He seems normal to me. But then again, I'm not good at analyzing these sorts of things.

I'm quite fond of my sprinkle-less vanilla ice cream.

I'm not sure I get it. Does the pill make him talk slower? :lol: I don't get what other effect it would have on the video (which is pretty funny anyway, by the way).

I thought it was pretty funny, too, and the effect of the pill is too make him "less hyper". Basically, he talks slower, with less enthusiasm and with more focus and less distractability.

The pill would balance him out; make him talk less fast and erratically. And with less creativity.

He's brilliant and that humor is very ADHD.

The pill for me can make me both concentrate and talk like this to people too. Combined ADHD means you never know just what mood you're going to be in or what you'll be like on your medication.

Haha! He talks just like my friend with ADHD. I love ADHD people. I really do. The only two people I have ever felt an instantaneous connection with both have ADHD. They are so funny and adorable!

Well, at least he never has to drink coffee. That guy is his own caffeine fix.
