Show Notes
AuDHD (The dual diagnosis of ADHD + Autism) is on the rise, but how can we spot AuDHD in ourselves, or in those close to us. How can we spot it early in children and what are the risks of staying undiagnosed.
To answers these questions, and so much more, I chat to leading AuDHD expert, Dr. Samantha Hiew, Phd, who herself has been diagnosed with AuDHD, and has dedicated her career to advancing the scientific understanding around Autism and ADHD in women and girls.
