Today I have a brief solo episode for you on some emerging data about the experience of folks with both ADHD and Autism (AuDHD) on stimulant medication. This episode is meant to share a snapshot of this new data, and you can read more by referencing the resources linked below!
I’m highlighting:
Specific side effects of stimulant medications that are more common in individuals with both ADHD and Autism,
The impact of stimulant meds on our interpersonal relationships in folks with ADHD and Autism,
Unmasking, hyperfocus, sensory sensitivities and anxiety.
