auDHD

This article from Embrace is called An Introduction to auDHD

I posted it on the group tab a few weeks ago but wanted to repost it here as it has so much info and links. Here's a few excerpts:

“If you’re new to AuDHD, this article answers frequently asked questions about the common co-occurrence of autism and ADHD. As an introductory post, we also highlight further articles and resources throughout to guide your discovery of topics related to AuDHD.”

“Most research looks at ADHD and autism separately. This means that AuDHDers are often left wondering how the findings apply to our experiences. This is particularly important given that more recent research, which does consider the AuDHD experience, finds that AuDHDers may have different support needs.”

“Autistic and ADHD traits sometimes contradict each other. How can they co-exist in AuDHD? Some autistic traits seem the complete opposite of an ADHD trait. For instance, autistics often value routine, repetition, and structure. In contrast, ADHDers usually opt for spontaneity, flexibility, and trying new experiences. These contradictions can indeed make life challenging for AuDHDers.”

I thought it was a great article and very informative. If you're interested I recommend reading the whole thing. It even includes a table of strengths and challenges for each condition. I love tables.
