wouldnt even be referring to the behaviour shown in the video, but something much less visually striking.
so yeah dont trust random ass tiktok videos and tumblr posts
as soon as this motherfucker started talking about "the amount of grey matter in the brain" i knew id was some tiktok bullshit. Ive read about postural sway and that ain't it. Ty for correcting
this oppressive southern weather is terrible for boys like me who only want one thing: to dress like a dripped out politburo member in the middle of a strong soviet winter
this is basically the only other option here & i don't have the fat boy joie de vivre to pull it off
are you really gonna hate a playa just cuz he's got a couple nukes?
