AuDHD Basics

A structured introduction to having both autism and ADHD

AuDHD Basics is an introductory course for adults who want to better understand what it can mean to have both autism and ADHD.

The course focuses on the combined pattern that can emerge when both neurotypes are present in one person. It explains why this pattern can feel confusing, why it is often missed, and how it can affect daily life across attention, sensory processing, emotions, masking, executive function, relationships, work, and burnout.

This is a foundation course. It is designed to give you a clear overview of the main patterns before moving into deeper courses on personal profile, coping tools, or science and research.

🌿 What this course is about

Many people first explore AuDHD after noticing that one explanation does not seem to cover the full picture.

ADHD may explain distractibility, urgency, restlessness, or difficulty starting tasks. Autism may explain sensory sensitivity, a need for predictability, social processing differences, or difficulty with change. When both are present, the result is often not just two separate sets of traits, but a more complex pattern that can feel uneven, conflicting, or difficult to describe clearly.

This course introduces that pattern in a structured way. It looks at how autism and ADHD can coexist in one person, why they can sometimes seem to pull in different directions, and why this matters in everyday life.
