ADHD 

• When conducting assessments for either ADHD or Autism, it is essential to include routine screeners for both conditions. Surprisingly, Autism screeners are often overlooked in ADHD assessments, despite the substantial overlap of Autism and ADHD. In my assessments for ADHD, Dr. Neff always includes the AQ, RAADS, and CAT-Q to capture a comprehensive picture. She recommends incorporating routine screeners for both conditions into your practice to ensure a thorough evaluation. By doing so, you can effectively identify and address the presence of Autistic traits in individuals with ADHD.
