Yes, there are many online communities specifically tailored to support people with inattentive ADHD. Whether you’re newly navigating an ADHD diagnosis, searching for study tips, or looking to share lived experiences, these digital spaces offer connection, validation and practical advice. 

Online communities are especially valuable for individuals who feel isolated or misunderstood. The subtler traits of inattentive ADHD , such as daydreaming, procrastination and disorganisation, can be overlooked or mislabelled. Finding others with similar experiences can reduce self-doubt and help individuals develop realistic study skills, coping techniques and daily routines.
