Asians with ADHD is a peer-led virtual support group for those of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. The group seeks to provide a safe environment for members to share their experiences and have topical discussion on various cultural aspects of being AAPI with ADHD, while acknowledging intersectionality with the many other facets of our lives.
We recognize that Asian culture and upbringing is not a monolithic experience, and will vary from person to person. We celebrate both shared experiences and those different from our own.
We welcome anyone who identifies as Asian or Pacific Islander, from all corners of the continent, as well as from all of the Pacific Islands.
