This course introduces learners to AuDHD, the combined experience of autism and ADHD, and explores how these interacting neurodevelopmental profiles shape cognition, behaviour, wellbeing, and support needs. The aim is to give professionals, educators, and workplaces the confidence and understanding to create environments that are genuinely inclusive and neuroaffirming.
The course blends research, lived experience, and practical strategies, and is suitable for anyone who wants to support AuDHD individuals more effectively.
