AuDHD: When Autism and ADHD Co-occur

1) Planning and novelty:

Sometimes, people with AuDHD may still need time to adjust to a new environment. They may act with caution, planning way in advance and thinking of all the details. Meanwhile, the ADHD side brings a burst of enthusiasm – “A new place, let’s go explore!” – often without a plan.

Together, these traits complement each other. The ADHD drive makes the trip happen and thinks of all the fun activities to do and the autistic drive creates a well organised trip with activities and downtime scheduled, keeping anxiety in check.
