  “ I think it gives oppurtunity to identfy with a way of being that helps to give a feeling of being part of a norm rather then visibly alone and not know why, ( speaking of my own experience) ”

  “ I enjoyed meeting the other members and found it comforting to be with people with the same challenges. A bit rushed but I realize that was because of "room confusion" which I actually found funny - so typical of me, anyway. Is perpetually getting lost an ADHD symptom or is it my learning disability or is it just me?? ”

  “ I am a firm believer in group support. And I feel that anytime one can be with others in like circumstances be it having cancer, alcohol or other addiction, weight loss or living with ADD/ADHD it can be incredibly empowering and beneficial. Just knowing that you are not alone, that others face/have faced similar challenges and can offer possible solutions can only be good. It enables one to feel 'in control" in a world that often feels 'out of control". Everyone was so warm, kind and welcoming and I cannot say enough good things (believe it or not - :) ) to describe the positive experience that I came away with. ”

  “ I was skeptical at first, knowing that it was held at CAMH, I though the meeting would be too clinical or structured as opposed to a relaxed atmosphere. I really enjoyed the experience & will continue to attend & I recommend that anyone who is skeptical like I was. attend one meeting & see for yourself:) ”

• “ I believe the structure should be revisited. People aren't being enough time to talk as the structure is too tight. I would suggest being in small groups until break and then large group after break. I am so interested in everything that everyone has to say but I feel we are missing out on too much because the whip is keeping us on schedule so much that that we don't finish any conversations. I also prefer the large group because I can hear everything everyone says. The small groups are very distracting, its hard to have a conversation when the other small group is so close by and so loud. ”
