Understanding AuDHD: When Autism and ADHD Co-Occur

This CPD Accedited 2-hour online webinar is aimed at professionals working clinically or therapeutically with autsitic people, although it would still be of interes to individuals and families who want to understand more about Autism + ADHD combined.
