Support Groups
Support groups can be a great source for comfort as participants discover -- sometimes for the very first time -- that they're not the only ones. While many of these groups are peer-led, there are national organizations that sponsor regional events and networking. ADDitude magazine, for example offers a range of peer-support groups online to its readers, including ones for adults who have recently been diagnosed, couples impacted by ADHD as well as people with intellectually gifted individuals and those looking for jobs.
Meetings are usually scheduled at time and location, but online support groups exist to help people who have scheduling conflicts connect with peers from across the country. A quick Google search yields numerous virtual options and new groups are formed all the time as ADDA readers share their unique needs and life experiences. Many of these groups are completely free however some charge a nominal cost to cover costs for advertising and to pay speakers.
