All the cool people have ADHD, why wouldn't we want to talk about it. Guys, we can take control of the shame by not being embarrassed by our diagnoses. Jess, thank you, thank you, thank you, for bringing us all this knowledge. You've paved the road, you've made it safer for all of us.

How many of you are reading the comments *while* watching the video?

The worst of admitting you have adhd is that they say " so now you've find this excuse for your laziness and disorganization?" It really hurts

I too cried a lot when I began doing research about ADHD. I spent my whole life mentally beating myself up about certain behaviors and went through so much anguish trying and failing to fix them. The research made me realize I had been punishing a fish for being unable to climb. I never realized the fish had fins instead of feet.

"donating to the world" I'm stealing this. "I didn't lose it, I donated it to the world!"

"She's smart, she can't have ADHD" is basically the story of my life. If I had been diagnosed as a kid it would have been life changing.

When the two people responsible for me persuing a diagnosis do a video together.

I'm a teacher and I actively talk about my ADHD to show my students that it's not supposed to be a taboo and it's just a normal part of life. Also, I want them to see that you can be successful and have a working life with a neurodivergent brain.

Rick gave me the best advice about overwhelm and procrastination: Do one thing. When i am feeling overwhelmed I hear your voice in my head "Do one thing" and its saving me. Thanks man! Great to see my two favourite brains in one ep , again. Would really like to see an ep on our responses to rejection

Diagnosed in my 50's. I thought I was a renaissance man, bouncing around from one field to the next. Turns out I have adhd. My brain has a non-standard o/s. It's not always clear whether I'm dealing with a feature or a bug.

"I started seeing myself in a different light, because now I was seeing I wasn't someone that for some reason was just terrible at life." Dear God.... thank you. Thank you so much.

"There is a difference between an excuse and an explanation." Thank you. When I was diagnosed I told my boyfriend at the time and whenever I forgot things, lost things, got distracted he took it personally and told me that it was because I didn't care not that I had ADHD. I got so upset every time my ADHD caused me to forget things (example: he said a month or so in the past that he wanted to go biking and was hurt I forgot to bring my bike home after my visit home from the weekend). I felt terrible and convinced myself after he kept telling me over and over that "if I loved him I would do better" that I was just a bad person and after failing to fix my mistakes permanently I knew I was a bad person. I never brought up my adhd as an explanation to him because he saw it as an excuse. We're not together now because he never understood the difference between an explanation and an excuse. To this day I never tell anyone I have ADHD, even my professors when something happens that is because of my ADHD I don't tell them why because I feel such a strong sense of rejection from it and that people will always see it as an "excuse." My parents at first when I told them I thought I had ADHD and then it was confirmed by my psychiatrist even had this idea that I was looking for an excuse and that if I was diagnosed with ADHD that I would use it as an excuse to be lazy. Fortunately they see how much treating my ADHD has improved my life now and don't feel that way anymore, but there's a lot of stigma out there. I feel like if I tell people I have ADHD they'll expect me to be this super-hyper person and not understand what it really is (I have inattention and hyperactivity). I have friends that buy ADHD meds illegally to help studying too. I feel like ADHD isn't really seen in the media or society in general as something that can severely hurt your quality of life and even cause depression and anxiety (I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety before ADHD) and instead it's just like "oh yeah some people are super hyper so they take meds to calm down" when it's so much worse and more complicated than that. I hope someday I feel more comfortable talking about my ADHD openly to people and stop beating myself up every time my ADHD symptoms mean I mess up. Your videos have helped me accept this part of myself (:

I started an office job for the first time this September. It turns out it’s PERFECT for me for being on time and working productively. I leave my work at work, so it’s not in my head at home. I aim to be at work at 8 am. But if I’m there at 8:15, 8:30 8:45 or 9, it’s still fine. I just stay longer. But my motivation to aim for 8 am doesn’t go away, because if I do finally manage to do it, I can go home earlier which I want. And I will always have something to do if I’m earlier. For most things I hate being early because I have nothing to do, I just wait. So now at work my motivation to be early is not going away. I love it ^^

Yes the epic crossover continues!!!

