Finding local AuDHD support or events can be vital for families navigating the challenges of both autism (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These resources help individuals with AuDHD connect with others who share similar experiences, gain valuable support, and access educational events designed to foster understanding and inclusion.

Where to Find Local AuDHD Support and Events 

Local AuDHD support and events can often be found through community centres, autism and ADHD charities, and healthcare providers. 

Local Support Groups  

Many communities offer support groups specifically for individuals with AuDHD or for families who are raising children with both autism and ADHD. These groups can be an excellent source of emotional support, practical advice, and a safe space to share experiences with others facing similar challenges.  
 

Schools and Educational Institutions 

Schools often have resources for families of AuDHD children, including workshops, parent-teacher meetings, and seminars focused on both autism and ADHD. Many schools also partner with local organisations to host awareness events, support groups, or educational sessions about AuDHD. 

Local Nonprofits and Advocacy Organisations  

Nonprofit organisations focusing on autism and ADHD, such as the Autism Society or CHADD (Children and Adults with ADHD), often provide resources and hold local events. These organisations might offer family support groups, educational events, or social gatherings for AuDHD families. They can also connect you with professionals who specialise in both autism and ADHD. 

Healthcare Providers 

Pediatricians, therapists, and psychologists who specialise in autism and ADHD are often connected with local community events or can recommend resources for AuDHD families. These professionals can also guide you to other services, such as sensory-friendly events, educational workshops, and more. 

Finding local AuDHD support and attending community events can provide families with the knowledge, resources, and sense of community that are essential for managing life with both autism and ADHD.
