A few of our frequently asked questions about this course
This course offers a practical, neuro-affirmative understanding of co-occurring autism and ADHD (AuDHD), grounded in lived experience, research, and real-world practice. You’ll learn why AuDHD is often missed, how it presents across the lifespan, and how to apply this insight confidently within your role.Designed for practitioners, the training provides evidence-informed tools, screening insights, and adjustment strategies you can use immediately.
You’ll develop a clear, practical understanding of AuDHD (co-occurring autism and ADHD), including how commonly it occurs, why it’s often missed, and where diagnostic disparities arise. The course explores how AuDHD presents across the lifespan, including masking, camouflaging, and internalised profiles.
You’ll learn to apply NICE autism and ADHD guidance within integrated assessment pathways, implement effective behavioural, environmental, and executive-function supports, and understand the role of medication planning in AuDHD presentations. The training also addresses burnout, trauma, sensory overload, and emotional dysregulation, enabling you to create person-centred, strengths-based support plans that translate directly into practice.

Course was so informative
Truly grateful for this course. It has been extremely beneficial and informative. I had concerns that it would be treated like a check box exercise but The trainer demonstrated so much time, care and passion. I am currently working within a prison setting, where I will be conducting my DIVA-5 assessments but I will certainly be looking for a full time role in ADHD assessing.
Excellent training. The trainer very knowledgeable and lead the course well
The trainer’s course was highly informative and gave me a strong baseline understanding of how to assess patients with ADHD. He clarified misconceptions I had, particularly that ADHD is not just about hyperactivity but also involves inattention. I especially appreciated how he guided us through each section of the DIVA-5 criteria, making it easy to understand. Overall, it was an excellent session that I would highly recommend to others.
