What are the best parts of spending time with someone who is autistic and has ADHD (AuDHD)? A lot of videos will focus on the challenges of autism, but there are so many positives to knowing autistic individuals well. This video will show some of the best parts of AuDHD, based on my experiences with Chris, who was late diagnosed as an autistic, at the age of 41, after being previously diagnosed with ADHD.

❗️ This list (and honestly, any list) can't possibly cover all of the awesomeness of autism - what do you think should be added? Drop your thoughts in the comments! We'd love to hear the positive side of AuDHD from your perspective too.

*NOTE: This video is NOT intended for diagnostic purposes. I'm just sharing my observations of someone AuDHD (Chris), with the hopes of helping non-autistics better understand how the behaviors of someone autistic may connect to neurological differences. For more on the inner workings of the autistic brain, check out some of Chris's videos!

Whether you have an autistic friend, family member, or loved one, work with people on the autism spectrum, are autistic and struggle to explain how you feel to other people, or are simply interested in learning more, this video has something for you. I'm here to provide the unique perspective of someone who works with some autistic students in education and is very close to an autistic individual - Chris! Our goal is to help people better understand autism and ADHD to live and work better together in a neurodiverse world.
