Home groups are definitely a great support resource. And yes, they need some type of structure and direction. But it must be conducive to the ADD mind.
And for the issue of having an ADDer have to plan it; perhaps several people can help do it. Maybe a rotating location or leader each time. Or a team of leaders to put it together. Maybe preselect a book for all to read, then discuss at the group, or have everyone list all the topics and issues they would like to bring up, then schedule them into the group plan. Perhaps even use online experts and websites to pre-plan or debrief the meetings.
Another great tool, as I stated before, would be for an ADD website, like this, to host a way to get others connected. A database of contact people and locations, (perhaps with a map) that are looking for local groups. I’ve seen this work well in other interest-related online groups. Heck, I’ll even volunteer to help with getting it started, if necessary.