*_Thank you!_* For flying to Canada for us :D

I had no idea when I was younger, but now thinking back my earliest sign was failing classes from not paying attention. At first when I looked back at it I thought I was just a lazy kid who didn't want to work, but going back to school as an adult I realize its almost impossible to force yourself to pay attention to something. I was even say to myself in my brain "alright I'm gonna listen and take notes" like I'm trying to use my brain manually but a few minutes later my brain is just gone again, I'm either day dreaming, picking my fingers, shaking my leg and scribbling on paper, etc.

I hear ya about the messy car!!! The panic attack when someone needs a lift...I just need to do something first...rush off to car and throw things where they can’t be seen 😂

I think about my medication like my glasses too. In fact, when I get to work and start struggling, I check to see which of those two things i've forgotten. They have a similar impact on my productivity.

Great video!! My family don't believe it's a real thing. I can't tell them anything about this. I needed help as a kid, but never got taken seriously. I'm 28 now. It has taken 3 years for my diagnosis and I've done it alone. It's so, so hard. Your channel helps a lot. I wish everyone was as open as you. Thanks, Jess and Rick 🕊️🕊️🕊️

I’m not ashamed of admitting I have adhd but I hate saying it because then people wanna pay me for my meds. Like no I literally need it to function 🙄

I would love to see a video about rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) effects ADHD.

Oh wow!! Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria is mind blowing.... This makes so much sense now.

I have a post-it taped to my front door that says do you have: Keys, phone, chargers and wallet? If not go back and try again! I need to update it with shoes and blood glucose meter! I don’t like to explain to neighbors that I’m locked out without shoes again. Amazing where I get locked out of without shoes.

10:06 If you can't see a specialist, help your doctor by taking a printout of an online screening test result. I've always found it helps. Write down as many of your symptoms as you can.

2 take aways for me. First that you, Jessica, went from an uninformed stand-up comedian to a well-informed sit-down one. I love that you keep your sense of humor even with all of the seriousness with which you face the challenges of ADHD. ...and second, Jessica, your concise explanation about first doing a brain dump before trying to organize the muddled thoughts rattling around inside. I have sometimes been asked to proof-read and edit someone else's work and find that process to be much easier than creating my own work. So, if I apply the brain dump concept, I will treat my own work as nothing more than jumbled up thoughts in need of a brain dump that I can get outside of my head and then employ my better developed editing skills to create meaning out of the chaos. Also, thanks for the metaphorical arrow pointing to Rick's insights on the topic.

Did you ever have suicidal thoughts because you. Felt alone and were a waste of space that is how I use to feel now I’m medicated so I’m better now

You need to write a book about ADHD in general, detailing the knowledge you've discovered about your brain.

I got my official brain diagnosis about a month ago at age 38 and started meds last week. I feel like a fog has lifted. Thank you so much. I am also now a Super Brain on Patreon. I never would have known without this channel. I wish I could give you a big hug. Thanks so much!

i was 20 when i first read how adhd affected me and man how i cried. i think it was happy crying tho, like finally finding out what's actually going on in you're life.

The scariest thing for me was realizing that I was actually putting playing with my kids off or starting projects with them off.... I felt awful and guilty. I also was very angry and had rage because I kept being over-stimulated by my kids and by my life stressors.. my adhd makes everything so much harder when I'm stressed. Getting on my meds saved my relationship with my kids in very small ways but I can tell they are happier.

Sometimes rather than saying "sorry" you can say, "Thank You." Thank you for waiting for me. Or Thank You for your patience. Thank you for working with me on that.

Rick Green is a national treasure. You don't even know the celebrity you just met.

I’m so thankful that you had no shame in taking about your ADHD and making this channel! You’ve been an incredible help to me and so many others. Similar to you, I’ve never been ashamed to acknowledge that I have ADHD, though I do still struggle with the shame of letting myself and others down as a result of my symptoms manifesting. As you know, it’s a work in progress. I just want to thank you for everything you’ve done. Not only have you helped me learn more about myself and shown me that I’m not alone, you’ve been the biggest inspiration for me to start my own KZfaq channel and share my own struggles with ADHD, as well as provide the information I wish I had known 10 years ago. I can’t wait to see your video about rejection sensitive dysphoria!

Thank you so much. You have no idea how your videos helped me with my life . I really cried hard when i saw your video in TEDX i can relate so much . Much love ❤️ from Saudi Arabia

"Is there room among the woke, for the still waking?" Love it!💜

I love the fact that the topics are kept track of in the bottom right hand corner. It's really keeping me on track.

