Support Groups

Support groups can be a valuable source of comfort for those who find out -- often for the very first time that they're not the only ones. While many of these support groups are peer-led, there are national organizations that host regional networking and educational events. ADDitude magazine, for example, offers a variety of virtual peer-support groups for its readers, including ones for adults who have been diagnosed, couples impacted by treating inattentive adhd and intellectually gifted adults and individuals seeking jobs.

Meetings are usually held at a time and location, but online support groups are also available to help those with scheduling conflicts connect with peers from all over the nation.

Many of these groups are completely free, but some charge a nominal cost to cover costs for advertising and pay speakers.
