Help An Adult With ADHD Their Story

Your Contributions Create Community

ADDA connects adults with ADHD from all walks of life. Our members share similar life experiences though they thought they were alone.

As the largest organization dedicated to supporting adults with ADHD, we aim to do even more. We need to widen our scope. We must improve ADHD education, expand our international outreach, and build stronger community partnerships.

Your generosity lets us hire staff and develop more programs for our members.

Donate now. Or set up an easy monthly contribution. You will help us raise awareness of adult ADHD for those undiagnosed and untreated. And you’ll help us keep our community informed, equipped, and inspired. Your support starts right now with a donation to ADDA.

Your Contributions Help Existing Members

We keep ADDA’s membership price as low as we can. Adults with ADHD often live with unemployment and underemployment. Your donations help us keep our membership affordable. And it helps us support members who can’t afford even that. This frees up our members to focus on well… focusing.

Your Contribution Improves the Statistics

Adult ADHD is serious. Over 8 million adult Americans have ADHD. ADHD symptoms like impulsiveness, lack of focus, chronic disorganization means careers suffer. Relationships are strained. Families fall apart. Finances are stressed to the breaking point. This can even lead to self-destructive patterns that only make matters worse.

Being an adult with ADHD is hard, often overwhelming and frustrating. But, with the empathetic and constructive support of a community like ADDA, it doesn’t have to feel hopeless.

I Was Shamed. Now I’ve Found My People… People Who “Just Get It”

Even Though I Sometimes Feel Hopeless, I Am Not Helpless.

I Was Smart. I Was A Girl. So How Could I Have ADHD? Being a part of ADDA has helped me gain confidence in myself and allowed my good ADHD traits to shine.

With your gift to ADDA, ADDA can provide the support, skills and other crucial tools that will help others see their ADHD the way I do — and rewrite their stories to ones of equal richness and joy.

It’s turning out to be a very long journey, but I am the most confident I’ve ever been about who I am, and how I see the world and other people.

Before ADDA, I had emotionally and spiritually shriveled, subsisting on shallow and conditional love relationships and friendships.

There are millions like me out there, and all the gifts they can bring to the world are hidden underwater, just like that iceberg. ADDA can find those people. Their stories can be rewritten.

ADDA helped me go from shame to systems. That’s why I’m sharing my story, to help ADDA get the money they need to keep their own lights on, and help thousands of people like me to rewrite their own stories.

No one should have to cancel a family vacation because of ADHD. Or have something far worse happen. That’s no story any of us want to hear. We’ve heard too many.

Help Rewrite The Story Behind The Story

Every adult with ADHD has faced tough, even tragic stories. Yet, with diagnosis, treatment, and ADDA’s support, these stories can transform from heartbreaking to hope-filled.

Here are a few of the countless transformational ADDA member stories we hear every day.

Donate To ADDA

ADDA is a lifeline for so many, but we operate on a thin thread. Your donation will:

Give ADDA memberships to hundreds of people who can’t afford them

Help us innovate more and develop better online interactive workshops

Help us grow awareness of this staggeringly un-diagnosed condition

Help us truly become a global, 24/7 support system

Help us train our incredible volunteers, and give them the tools to lead

ADHD is treatable, and your support can make a significant difference. Here’s how you can help:

Become an ADDA member yourself, or
Donate a membership for just $9.99 per month, or $109.99 per year.
Double your contribution to provide life-changing membership for someone who can’t afford it.
Make your donation in one of the convenient ways shown here.

People can thrive with adult ADHD, but it’s so much easier with the right support. Help us help more people find their community and their answers.

Thank you for your generosity. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of adults with ADHD.
