It's part of the current of poor quality research around autism and ADHD, often conflating them into unique condition Audhd.

I think AuDHD is meant to describe having both Autism and ADHD, not conflating them into a single condition

Autism is a spectrum but audhd seems only to apply to the non-severe end

Thing is with those conditions is that there's an objective test you can take, with symptoms that are hard to talk yourself into with other people on the internet

ADHD, not so much
