AuDHD is a term for the co-occurrence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), describing individuals who experience traits from both neurotypes, often in contradictory ways, like craving routine but getting easily bored, leading to unique challenges and strengths like intense hyperfocus and sensory sensitivities. It's common for individuals to have both conditions, and AuDHD highlights the unique experience of navigating these overlapping, sometimes opposing, traits, from intense special interests and social energy shifts to sensory overload and masking.
