Is it ADHD? Is it autism? Or both?!

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
