PrintADHD Support Group Etiquette
Save chatter for the right time. Some ADHD support groups schedule casual social periods along with group sharing, while others provide opportunities to mingle only before and after the official meeting.
Balance personal disclosures. Observe one or two meetings before jumping in. Sharing too much makes other members uncomfortable -- sharing too little makes you seem standoffish.
Be supportive. Aim for a three-to-one ratio -- three responses to others’ comments for every comment you make.
