Helping Your AuDHD Child Thrive at Home and School

When a child carries both an autism diagnosis and an ADHD diagnosis simultaneously, the result is a neurological profile that is more complex, more contradictory, and more frequently misunderstood than either condition alone. AuDHD children live at the intersection of two nervous systems with competing demands - one craving predictability and sameness, the other driven relentlessly toward novelty and stimulation. The daily friction that produces is real, exhausting, and often invisible to the systems designed to support them.
In Helping Your AuDHD Child Thrive at Home and School, Dr. Diana Moyer delivers a comprehensive, compassionate guide for parents navigating this terrain. Drawing on current research and deep clinical understanding, Dr. Moyer walks parents through the neuroscience behind the AuDHD profile, practical strategies for building a regulation-friendly home, effective school advocacy and IEP navigation, the social and emotional landscape of AuDHD childhood, and the art of assembling a professional support network that actually works together.
This is not a book about managing a difficult child. It is a book about understanding a remarkable one. Written with clarity, warmth, and genuine respect for the complexity of the parenting experience, this guide gives families the knowledge and confidence to stop working against their child's brain and start working with it.
