Meeting others with ADHD | ADHD Information

Reg, I can't think of any better "group" than those people I've met on this Board! Honestly. I personally don't feel I need to meet face-to-face with a group. In fact, this may be better, for me anyway, since I can take my time responding...not worrying about the finding the words, which seems to be a LARGE problem we all have.

I really like the people I've met on this board, and many of us seem to have struck up a friendship/ camadreship (sp?)    And I personally doen't know what I would benefit from another "live" group.

I suppose there are some who would like that idea, such as yourself. This was all just my opinion, for myself. Perhaps you could give some of the reasons you think it's a good idea for you. I may see things differently. Thanks! GypsyWomyn38426.6089583333I've been curious about the "meetups," myself. While I would be interested in meeting other people with adhd, I think I'd prefer a more structured setting, like a chadd group. Hoping to get a thread going on where you meet others with adhd/adult add.
There are the chadd meetings but from what I have seen they are very organized
.
There is a small group forming in SE Michigan through the meetup groups:

If you check the link you'll get a better idea of the type of group I'm talking about.

So my question for the group is this, do you meet with others with adhd and if so where??

Its nice to know there are other people that have been through some of the same things you have!!!!   If theres nothing around you, think about starting a meetup group!!!!!!

Thanks, Reg.Couldn't agree more this is the nicest group I have ever found online!!!!!
Been online 20 years, God i'm old LOL

From reading it seems I have never really developed many of the social skills
that most people have.  I didn't really see this till I read about it, I tend to miss things like that.  Its nice to be around others that understand if I say something out of place.  Odds are  there going to do the same thing.  Being online is great, but you don't get the voice and expressions you do when you talk to someone in person.

Another thing is ADD people are usally fun to be around!!

The only Chadd group we have by us is 70 miles away and  mostly set up  for  parents  of  adhd  children.

Guess you could ask why do people come together in any group,  something in common?
 
CT needs some groups!!!Actually, when I first posted in this thread, I didn't even know about "meet ups." A friend of mine went to one in Florida (all the way from Seattle!) last year and just told me about it tonight. It's wasn't AD(H)D, however.   I agree it could be interesting (since we are fun people ), but unfortunately, this one little ADHEer can't afford to put gas in her Chevy Luv, let alone find a way to a meet up.

Interestingly enough, Reg, I think I really DO hear the voices on this Board, and being as visual as I am (and seemingly many others here), I think I really DO see their expressions, too. Cool, huh?

If anyone ever hears of a meet up in the NW, do let me know.
