Attention Deficit Disorder

Step 5 – Get the support you need.

Question:

Get the support you need. Support from others is essential when you’re trying to make many life changes. You can build support among family and friends by bringing them into the process. Educate them about ADD (ADHD) as you educate yourself. You can also find support through Adult ADD (ADHD) Support Groups – which exist in many communities today. Such support groups can be located through the web sites of the two major national organizations for individuals with ADD (ADHD): Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder and the Attention Deficit Disorder Association. Finding the right support can be hard.  What have you done to find support in your family and in your community?  What’s worked?  What hasn’t? Kitten

Educating my family has helped, my SO’s family also support us as he’s got ADHD too. After my panic disorder started up I realised I needed more help from an outside source so I have a home help who acts as a coach… helps motivate us and keep us on track. — Vashti
