Anyone in the Twin Tiers?

[STEM_Dad]

I'm considering starting up a CHADD affiliate support group in the Twin Tiers region of NY and PA.

I live in the Southern Tier of New York. The nearest CHADD affiliates to me are in Buffalo and Pittsburgh, which both seem too far away, and too disconnected socially from the Twin Tiers.

I've only lived here for about 1½ years (since Summer 2022) and only got diagnosed with ADHD 3 years ago (in Fall 2020).

I've been looking for a good support group, and am glad that I found this forum and other online groups, but I think that people in the same region can help each other find good resources locally (and potentially warn each other of bad experiences).

{FYI - I'm also looking into the possibility of starting a virtual meetup group affiliated with the CHADD groups on this site, for occasional video meetings.}

Sorry but I am not near that region. You're a trooper if you can handle living in that part of NY this time of year.

I didn't pick the locale. I moved here for my kids.It's not much worse than the area of Idaho that we're from.

Thankfully, we're nearly 100 miles from Lake Erie, so we don't get quite as much of the lake effect as people who live nearer.
