Understanding AuDHD: Autism Response Team Highlights ASD and ADHD Overlap

Autism Response Team (ART), a leading provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy in North Texas, has published a new article addressing the growing awareness of overlapping traits between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The blog post, "The ASD and ADHD Overlap," outlines the similarities and differences between the two diagnoses, the importance of accurate assessment, and steps families can take to find support for children experiencing both conditions-commonly referred to as "AuDHD."

As research continues to highlight the high rate of children exhibiting traits of both ASD and ADHD, families and caregivers are left with questions about how best to support their child's development. ART's newest post answers these questions through clinician-informed insights and practical strategies. The article cites findings that between 13% and 22% of children with ADHD may also meet the criteria for ASD, with experts suggesting actual numbers may be significantly higher. The piece explains overlapping symptoms such as emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and difficulty with sustained attention, while also clarifying where the conditions diverge.

"Every child is unique, and when ASD and ADHD occur together, it can create challenges that are difficult to navigate without the right tools," said Lisa Mousselli Resweber, Owner of Autism Response Team. "Our goal is to help families understand what's going on beneath the behaviors and provide clear, customized strategies that actually work in everyday life."

The blog offers guidance tailored to North Texas families, including information about when to pursue an evaluation, how to collaborate with pediatricians and specialists, and why personalized ABA therapy is effective in treating both ASD and ADHD. It also delves into the benefits of setting daily routines, fostering emotional regulation, and nurturing social skills-areas where children with AuDHD may need targeted support.

For many parents, receiving a neurodivergent diagnosis can be overwhelming, but Autism Response Team emphasizes that it can also bring clarity and peace of mind, allowing families to move forward with confidence. With ABA therapy offered in home, school, and community settings, ART remains committed to helping children with AuDHD access the resources and support they need to thrive.
