For clinicians
AuDHD-affirming care framework
Resources for psychiatrists, psychologists, GPs, paediatricians, OTs and other clinicians working with co-occurring ADHD and Autism in adults.
AuDHD presents differently to either ADHD or Autism alone. The DSM-5 (2013) ended the previous prohibition on dual diagnosis, but assessment frameworks have been slower to adapt. This section covers what we have learned through working with our reviewer and peer-reviewed literature, written for working clinicians, not for SEO.
What this section covers
- The dual-presentation profile — paradoxes, sensory + interest, executive function
- Assessment considerations specific to adults with co-occurring presentation
- Common differential considerations (CPTSD, BPD, anxiety, depression)
- Medication interactions and stimulant considerations in autistic adults
- How to apply for inclusion in our verified clinician directory
