What if ADHD explains a lot about you… but not quite everything? You understand the distraction. The unfinished projects. The racing thoughts, forgotten appointments, impulsive decisions and sudden bursts of hyperfocus. But there are other things that don't seem to fit. You crave novelty — yet unexpected change can completely throw you. You can be sociable, funny and confident — yet need hours or even days to recover afterwards. You want structure desperately — then become bored with the very routines that help you function. Certain sounds, textures, lights or environments don't simply distract you. They can feel unbearable. And perhaps you've found yourself wondering: Is this really just ADHD… or could I also be autistic? ADHD or AuDHD? is a compassionate, practical self-recognition guide for adults who have ADHD — diagnosed or self-identified — and suspect there may be more to their story. Rather than relying on generic symptom checklists, this book explores the lived experience of having ADHD and autism together, including the contradictions that can make AuDHD so difficult to recognise. Inside, you'll explore:• The key differences between ADHD alone and AuDHD• Why you may simultaneously crave novelty and desperately need sameness• ADHD masking versus autistic masking• Sensory sensitivities and sensory seeking• Social exhaustion and the hidden effort behind appearing “normal”• Meltdowns, shutdowns and the AuDHD “spiky profile”• Why common ADHD productivity advice can actually make things worse• Relationships, friendships and the struggle to feel fully understood• Why anxiety, depression or other labels sometimes fail to explain the whole picture• What adult assessment can involve and what you can do next• Practical ways to accommodate your needs without waiting for a diagnosis• A self-recognition checklist bringing the key “tells” together This is not a diagnostic manual and it won't tell you whether you are autistic.©2026 Robin Merrick (P)2026 Robin Merrick Attention Deficit Disorders Mental Health Neuroscience & Neuropsychology Psychology Psychology & Mental Health
