The first comprehensive guide to the dual diagnosis of autism and ADHD, from expert JKP author
The Complete Guide to AuDHD explores the realities of living with both autism and ADHD, a dual diagnosis only formally recognised in recent years. Blending research, clinical insight, and lived experience, Sarah Hendrickx gives voice to an often-overlooked community, offering clarity, validation, and understanding for all.
Living with AuDHD can feel like being pulled into two different directions at once: craving order and calm yet chasing novelty and disruption, wanting routine yet resisting it completely.
The Complete Guide to AuDHD explores this complex, often misunderstood experience of living with both autism and ADHD. Sarah Hendrickx unpacks how these neurotypes overlap and conflict, creating a unique way of thinking, feeling, and experiencing life.
Combining the latest research with the personal insights of AuDHDers, it provides support on everything from relationships to health, employment toparenting, to provide the comprehensive guide to the AuDHD experience. Compassionate, validating and insightful, it is the perfect partner for anyone who wants to understand AuDHD.
If your brain is simultaneously craving a colour-coded spreadsheet AND setting it on fire - welcome home! FINALLY, a book which makes gorgeous sense of AuDHD's push-pull chaos. Sarah Hendrickx is the wise, warm, brilliant friend we all desperately need. Essential reading! -- Steph Jones * Author of The Autistic Survival Guide to Therapy & Neurodevelopmental Consultant *
At last, we have a comprehensive analysis and explanation of AuDHD in a single volume. The text includes poignant quotes from AuDHDers, and the guidance will be invaluable to those who have autism and ADHD and those who support them. -- Professor Tony Attwood * Autism expert and author of 'Relationship Counselling with Autistic Neurodiverse Couples' (JKP 2025) *
Sarah Hendrickx has written an important book on the relatively new term AuDHD, combining her lived experience with a thorough reading of the relevant science, and how clinical and educational services and the workplace can offer reasonable adjustments to better support people with this dual diagnosis. Her book will move us away from the old view that a person can only receive a diagnosis of autism or ADHD, but not both, to recognising the reality that many people live with both, to varying degrees. And her book celebrates their strengths, not just their challenges. -- Professor Sir Simon Baron-Cohen, Autism Research Centre, Cambridge University
The Complete Guide to AuDHD by Sarah Hendrickx' is an incredibly comprehensive and in-depth guide to the AuDHD experience. Covering a wide range of essential topics such as health, employment, and daily life in adulthood, this book is an essential read for anyone who is seeking an up-to-date, interesting, and informative guidance on the AuDHD experience. -- Sonia Ali, SEND advisor and specialist, author of The AuDHD Teen Survival Guide
