This charity is a godsend for helping me! It has drop in sessions with a very friendly bunch of people struggling with ADHD and ADD. We all get to chat and learn about how living with our restless energy, being compulsively distracted, getting heavily into one subject and devoted inordinately to something in life over another important to do’s that don’t get attention in our life. It’s very refreshing to be able to talk about all this stuff and strategies for dealing with the condition to build awareness and make small changes in lifestyle. This charity also has group discussions with a skilled and kind facilitator that is really really beneficial for me to talk about more difficult and unflattering aspects to the condition (anger, shame) or things that can help make positive changes for a healthier lifestyle, like self-care and self-regulation for example. People like us get loads out of talking and focusing on these good topics to explore and learn about. The charity also has another group which is facilitated for the partner of someone who has ADHD or ADD or the parents of someone with that type of condition. Friends are also welcome too! If you live in Sussex and want to come along to Brighton to learn more see the ADHD Aware website! Thanks for reading
Thank you for sharing this.

I wish I had something like this near me in US
I watched this with a mate again to help explain my neurodiversity to him. I’m super chatty and struggle to stop speaking. The point about using a mind map in a meeting is interesting. I am getting better awareness and self control in the face of being driven by a motor at the groups ADHD AWARE runs. Any good tools and techniques to help me not drive others nuts is a relief to help not get reaction like anger, shame and rejection that I know only too well
Great video, I really relate
