An AuDHD assessment allows you to get a precise diagnosis of the co-occurrence of autism and ADHD, ensuring that you receive properly tailored support that will genuinely help your everyday life. By identifying specific challenges and strengths related having both ADHD and autism, a psychiatrist can work with you to develop a properly comprehensive and supportive treatment plan. This prevents you from receiving incorrectly targeted aid (that may be aimed at one condition or the other, rather than the complex way they interact when you ahve both) and ensures you can receive suitably targeted interventions, such as behavioural therapy and medication management, that will genuinely improve your quality of life. Thorough and accurate diagnosis through an AuDHD assessment also helps in securing appropriate workplace resources and wider support systems to help you be happier in every aspect of your life.

What is AuDHD?

AuDHD stands for the co-occurrence of autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), meaning you have both conditions at the same time. The use of AuDHD helps to highlight the complex interplay between these two neurodevelopmental conditions. It is seeing a rise in use because it emphasises that some people can simultaneously exhibit symptoms associated with both autism, such as difficulties in social interactions, and ADHD, including challenges in maintaining focus and impulsivity. The recognition of AuDHD amongst psychiatric professionals has shown the need for need for fully tailored diagnostic, treatment, and support strategies that address the unique manifestations and needs of people who have both conditions.

What happens in an AuDHD assessment?

In an AuDHD assessment, a clinician - typically a specialist psychiatrist - will conduct comprehensive evaluations to identify the presence of both autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in your mental state. This will involve gathering and discussing a detailed personal history, including clinical observations made during their interactions with you, and potentially some standardised tests that help to identify symptoms and behaviours associated with both conditions. Your assessing psychiatrist will also look to asses your communication skills, ability to navigate social interaction, attention span, levels of impulsivity, and any repetitive behaviours or fixed interests you may have. They might also want to discuss your family history, and talk how you fare in your workplace or while socialising, to better understand how you function in different settings.

What does AuDHD look like?

Although everyone’s experience can be different, in general AuDHD can be seen as a blend of symptoms from both autism and ADHD. You might experience difficulty with social interactions and communication, alongside challenges in maintaining focus, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. You could also have noticeably repetitive behaviours, or exhibit an intense focus on specific interests. Each unique combination of autism and ADHD symptoms requires a nuanced approach to assessment, recognisng the distinct ways in which the conditions intersect and affect you, so that interventions and support options can be fully tailored to your personal needs.

What is the treatment for AuDHD?

Treatment options for AuDHD are tailored to address the unique blend of symptoms that you are personally experiencing in your own “mix” of autism and ADHD. Common strategies can include behavioural therapy, which helps improve social skills and manage any behavioural challenges, often alongside some form of medication to manage ADHD symptoms like inattention and hyperactivity. Workplace support, structured routines, and interventions or training exercises aimed at enhancing communication skills are also common, and if you have sensory issues you might also be recommended occupational therapy to help address this. The focus overall will be on a holistic approach that supports your overall wellbeing and happiness alongside your unique neurodevelopmental needs.
