Some quotes as I am able now to read the article.
“The co‑occurrence of autism and ADHD is far more common than many people realize. Estimates suggest that roughly 30–80% of Autistic people also meet criteria for ADHD, while about 20–50% of people diagnosed with ADHD also meet criteria for autism, meaning a substantial portion of both communities live in this shared space. Until the DSM‑5 was published in 2013, clinicians were not formally allowed to diagnose autism and ADHD together, despite this high co‑occurrence“

“Over time, many AuDHDers find themselves navigating burnout with tools designed for only half of their nervous system, wondering why the recommended strategies never quite touch the core of their struggle.“

️“Racialized children, especially Black and Brown children, are less likely to receive timely ADHD and autism diagnoses, more likely to be misdiagnosed, and often require more clinical encounters before anyone names what is actually happening. When ADHD is picked up first in these communities, it is reasonable to assume that the delay in recognizing autism stretches even further.“

️“When diagnostic overshadowing happens, support can miss the mark, especially when the underlying neurology and support needs remain invisible. Someone might receive behavior plans targeting “oppositional behavior” when what they actually need is sensory accommodation and help with transitions, while another person is offered only ADHD‑focused strategies — visual timers and productivity hacks — without any recognition that their Autistic need for predictability and sensory safety must be addressed for transitions to feel possible.“
