The Connection Between Autism and ADHD in Girls


Listen Later

In this episode of The Aspie World Podcast, Dan explores the powerful connection between autism and ADHD in girls — how these two conditions overlap, why they’re often missed, and what that means for diagnosis and daily life.

He explains how girls with both autism and ADHD (often called AuDHD) experience unique challenges with focus, emotional regulation, and masking. Dan also shares how understanding this connection leads to better support, self-awareness, and confidence.

What you’ll learn:
• How autism and ADHD overlap in girls and women
• Why many girls go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years
• Common traits of AuDHD and how they affect focus and behavior
• Practical strategies for managing both autism and ADHD
• Dan’s insights on identity, burnout, and balance

This episode brings clarity to a misunderstood topic and gives practical tools for supporting autistic and ADHD girls in school, work, and everyday life.
