Parent to a newly diagnosed ASD & ADHD child.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a condition that includes symptoms such as being restless and having trouble concentrating.
Symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder include a short attention span, constantly fidgeting and acting without thinking.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can often be treated with medicines and talking therapies.
It's not clear what causes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, but it tends to run in families.
Autistic people may:
find it hard to communicate and interact with other people
find it hard to understand how other people think or feel
find things like bright lights or loud noises overwhelming, stressful or uncomfortable
get anxious or upset about unfamiliar situations and social events
take longer to understand information
do or think the same things over and over

Welcome to the AuDHD parenthood club! Not sure if you’ve already found groups, but what I have found helpful for us was to follow Autistic and ADHD groups and personal pages. I like following people who live with those conditions, such as Jordan James the autistic photographer (started because I like his art, but he is a great AuDHD advocate) because only following parents groups can be restrictive. No idea where you are in your journey or anything about your son except what you’ve just mentioned but happy to give more group suggestions if you haven’t got onto them yet.

Thank you so much for this, autism was diagnosed about 4 months ago, and ADHD just a few weeks ago. We're still in the early stages of the official side of things (school, assistance etc) but we've definitely known for a while.
