ADHD Adults in Dorset

06/07/2024

Hey guys, it's been a while. Things were really busy and tough at work and like many of us, I struggled to juggle too many plates. I've been thinking of coming back with a new format for the summer, and making it a more social focussed group...I'm talking bowling trips, picnics, pottery painting sessions, that kind of thing. It would enable this game to run a bit better without me attending, especially if I can get someone in the Bournemouth area to help me run things! I had an amazing message from the BBC a few days ago, and they (hopefully) need OUR help. I'm looking for some of you lovely ladies to help me help them (and it seems you might meet Chris himself!) it is a fantastic opportunity for both the group and the voice of ADHD ladies. We need the world to know what we are all about. I'm super keen to be involved and I'm hoping that some of you guys will be, too. The producers are looking for people from all walks of life and of all ages, so I'm trying to gather a diverse group. Can anyone help? Feel free to message me through here or WhatsApp me 07496493504 and we can chat some more.

Very last minute because I'm unwell but there will be a meeting tomorrow at 7pm at Vivo in Dorchester. Hopefully lots of you are able to make it! Planning to get back into the swing of things after a wobbly few months, and will hold a fortnightly meeting.

Hello,
As part of a UX Design course, I’ve designed a prototype for an app called SenseCheck, which allows people to search for social venues (such as restaurants or pubs) in their local area and find out about the sensory conditions: principally noise level, crowd level, light level and temperature.

The idea is that it will enable neurodivergent people, or anyone that’s sensitive to their environment, to find places that meet their needs, or those of their friends and family. It could also be helpful if you’re simply looking for a quiet place to work or meet someone.

An important part of the process is testing the prototype, to make sure that it’s easy and enjoyable to use, rather than frustrating or confusing.

I’m looking for volunteers that could spare 20-30 minutes of their time this Sunday 7th May to run through some tests with me. It would involve a video call over Zoom, at a convenient time from morning to evening.

You’d be asked to complete certain actions using the prototype and then we’d discuss how easy or difficult you found it, and why. Your feedback will help me make improvements and changes.

If you’re willing to take part, drop me an email on [email protected] and we can arrange a time. My name is Oscar French, I live and work in London, and you can look me up on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oscar-french-60822541/

Thanks so much in advance :)
