Michael claims he has ADHD…in a vlog, he said he watched a video about ADHD and he believes he has ADHD behaviors. Based on his self diagnosis, he says he went on medication (not sure how he obtained the meds…he didn’t specify; online ordering maybe?). To be honest, I DO think Michael probably has ADHD. Inability to focus, gets bored easily, perfectionism, procrastination (need for perfection is so strong that the person would rather delay a project than get started and do it “wrong”). With ADHD, structure and rigidity is actually detrimental…it’s like being in a cage. Michael said he was fired from every job he ever had…probably because he found it extremely hard to adhere to a rigid structure. Making YouTube videos and artwork is a good “job” for him because he can do it in his own timeframe and on his own terms.
Having said that, ADHD isn't an excuse to con people, grift, or e-beg for money and then not follow through. Yes, if Michael does have ADHD, he really needs a medical diagnosis, prescribed medication (if the doctor says it’s needed), and ongoing therapy/counseling to help him manage.
