About this listen

What is it like to experience both Autism and ADHD?

You’ve probably heard of Autism or ADHD by now. Often thought of as contradictory conditions, much of the discourse around both focuses on their neurological differences. But what about those diagnosed with both? Where do the two conditions intersect and overlap?

Explaining AuDHD is a straight-talking guide for those trying to understand Autism and ADHD as a combined diagnosis. Using real-life stories of people living with AuDHD, this book offers advice for those grappling with a diagnosis, and provides a framework for listeners to advocate for themselves and discuss it with loved ones.

Written in accessible prose by Autism and ADHD expert Dr Khurram Sadiq, Explaining AuDHD is a vital resource for anyone questioning their own neurodiversity, undergoing assessment, or making sense of their recent diagnosis..

The author gives a very clear and articulate explanation of A
SD, ADHD and AuDHD. I have read a number of books on this subject and I would say that it’s the best so far. If you want to learn about the subject you won’t be disappointed.

Very good read

This thoughtful book is not written as an academic text but is an individual narrative expounding an insightful thesis incorporating a lived experience. While there are elements of repetition (perhaps an edited collection of papers?), any such features only serve to underline essential features, and given the subject matter, I’m grateful for that.
I wish Dr Sadiq’s book ended with a call to action, or call to a research project, as I, for one, would gladly take part given this clinician's obvious deep understanding of the AuDHD condition, thus adding to the sparse empirical evidence that could perhaps contribute to a rewrite of the DSM-5.
I recommend this book to anyone wishing to know more about being an AuDHD person, whether as lived experience or in support of one.
* The speed of the good narration seemed ‘off’ to me, so I listened at .75 speed, making it more comfortable.

Empathetic and accessible

Explains very well how the 2 conditions over laps. As a late diagnosis of both. This really has helped me understand that unscramble itch of why living with both has been such a struggle. The tug of war with my brain getting pulled in different directions. Then me going BANG with burn out. Lots to look at with my mental health doc for next appointment.

Excellent insight to AuDHD and dual diagnosis.
Accuracy is ambiguous but it is an honest reflective book.
As a dual diagnosed late in life older female myself it is always interesting to try to validate our own experiences by sharing our own narratives.

As an adult with a recent autism diagnosis that didn't fully capture my experience I found this title really helpful in understanding AuDHD and it's potential explanation of my challenges

Really helpful
