AuDHD or Not ?

What AuDHD Actually Is

Until 2013, the DSM actually prohibited diagnosing both autism and ADHD in the same person. That rule is gone, but the confusion remains. In this episode, we explain what AuDHD is from a clinical perspective: the prevalence data (38 to 70% of autistic individuals also have ADHD), how the two conditions create opposing internal forces, and why AuDHD is a clinical reality even though it is not a separate diagnosis in the DSM. We also discuss the difference between community identity language and clinical profile, and why both matter. This episode is based on Chapter 2 of AuDHD or Not? by Theo Lloyds Gaius, available now on Amazon.com. Search "AuDHD or Not by Theo Lloyds Gaius." Listen to the full audiobook on Spotify.

The AuDHD Algorithm

Over two billion TikTok views. Endless "signs you might be AuDHD" videos. And an algorithm that cannot tell the difference between a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition and a stress response to a difficult year. In this episode, we break down how social media content pipelines move users from ADHD content to autism content to AuDHD content, why the contradiction factor makes AuDHD videos so engaging, and what the research on "platformed diagnosis" reveals about how algorithms shape self-discovery. We follow two people who watched the same video, felt the same recognition, and received completely different clinical explanations.
