Re: Communication between ADHD people

[Cat Alberts]

Since being diagnosed last year, I have followed some ADHD-workshops with other ADHD people and it is a joy to experience, for the first time in my life to be in-sync with everyone in the room. Our national support organisation supports local meet-ups and it was such a relieve to walk in. So yes, the circulair reasoning, the jumping from subject to subject and without any trouble returning to the first one. Or with trouble remembering, but then the other person would remember. Or not and no worries about it. The energy that builds because ideas feed of each other and the train of thought can run for a while, without stops to explain in more detail to people lost along the way.

And more information to share about medication, job hunting, insurance etc.

The local meet-up is just a relatively quiet place, coffee tea and an ad on a website, to meet once a month for a few hours on a Monday evening. My local is relatively homogenous, most have only ADHD issues and no history of addiction or more serious psychiatric issues, other than depression or anxiety.

And I am really looking forward to October when a national gathering is organised. If all goes well and the weather holds, about 1400 ADHD (and family) will come together. In a ZOO!
