He describes habits that other ADHD sufferers can relate to.

"I've got adult ADHD and mental health is something which is very important to me and I do a lot of fundraising and promotion online about it. I'm also a successful stand-up comedian and I make comedy viral videos; I've made a lot on parenting and life in general but I've started making them about the effects of having ADHD which everyone with it could relate to," said Ryan.

"At school I was told I'd never achieve anything or do anything and I've battled my demons and overcome my flaws to achieve more.

"I'm launching a new single all about ADHD and the effects of mental health later this year with all the proceeds going to charity, and I'm also looking at setting up my own foundation for children and teenagers with ADHD and adults with it too."
