Before we explain our views, let's first look at the medical definitions of ADHD and autism.
One of the most widely used diagnostic manuals is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, commonly known as the DSM.
The DSM provides standardized diagnostic criteria for a wide range of mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar, obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma-related disorders, personality disorders, and many others.
It's important to remember that the DSM is a diagnostic manual designed for trained clinicians.
It provides a shared framework for diagnosis, but it should never replace a comprehensive clinical assessment that considers a person's individual history, strength, challenges, and lived experience.