I'm back. See, my memory and concentration are bad. I know someone who has a son that has ADHD, and I think it's quite possble she may have it too. My point is that even people who may have it don't even understand it. She and her husband treat their grow son as if they are tough on him he will get into gear and everything will be alright, which you know it doesn't work that way. Many, many, many, people, even therapist just don't get it, but especially the average person. Their thinking is if they can't see it, like a person in a wheelchair, then it's no big deal.

Pray for me, I have to do a 6:40 minute presentation for a communication class Upper level for my final, I'm not even a comm major

I have Bipolar Disorder and taking Lithium for many years.. I was concerned for my boy if he had ADHD, we both visited the specialist, my boy is okay but I got diagnosed with medium-severe ADD.. I didn't agree with the medication.. I've learned to deal with it by myself.. I'm 37 now, and I'm a pulmonologist.. Please never give up, never doubt or judge yourself..

Its really cool for me to see these two together. It was Rick Green's channel "Totally ADD" That really helped me start to put the pieces together about me and ADD. I found out that I was diagnosed as a child way back in the 70's but I wasn't severe enough to warrant medication. They wanted a kid in grade school to start drinking coffee....So I went to the cafeteria during class and got a cup of coffee, with cream and sugar and came back to class. Nothing weird about that right??? So to this day I can't stand the taste of coffee and I can only remember having the one cup that day. I didn't fully understand everything that was happening and my parents didn't keep up with the latest info or treatments. So I recognized RIck from the Red Green show I used to watch on PBS after Dr. Who. It was the second time I came across his channel (the first was a few years prior but didn't lead to me doing anything) that more of the pieces came together and more of my life was falling apart. So I went to see a doctor, which led to getting my meds which have been the life saver. I then came across Jessica's channel which helped with all kinds of other stuff in my life. Jessica's videos were also free to watch on youtube which also helped. So I was excited to see Rick and Jessica appear in the same vid answering questions about ADHD. So thanks guys for doing what you do.

"Is there room among the woke, for the still waking." Beautiful statement.

I'm 30, after years and years of trying, getting in my own way, making excuses and running into therapists and psychiatrists who just didn't believe me, i FINALLY got a prescription for my very first ADHD Med. Its sitting on my kitchen counter and now I'm terrified to start. I'm currently fighting a cold so I'm going to wait until I'm over this to start my new med but I've been what if-ing this to death since i got it from the pharmacy yesterday. Ugh, why am i like this?? Lol

Hi Jess! Flying to Canada is some real dedication! 💪🏻

Man I am SO glad I found out all the accurate information when I was still a junior in high school. I'm doing concurrent enrollment college classes, and they are crazy hard to focus on/time manage with. I'm actually watching this video because I was having a lot of trouble with writing a paper, and I thought a little break could help. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that I love having all the resources I do, because if I get started on improving my life now then in a few years it will be great! Or at least I'll be able to find coping strategies for problems easier. Thanks for all you guys do.

"It's an explanation, not an excuse" is a mantra in our house - first for Jr., now for me as well. It means that there's a reason why we struggle or even fail, but we can't just lean back and say "I'm not even going to try, because I have ADHD" - it means "Be patient, I'm working on it, and I may need some support but I'll put in the effort too".

The thought of hiding the fact that I had ADHD once I was finally diagnosed never really occurred to me. Unfortunately, I understand now why people do it on a professional level now though. I lose things like it's my job and I forget sometimes the most important basic things! 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤣 I kind of like how I keep my own life interesting and exciting...lol

Thank you Jessica ❤️ Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria? Is this is where "people pleaser" comes from? I stopped being one but, of course, at a great cost. I'm down to 1 friend. Still rolling 💪 Didn't even there was a name for it. I thought it was just a personality trait.

