Episode Details

Video is everywhere, but very little of it is designed with ADHD in mind.

In this Research Recap, Skye and William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD unpack a qualitative study exploring how people with ADHD actually experience video content. From captions to pacing to visual overload, they look at what helps, what hurts, and why one size never fits all.

They also talk about why many ADHD viewers adapt by speeding up videos, multitasking, or using video as background stimulation, and how those habits make a lot more sense once you understand the research.

This is a grounded look at accessibility, attention, and why flexibility matters more than rules when it comes to ADHD and learning.

What we cover

• How ADHD viewers experience video differently
• Why captions help some people and frustrate others
• The impact of pacing and playback speed on focus
• Why redundancy can improve comprehension
• What accessibility really means for ADHD
