Introduction
Purpose of this booklet
There is limited literature commenting on the experiences of those who have Autism and ADHD. AuDHDers can be stigmatised in neurotypical and neurodivergent worlds, not often showing clear traits of either autism or ADHD. This can leave AuDHDers feeling invalidated, despite having a diagnosis. Therefore, the purpose of this booklet is to provide an understanding of what people experience when they have a diagnosis of both Autism and ADHD (AuDHD), based on what we currently know from people’s experiences and some information that is out there. This will include considering both the strengths and the challenges. We hope this resource can help you make meaningful sense of your experiences and offer reassurance that you are not alone.
