What is AuDHD?
AuDHD describes the co‑occurrence of autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – in other words, having both conditions at the same time. The term highlights the complex interplay between these two neurodevelopmental conditions in one person. Someone with AuDHD might experience features commonly linked to autism (such as differences in social interaction, communication or sensory processing) alongside ADHD traits like inattention, impulsivity and restlessness. Recognising AuDHD has shown how important it is to offer combined assessment, diagnosis and support, rather than treating autism and ADHD as separate, disconnected issues.