I wish I could get access to a specialist in ADHD. I brought all the self-reporting stuff, as well as the actual page from the DSM, and I was completely dismissed by the two psychiatrists. “Well, you’re an adult woman, so, you can’t really have ADHD.” 🙄

The getting out the door on time bit, oof man.. i cant have a lot of time, i have to have just shy of imma be late time, because then i get mooving, and i dont sit down for what was supposed to be 10 minutes but ended up being 15-20-25 due to time blindnes and not wanting to use an alarm cause i often dont check well enough and i set them on for the wrong time and i also set my clocks, like microwave and oven a little a head, but i mix it up semi regularly (power outs, needed the plug, etc etc) so i dont remember if its 6-9-13 or 5 minutes a head and i try not to use my phone clock and i just follow those clocks as well i can

I love the term ‘donating to the world’. Saying i have donated alot of scarfs feels so much better. Maybe i have actually helped people who need scarfs😂

Please enable subtitles if you are able to

Thank you jess and rick, i am from India where a lot of people are still in denial about it and your videos help me a lot with my struggles

It has only been a month in and I entirely regret ever going into nursing school. As a 20 y/o LPN student with ADHD w/medication, that has zero accommodations despite presenting them to the school, it is absolutely terrible. I can do research from all over the map and take online classes from Stanford and Harvard online. Yet, when you are being graded on a school structure not made for your brain, it crumbles you in every way humanly possible. I averaged 99% in precalc 11 and the year before 60% cause I was not on meds and could not retain focus, the following year I had accommodation w/meds. It's not easy when those around you in an academic environment, especially that of a profession you once were so joyous to go into, belittle you and tell you "not to label yourself as ADHD" when requesting accommodation services (which cost $2000 CAD). We cannot record lectures or any form of audio in the classes, we cannot have powerpoints in advance, and there is zero extra time on quizzes, tests, exams or homework. If we do not pass a certain section we get kicked out of the program with only 1 rewrite throughout. As an example, Pharmacology alone requires 90% average and the program is condensed compared to University and College ranks. When you ask a fish to climb a tree when compared to a monkey, it will always believe it is a failure despite not having the appendages to climb the tree. Your instructors tell you that no one in the course will become researchers or doctors and that every single one of them hated being an LPN while teaching the LPN course to us. My plan is to continue my education through Oxford online, Harvard extension online, Stanford online, Coursera, and become a psychologist specializing in ADHD. Canada needs change, and it is heartbreaking knowing that there are kids such as myself, younger than myself, who are consistently shattered over a misunderstanding and unconscious scrutiny from academic figures. We were not born for a system made for brains that function differently than our own.

“Start small and start badly” might have to be my new life motto.

I didn't realize Rick was a fellow Canuck! The Adult ADHD video on his channel has helped both explain my diagnosis to my family and helped my sister and mum figure out that they're dealing with ADHD as well!

What a pair of ADHD ambassadors... these guys have done so much for our cause and effected our ability to not feel so alone. Not feeling like we’re broken and not feeling we are failing at normal... to quote Russ (club ADHD) “we are the new normal”🔥

I appreciated Jessica's honesty about the stand up comedy. There is another comedian who is quite a star now who I saw before they became mega and they've not acknowledged it yet. Thank you. Great colab. :)

i bailed on college twice, but finished 3 tech schools because i actually enjoyed the subjects. and i dont have a job doing anything i ever went to school for LOL

All ADHDers (me included) should have their Vitamin D2/D3 levels checked with a specific blood test just for D. Low D and/or B6 can effect your GABA which can add to stress/anxiety. Stress and anxiety can lower your D levels ...that's how stress and/or depression symptoms can start to spin out of control. I'm not a doctor but I'd like to play one on TV.

Okay, you guys have me crying while I'm walking the dog. Rick talking about his and his son's problems at school sound so familiar, from gifted program (where I was not so lucky), to bombing out at so many schools and socially.

"start small or do it badly" = brilliant! I wrote that on a sticky note just now for my work desk. Starting is the hardest part! Thank you for being role-models!

Thank you, both! I just got diagnosed a couple of months ago (at 43) and I’m so thankful for both of your channels and all of the information you have shared! I’ve learned so much already! And I love the humor! :)

My earlier symptom was my constant fidgeting and getting distracted and bored easily.

Another great video Jess. I love hearing about other people's journeys. Hope there are more videos like this to come! 😁

I love these videos. I send them to family and friends all the time!

I absolutely love watching you two! I watch both of your channels! Future ones to come! Welcome to Canada Jess! Really enjoyed the brain dump ideas.

What an incredible video. Thanks so so much for making this.

