Group meeting

I've been feeling particularly isolated of late as my son has been away at university. I visited my GPs social prescriber person and they recommended this group which meets once a month near my home town.

I found out that this group is primarily for ADHD people but all ND people are welcome.

It was a little overwhelming, it seemed everyone was just talking over one and and that there was very little if any structure, so it wasn't really my thing.. 

Anyway, the point of this post is that there was someone else there who had been sent by the same GPs, she was a young lady in her mid teens who was clearly not enjoying the environment.

I was chatting to her about general stuff and I asked her what her hobbies were. At this point she just lit up and started to show me her art that she had in these little sketch books, she is amazingly talented. It was wonderful to see, she almost transformed before me. 

Does anyone else have a "special interest"? I don't, I just outgrew my dinosaur obsession many years ago.

  • Hi, I’m sorry about your group experience. I have a special interest in tech mostly. I have built websites from scratch by following a course. Also done some computer programming (building applications in visual studio). 

    I also have a deep interest in art and am working on anime at the moment. I bought some books to help me some time ago but I’m learning and feel like my art ability has grown over the years
