AuDHD Assessment
The AuDHD Paradox: A Closer Look
Understanding the unique internal experience of having both Autism and ADHD.
Routine vs. Novelty
The Autistic side often craves predictability and routine. The ADHD side is driven by a need for novelty and stimulation. This creates a cycle of establishing routines only to feel suffocated by them.

Why It's Often Missed
ADHD traits can "mask" Autistic traits, and vice versa. Up until recently, it was not considered possible for someone to be both Autistic and an ADHDer. This often leads to incomplete diagnoses.

The Hidden Cost
Living with this internal tug-of-war is exhausting, leading to burnout and anxiety. Standard advice for just one neurotype often doesn't work. Understanding your AuDHD profile is key.

Understanding the landscape of neurodivergence, backed by recent data.
A Hidden Population
18.7%Contrary to the idea that being neurodivergent is rare, especially among adults, the CSO Irish Health Survey 2024 reported that nearly one-fifth of adults in Ireland are either formally identified or self-identify as neurodivergent.
The Identification Gap
According to recent data, while 2% of adults are formally identified as being ADHDers, up to 9% of adults either self identify as or suspect that they are ADHD, without going through a formal diagnostic process.
Significant Overlap
Studies indicate 30% to 50% of Autistic individuals also meet criteria for ADHD.
Service Barriers
No public pathway exists for adult autism assessments, and "Shared Care" for ADHD meds is often refused.
Educational Rights
For DARE, ADHD reports must be 3 years old, unlike Autism reports which have no age limit.
