What is AuDHD? Understanding Autism & ADHD Together

Have you ever asked yourself, “Is it ADHD or autism?” Maybe you see traits of both and feel like no single diagnosis fully explains your experience. You're not alone.

Autism and ADHD often occur together, a combination known as AuDHD . While research has long recognised the overlap between these two conditions, the concept of AuDHD is still relatively new in clinical settings. It’s also not yet widely understood or formally recognised in diagnostic manuals.

This lack of recognition can make it harder for people with AuDHD to find answers or receive a diagnosis that captures their experience. Many are left navigating years of confusion, misdiagnosis, and feeling misunderstood.
