Autism and ADHD coexist at significantly elevated rates, and adults with both disorders face unique challenges. Symptoms of both conditions can resemble one another – one reason why clinicians typically screen for both during assessment. While research on adult autism and ADHD is scarce, clinicians largely agree on best practices in the evaluation and treatment of patients with both disorders. In this hour-long ADDitude webinar with Benjamin E. Yerys, Ph.D., learn about autism in adults, and how ADHD may complicate the picture.
