Allow me to introduce myself :)

✨ Greetings my fellow 7 cuppers! ✨

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself as one of the new moderators of this forum. My discovery of ADHD is a fairly recent one, although I have had it my entire life. A couple of years ago I decided to pick up a copy of ‘Scattered Minds’ by Gabor Mate after having suspicions of some of the symptoms my younger daughter was exhibiting in her learning.

Reading the information contained in that book was cathartic like someone was telling me the story of my life. I cried a lot and through that process I found a new clarity and understanding about myself and my daughter. Although neither of us have been officially diagnosed, we may opt for this in the future. Attaining a diagnoses can be costly and gratefully there are many resources to learn from online.

It is my aim to be an effective moderator here, encouraging discussion, sharing and support as we navigate, and even celebrate our neurodiversity together.

Call me Oasis, I am delighted to be here and I look forward to connecting with all of you 😊
