This website is for a Canadian auDHD counsellor.
https://neurodivergentcounselling.ca/resources/audhd-resources/ Canadian site! Here is an excerpt:
“While the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for Autism and ADHD are distinct, reports of lived experiences suggest that there may be more overlap than the DSM suggests. However, given that there are likely many ADHDers who are unidentified Autistics (and vice versa), it’s also possible that the overlap is less than we think!
There is a huge diversity in the way AuDHD looks (as this video on 5 signs you have Autism and ADHD describes) so it is important to understand how Autism and ADHD intersect and interact for each specific individual. Here are some common experiences of AuDHDers (which won’t necessarily resonate for all AuDHDers):
Craving routines but finding it difficult to maintain routines
Being outgoing and social but needing a lot of time to recover from socializing
Having deep interests but they are short-lived (getting bored and needing to move on)
Feeling torn between a need for pre-planning and predictability and a need for novelty
Hating when other people are late to meetings but having difficulty getting to meetings on time yourself
Not having many executive functioning challenges because of being really good at creating routines and processes
Getting excited about new projects and taking on a lot because your ADHD side loves the challenge and novelty, then crashing and becoming overwhelmed because your Autistic side needs rest and has reached capacity”
Lots of other resources on that website for auDHDers.
