About this listen
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 listeners 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..

SD, ADHD and AuDHD. I have read a number of books on this subject and I would say that it’s the best so far. If you want to learn about the subject you won’t be disappointed.
Very good read

Accuracy is ambiguous but it is an honest reflective book.
As a dual diagnosed late in life older female myself it is always interesting to try to validate our own experiences by sharing our own narratives.

Case studies we understand how vital it is as therapists, parents, schools, employers or support teams to provide personal treatment plans. With these in place the neurodivergent mind can feel nourished and prosper.
If you miss a point you need not worry; hebian learning prevails and the author repeats key points on a number of occasions
Accessible and Informative

This book isn’t a treatment manual or self help guide. It’s not a parentified view of autism and ADHD with a disorder and cure focus (thank goodness) and while the neurobiology is discussed, it’s not an update on neuropathological research findings.
What it is:
A compassionate and whole life view, drawing on professional and personal lived experiences, into what autism and ADHD are to the people who experience them and crucially - where they intersect. Writing both as a specialist in the field and as a person with lived experience of AuDHD, the author’s motivations for writing this book are evident in the passion of his writing.
The book is clearly his argument for recognition of AuDHD not as two ‘disorders’, but as a neurodevelopmental profile distinct in its challenges and strengths.
It achieves this and more: provides a lens through which to see beyond limited pathologising language,
review reliable information, tackle stigma and contextualise experiences.
Listening on audible is a perfect way for an AuDHDer to access content like this, so I am grateful that this book was made available as an e-book too.
Comprehensive, factual and compassionate

I wish Dr Sadiq’s book ended with a call to action, or call to a research project, as I, for one, would gladly take part given this clinician's obvious deep understanding of the AuDHD condition, thus adding to the sparse empirical evidence that could perhaps contribute to a rewrite of the DSM-5.
I recommend this book to anyone wishing to know more about being an AuDHD person, whether as lived experience or in support of one.
* The speed of the good narration seemed ‘off’ to me, so I listened at .75 speed, making it more comfortable.
Empathetic and accessible
