In this episode of The Aspie World Podcast, Dan explores the powerful connection between autism and ADHD in girls — how these two conditions overlap, why they’re often missed, and what that means for diagnosis and daily life.

He explains how girls with both autism and ADHD (often called AuDHD) experience unique challenges with focus, emotional regulation, and masking. Dan also shares how understanding this connection leads to better support, self-awareness, and confidence.
