AuDHD Test: 16 Questions Across ADHD, Autism and Overlap Traits
AuDHD is the name people use for having both ADHD and autism, which overlap far more often than diagnostic practice used to assume. This AuDHD test asks 16 questions in three groups: ADHD traits such as attention and impulsivity, autism traits such as sensory sensitivity and routine, and the overlap traits both share, like masking and burnout. You get a separate score for each group, so you can see which side of the picture is stronger for you. It is a screening, not a diagnosis, and it takes five to seven minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding AuDHD (ADHD + Autism)
What is AuDHD?
AuDHD is a term used to describe the co-occurrence of ADHD and autism in the same person. Research shows that 50-70% of autistic people also meet criteria for ADHD, and vice versa. Understanding both conditions together is crucial for effective support.
Can you have both ADHD and autism?
Yes. Since 2013, the DSM-5 allows dual diagnosis of ADHD and autism. Previously, they could not be diagnosed together. Research increasingly shows these conditions frequently co-occur and interact in complex ways.
How do ADHD and autism interact?
ADHD and autism can create conflicting needs: ADHD craves novelty while autism prefers routine; ADHD is impulsive while autism is cautious. They also mask each other: ADHD social impulsivity can hide autism social difficulties, while autism focus can hide ADHD inattention.
How long does the screening take?
The Quick Screening takes about 2 minutes with 6 questions. The Full Screening takes 5-7 minutes with 16 questions covering ADHD traits, autism traits, and overlap areas.
What are overlap traits?
Overlap traits are characteristics common to both ADHD and autism, including emotional dysregulation, executive function difficulties, social masking, and burnout. These traits can make it difficult to distinguish between the two conditions without professional assessment.
Why is AuDHD often missed in diagnosis?
AuDHD is often missed because the two conditions can mask each other. ADHD hyperactivity can mask autism social withdrawal. Autism attention to detail can mask ADHD inattention. Additionally, many clinicians are still not trained to look for both conditions simultaneously.
Is this screening a diagnosis?
No, this is an educational self-screening tool. Both ADHD and autism require comprehensive professional assessment for diagnosis. This screening can help you identify patterns to discuss with a specialist.
Is there an official AuDHD test?
No single test covers both. Clinicians assess ADHD and autism separately, typically with the ASRS or DIVA for ADHD and the AQ, RAADS-R or ADOS for autism, then look at how the two interact. An AuDHD screening like this one scores both sets of traits side by side so you can see the pattern before that assessment, which is useful because each condition can hide the other.
What support is available for AuDHD?
Support for AuDHD may include ADHD medication, therapy (CBT, occupational therapy), sensory accommodations, routine building with flexibility, social skills support, and workplace accommodations. The key is addressing both sets of needs, which sometimes require different approaches.
What does an AuDHD test measure?
This one measures three things: ADHD traits (sustaining attention, restlessness, impulsivity, time management, finishing what you start), autism traits (sensory sensitivity, need for routine, reading social cues, recovery time after socialising, intense interests) and overlap traits (emotional dysregulation, executive function, masking, burnout). Scores are shown per group, so a high overlap score with a low autism score reads differently from the reverse.
How common is AuDHD?
Research suggests that 50-70% of autistic individuals also have ADHD, and about 20-50% of people with ADHD also meet autism criteria. AuDHD is much more common than previously thought, especially as diagnostic understanding improves.
How does FocusBox help with AuDHD?
FocusBox supports AuDHD by combining structure (routine building, task management) with flexibility (customizable workflows, multiple timer types). Features like sensory-friendly design, visual progress tracking, and AI task planning address both ADHD and autism needs simultaneously.
