Community questions work because they invite members to share personal experiences, strategies, and insights, tapping into the collective wisdom of the group. For ADHD communities, sharing stories or challenges creates a sense of belonging and validation, which is crucial for reducing feelings of isolation. Open-ended questions encourage members to reflect and contribute, regardless of where they are in their ADHD journey. By tying questions to shared experiences or timely topics, you make it easier for members to relate and respond. This approach not only boosts engagement but also builds trust and a vibrant sense of community.

To use these templates, simply copy and paste them into your community platform's post composer. You can adapt them to fit your brand voice or current events, or use them as-is. Consider scheduling questions regularly to maintain consistent engagement. Tag relevant content or topics to increase visibility and encourage replies. Mix up post timing and format (text, image, poll) to reach different types of members.
These templates are designed for all platforms. For forums and groups, use them as standalone discussion prompts. On social media, pair with a relevant image or hashtag. In chat-based communities, post at peak activity times and consider pinning the question for visibility.
When creating Community Question posts for ADHD communities, focus on breaking down tasks into manageable steps and avoid overwhelming members with too many choices. Use concrete examples, ask about personal experiences with time blindness, task initiation, or decision paralysis, and explicitly acknowledge executive dysfunction struggles to foster engagement and understanding.
To encourage open discussion about coping mechanisms, frame Community Questions positively and with sensitivity. For example, ask 'What's a small ADHD-friendly hack that helped you remember appointments this week?' instead of highlighting perceived failures. Normalize common ADHD experiences and avoid loaded language that could induce shame or self-criticism.
Design questions that invite members to share experiences specific to different ADHD subtypes. For instance, 'If you have primarily inattentive symptoms, what’s your biggest daily challenge?' or 'How does hyperactivity show up for you as an adult?' This helps members feel seen and encourages nuanced conversations across the ADHD spectrum.
When addressing medication and treatment, use disclaimers to remind members that medical advice should come from professionals. Ask open-ended questions like, 'What strategies, aside from medication, have helped with your focus?' or 'How do you discuss treatment options with your provider?' to foster safe, informative exchanges while maintaining boundaries.
To be sensitive to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), avoid questions that might single out negative experiences or competition. Instead, use inclusive language and reassure members that all responses are valued. For example, prompt with 'Many of us struggle with...' to create a sense of shared understanding and reduce fear of judgment.
Absolutely. Use Community Questions like 'What makes it hard to participate in online groups when you’re feeling overwhelmed?' or 'Do notification reminders help or distract you?' These questions provide insight into how ADHD symptoms (like distractibility or overwhelm) impact engagement, allowing moderators to adapt strategies for accessibility and support.
