ADHD and Infodumping #adhd #shorts

Elaine Oliver

Ugh. A short can make me cry?! The timing of this one was perfect. I have been in a bit of a shame spiral today after doing this with friends after a big trip last night. Once again, naming it helps so so so much to know it’s just how I’m wired, not because there is something wrong with me. So freeing to learn this term to allow me to be more patient with myself. Thank you.

Yeah it's an issue on Patreon's side so I don't know exactly what might be causing it. Thanks for letting us know! We'll just keep posting shorts with their video link that way if the video itself doesn't work the link will. 😊 - Harley

Not sure if some of the security setting on my phone or PC were interfering with things but I had to use the link at the bottom of the post.

This was useful. I didn't know there was a term for it. I do it sometimes. I have an urge to do it more. I know someone who does it a lot. Mostly an ASD type of brain

On Chrome on Windows, clicking the "video" didn't work, but the link posted below did work. When I click on the "video", it just shows this URL: "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hY2VKYcWwLA/hq2.jpg". It doesn't link to the URL, it just shows the text. If I put that URL into my browser, it shows the thumbnail image for the video. Oops, I just infodumpted there a bit... :D

Thanks everyone! It seems that mobile versions (such as cellphone or iPad) open it correctly but non-mobile versions don't work appropriately. So for future I'll post the video AND the link that way if the video isn't working, you'll still have the link to take you to the video. Thank you all for helping me semi-figure out this mystery! 😄 Hope you enjoyed the short <3 - Harley Community Manager

I don’t think there would be anything wrong in saying “I’m sorry I appear to be rambling and I didn’t intend to.”

Clicked the link while on my phone and took me right to the video in the YouTube app. I’ve gotten better at recognizing that I’m infodumping since getting married, my wife is awesome about being patient with it.

Worked great, just opened the YouTube app automatically when tapped. Does anybody else have it where they sometimes recognize they might be info dumping and get anxiety or burnt out not wanting to talk but not being able to stop? I'm pretty introverted and get pretty tired out from talking but feel like I can't stop once the flood gates seem to be opened. Anyone have any strategies for managing this?

Now there is a name for what I always regret doing…

Worked clicking from the email to Patreon to playing the short.

Excellent! Had to click through the link to YT on my PC, but was well worth it 😁👍

After I clicked on the video it opened in my Youtube app, which is okay I think. I’m on iPadOS.
