Dual Assessment
Image by Kyle Ryan
Autism + ADHD = Something Unique

This isn’t just a double diagnosis.

It’s a whole different experience.
 

When autism and ADHD overlap, the traits don’t just add up — they interact, amplify, and reshape each other in powerful ways.
 

A dual assessment helps you make sense of the full picture — the strengths, the struggles, and everything in between.
 

You're not too much.

You're just wired for more.

Dual Diagnosis: When Autism and ADHD Combine


Having both autism and ADHD isn’t just a simple equation.

It’s not 1 + 1 = 2.

It’s 1 + 1 = something entirely new.
 

You’re not "just autistic" or "just ADHD."

You’re navigating a unique, dynamic blend of traits that can amplify your creativity, your insight, and your way of moving through the world.
 

Dual diagnosis can mean:

  • Sharp pattern recognition plus a flood of new ideas

  • Deep focus plus bursts of restless energy

  • Sensory sensitivity plus social curiosity

  • A rich, complex internal world that doesn’t fit any easy box
     

But it can also bring real challenges:

  • Overlapping executive function struggles

  • Emotional intensity that's hard to regulate

  • Constant tension between wanting structure — and craving freedom
     

A true dual assessment sees the full picture — and helps you build a life that fits your brain, not the other way around.
 

You’re not too complicated.

You’re too extraordinary for a one-size-fits-all label.
