AuDHD Quiz: Could You Have Autism and ADHD Traits?

What Is AUDHD? Understanding Autism and ADHD Together

You might have heard the term “AUDHD” popping up lately. It’s a shorthand way to describe people who live with both autism and ADHD traits. These two neurodivergences often overlap, and while they’re each unique on their own, many folks find that their experiences blur together. Think of AUDHD as a way to recognize how autism-related sensory or social traits and ADHD-related focus or impulsivity traits can combine in one person.

Why Take an AUDHD Quiz?

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit in one “box” — maybe you resonate with both autistic and ADHD traits — taking a quiz can be a helpful first step. Of course, no online quiz can diagnose you, but it can give you language to explore what you’re experiencing. It might also help you decide if a professional evaluation could be worth pursuing. Basically, think of it as a gentle nudge toward more self-understanding.

How This AUDHD Quiz Works

Here’s the deal: this quiz is designed to highlight common patterns and behaviors that show up in people with co-occurring autism and ADHD. It asks about sensory preferences, focus challenges, social differences, and emotional regulation. Remember, an online quiz can’t give you a formal diagnosis. It’s more of a conversation starter to help you reflect on whether you’d like to look into a full evaluation with a mental health professional.
