Understanding Co-Morbidity of ADHD and Autism

ADHD and autism often co-occur, with approximately 50% of individuals diagnosed with autism also receiving an ADHD diagnosis. This podcast highlights the significance of recognizing both issues together, especially considering that prior to 2013, dual diagnoses were not accepted in the DSM. The intersections and differences between these conditions can create unique challenges for individuals navigating both, as evidenced by experiences shared in the discussion. Furthermore, the lack of resources targeting individuals who deal with both conditions emphasizes the need for more awareness and support to bridge these gaps.
