The sudden rise of AuDHD: what is behind the rocketing rates of this life-changing diagnosis?

Interesting. I don’t have adhd just autism. I don’t know what’s behind the rates. Maybe it is all the late diagnosed adults who are responsible for the high rates.

I think this is correct. Being furloughed or working from home during 2020-21 seemed to make a lot of people realise how much they were masking or on the verge of burn out at work when they had to go back to ‘the office’ again. I’m pretty sure one of the reasons I’ve made it to 39 without referral is because I probably have both. They can almost cancel each other out in a weird way at times. Or maybe mask each other depending on the situation may be a better description than cancel. Also a lot of ladies are diagnosed later in life, especially with ADHD, because hormonal changes can make the traits more severe, or maybe reduce the ability to mask? Something to look forward to in a few years!