Thank you so much for these videos. I have just recently been diagnosed with adhd and your videos have been so helpful in understanding and having fun with it all.

Much love to both of you 🌌💖🌌 I really appreciate your openness ✨

I want to thank you both for you channels. I've struggled with a lot things in life but never knew why. I was diagnosed about a year a ago when my son was flagged, I saw a lot of things they were looking for in myself so asked my doctor to refer me, so he did without any issue or 2nd guessing me (I have a great doctor). When I was told I had ADHD I didn't really know what to do with that information and didn't get any support from the specialist about strategies or exploring to see if I had other symptoms I didn't know were ADHD. I was given meds based on the initial reason I thought I had ADHD (poor focus, poor concentration, poor memory, poor organisation) and yes it helped those aspects. I then struggled more with other symptoms with a false sense of "cured". It's through your channels I've learned about ADHD, what symptoms I have & help with managing them. Because of you both so many people are in a better place and better equipment to manage their symptoms.

Thank you for answering question 10! And thanks to the person who asked! I don’t have insurance and getting to mental health clinics is challenging for me. A family member suggested I research ADHD and I cried because it described so many things I’ve been dealing with for as long as I can remember. I found this channel and it’s been so helpful for me. When I can get on track, it’s been some of the best and most productive I’ve ever been. And I’m getting better at recognizing my patterns that throw me off balance. I want to get a formal diagnosis to have the ability to explore medication as an aide. But, I’m learning how to take care of my brain in a different way, formal diagnosis or not.

Thank you Jess and Rick! I remember watching Rick’s television show 17 years ago when I was still trying to fake it “to be good enough, normal”. There was nothing in my world that even remotely spoke to ADHD as being valid or real or something that was wrong with me. Or, more succinctly - what was right with me. And just when I first was formally tested and diagnosed, Jess - I found your channel. To have you two together today as I’ve come through a three-year battle of serious comorbidities produced by generic meds and a non-responsive general practitioner’s office staff - I’m just so grateful for the both of you. So thank you again, I will continually tune in - as I remember to! I’m going to list it as a tool to regularly I can refer to on a Master List. There are times (weeks, months) when I don’t even remember why I am suffering is neglected ADHD and that I can stop the spinning at any time. Love to you both! 😘

Thank you for posting this, I just got diagnosed, and finding you through ted talk was a blessing. Thank you both so so much.

I'm very certain that I had ADHD, I've realised it for over a year now. But I haven't got a diagnosis yet. I feel so frustrated with battling the thoughts telling me that I'm only lazy, or making it up. I don't have an outlet or a specialist to talk about it right now. I'm so grateful to you for reminding me that I can still start to take control of my life without a diagnosis. This is huge. Big Hearts.

You are both wonderful people! Thanks so much for sharing, your great humor and information! My family loves your videos!

yah Jessica!! my earliest symptoms were losing things - coats, shoes, food in the refrigerator because I couldn't see it.. without any diagnosis or understanding of why I was this way my mom was a huge advocate! She taught me good compulsive habits on how to set up my room, buying things that I loved to look at, touch, whatever to hold things that I would regularly lose- keys, planners, my phone.. placing notes on non-transparent cabinets to remind me where things were.

Start small and do it badly. Genius! I'm off to make a badly done small start.

I'm happy to see you guys doing a video together. Unity is strength. Ever since I was diagnosed add and aspergers certain people realize that I'm not doing it on purpose to forget or to not understand certain things and it feels like life is less of a burden in these situations. Getting help to understand myself and finding solutions to my struggles is very helpful. There is still a lot to learn yet what I have learned has reduced my anxiety levels in certain situations.

This was so enjoyable and informative!! Love getting a redo!

Love you thank you. For yet another great video. Always THANK YOU for information.

i loved this!! rick green's website is the first thing that made me want to look into even seeing if i had add. years later after being diagnosed and watching jessica's videos religiously, it's so awesome to see these two getting together! def goes to show we have a supportive community

I’m a tad late but I’m so happy I got to listen to this. I was in my 50s when someone finally suggested I had ADHD and pieces started to fall in place for me. Continuing to listen to these kinds of videos is helpful - understatement- vital to my sense of self.

