ADHD and autism: Do I have AuDHD?
About this episode
Dr. J explores the overlap between ADHD and autism, discussing the concept of AuDHD and its implications for diagnosis.
If you’ve been seeing AuDHD everywhere online and wondering if it might describe you, you’ve come to the right place. What does it actually mean to have both ADHD and autism? Dr. J breaks down where these two conditions overlap, where they diverge, and why so many people are recognizing themselves in this label for the first time. We cover shared traits, what AuDHD can feel like day to day, and how to know when it’s time to talk to a professional about diagnosis.
