What is it like to experience both Autism and ADHD?
You've probably heard of Autism or ADHD by now. Often thought of as contradictory conditions, much of the discourse around both focuses on their neurological differences. But what about those diagnosed with both? Where do the two conditions intersect and overlap?
Explaining AuDHD is a straight-talking guide for those trying to understand Autism and ADHD as a combined diagnosis. Using real-life stories of people living with AuDHD, this book offers advice for those grappling with a diagnosis, and provides a framework for readers to advocate for themselves and discuss it with loved ones.
Written in accessible prose by Autism and ADHD expert Dr Khurram Sadiq, Explaining AuDHD is a vital resource for anyone questioning their own neurodiversity, undergoing assessment, or making sense of their recent diagnosis..

It wouldn't let me review the other version so bear with... I lost my reading updates too :/
BUT
First book of 2026! Woo!
This book, while interesting in a lot of places, felt very repetitive. I liked the more scientific approach, but to be honest most of the case studies were pretty useless. I’m pretty sure he used the same example in multiple places as well? Maybe it would have been best to use fake names for all the people he was talking about and not just within the case studies.
I ended up skimming in places because it was just telling me things I’d already heard 5 seconds ago in the same chapter!
