Support Groups

Support groups are a powerful source of comfort when participants discover -- sometimes for the first time -- that they're not on their own. While many of these support groups are peer-led however, there are also national organizations that organize regional events and networking. ADDitude magazine, for example offers a range of virtual peer-support groups for its readers, such as ones for adults who have recently been diagnosed, couples impacted by ADHD as well as intellectually gifted adults, and people looking for work.

Meetings are typically held at a convenient time and location, but online support groups exist to help people who have scheduling conflicts connect with peers from around the country. A quick Google search can provide a wide range of virtual options and new groups are being formed every day as ADDA members share their personal requirements and experiences. A majority of these groups are free but some charge a fee to cover advertising costs and pay speakers.
