You've read the autism books. You've read the ADHD books. And somehow, the advice keeps contradicting itself — because it was never written for your child.

When autism and ADHD occur together in the same child, a combination increasingly known as AUDHD, standard parenting advice breaks down fast. Autism guidance tells you to reduce demands and lower stimulation. ADHD guidance tells you to add structure, novelty, and movement. Follow one and you fight the other. Follow neither and you are left guessing — again.

The AUDHD Parenting Guide is the first practical resource written specifically for this overlap. Not two separate condition guides stacked together, but a unified framework built for the moments when both are true at once. Drawing on current neuroscience and years of special education classroom experience, Richard Bass gives you the tools to read what your neurodivergent child actually needs in any given moment and respond in a way that works.

Inside you will find:

• A clear decision framework for the moments when autism advice and ADHD advice directly contradict each other
• Age-specific strategies from toddlers through teens for sensory regulation, meltdowns, shutdowns, masking, routines, discipline, school advocacy, and social connection.
• How to tell a meltdown from a shutdown from a tantrum and exactly how to respond to each.
• Why your autistic ADHD child holds it together at school and falls apart at home and what to do about it
• How to build IEP and 504 accommodations that address co-occurring autism and ADHD, not just one diagnosis.
• The truth about masking, sensory processing differences, and the double empathy problem in plain, usable language
• Research-backed strategies for parental burnout, because a regulated parent is one of the most powerful tools your child has.
• 15 exercises and journal prompts tied to every major strategy in the book.
