What Is AuDHD? Understanding Co-Occurring ADHD and Autism

AuDHD describes the co-occurrence of ADHD and Autism in the same person. This isn't simply having two separate conditions — the traits interact in complex ways, creating a unique experience that neither diagnosis alone captures.

This resource from Neurodivergent Insights provides a clear, accessible overview of what AuDHD looks like in practice: the competing needs for routine and novelty, the compound exhaustion of masking both conditions, and the ways each set of traits can hide the other from clinicians and self-assessment tools alike.

If you're new to the concept of AuDHD, this is a strong starting point.
