Autism vs. ADHD: What’s the Difference?
Is it ADHD? Is it autism? Or both?!
So many parents, educators, and even professionals struggle to tell them apart.
And no wonder - there’s a LOT of overlap! But understanding the key differences is essential for supporting our neurodivergent kids in the best way possible.
On this episode, we're diving into:
✔️ The core traits of ADHD & autism (and why they get confused)
✔️ Where they overlap—executive functioning, sensory processing, social differences, and more
✔️ The biggest mistakes people make when supporting ADHDers & autistics (and how to avoid them!)
✔️ What happens when someone has both (AuDHD) and how to individualize support