Thank you Jessica love your channel. Thank you to Rick. Love the humor you guys share.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Very good video! I had to do a brain dump before being able to write term papers in college. I'm totally unorganized! I just can't get control of life. My short term memory is bad and I'm anxious which really robs my memory. Long term memory for big events is good though. I agree with everything you both said except the excuse thing. If you're late to work, make a bad choice, are aren't able to do something, it's not your fault, and it's not an excuse, it's a reason! And the reason is ADHD! This is a type of disability, I personally wouldn't minimize it. It's a big deal and it's a big part of who you are.

Thank you, you two for this video! :) so much fun! Adhd is like a rainbow, you dont always see it, but it is there and beautiful 💙

I love this channel! Dr. Rick Green is a riot !

Thank you so much for this channel, you have changed my life, I used to struggle doing school even or even learning coding which I’m really extremely interested in, but with your strategies I’m able to do what I’m interested in.

I've found it hard to get a diagnosis. My GP would rather a psychiatrist make the diagnosis. They're expensivd. So in the absence of a prescription for meds, I've been trying the amino acid Tyrosine. Our brains use Tyrosine (amongst other things) to make dopamine and as I understand it ADHD is a dopamine deficit issue as well as a 'wiring' problem. The Tyrosine makes a difference, especially when I haven't slept. Jessica, your channel has given me so much insight into my plight in life. Thank you.

You are a hero Jessica. Thank you so much for continuing the channel. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. I know that you will find your final, comfortable and happy truth xoxo, and thank you for helping me along the way towards finding mine. xo

Thanks for bullet journals, this one tip has changed (some) of my life! I am now on 1 year and 6 months of bujoing, and it’s the only organisational thing I’ve ever kept up with, it goes with me everywhere, it holds my whole life and mind, and therapeutic stuff, and a dream journal, it’s become everything to me, and it’s all thanks to your video! Thanks!

I hope you had a good trip to Canada 🇨🇦

Yaaay. When I got back from dance and opened my phone, I was so happy to see a video from this channel!!😌☺️🥳

Pure Gold & Completely Safe is how I feel watching this, Jessica. The frustration of being ADHD has taken a toll on my emotions and sometimes my self esteem. Videos like this reassure me and my whole friggin' soul that I'm actually quite an amazing and interesting person. Not better than others but different and exciting. Thank you for giving me strength Jessica. Sending a Bro Hug from Niagara Falls Canada Dan-0

Love you two ~ thanks so much for what you give out ❤🌸⛤

When I was on LSD, my brain started firing synapses it never fired and I had executive function and focus. I was able to socialize and process my thoughts and feelings like a high speed computer. And then at the end of the day, I realized how much I loved science even though I thought I hated it because I was always terrible at it.. so I’m going to tell whoever is reading this, you are not your diagnosis. You have so much potential for everything you want to be and I know it’s really hard having ADHD, but we have each other and we will keep finding ways.

I am literally in tears of joy for finding this channel and be able to find answers on how to help my 14 year old son .... I can’t thank you enough ❤️❤️❤️❤️ God bless you!!!

I love your videos so much. These are so helpful to my friends and me. 😊😊😊

I've watch like 10 of the videos you put out and am shocked to realize that is exactly how my ADHD effects my life from day to day. Yesterday your videos came up right as I was going threw it 3 times in a row. I was diagnosed as a child and I Refused any medication for it but, more I struggle, the more I am considering different treatment options like medications and or anything. But, thanks for a twisted topic! As it always Twists my heart and soul!

I love both of you. I have adhd and I grew up with it... 1980's to today. It's tricky. It's a constant thing... but it gets worse with stress or depression. I will Never say that it's something that could be confused for depression - they are VERY different animals. Personally, also, I don't like doctors that dismiss adhd as depression or anxiety. I was put on SSRI's which are, find out later, the Worst - THE Worst - Thing you could take if you are AT ALL affected by ADHD. Made me a zombie for two and a half years. Also, Jessica, it helps to know you dont always use everything in your toolbox. I keep forgetting anything of a toolbox exists.

Both of these channels have been helpful to me. I haven't had a whole lot of support in learning about my neurological differences and haven't had anyone to talk to. Little by little I have been developing strategies thanks to these videos and my own observation and research. I have also found a tribe of people who "get it." Recently, I have been lucky enough to find a support group of ADHD'ers near me. That has been helpful too.
