Adult ADHD and Autism Assessments
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism (autism spectrum disorder, ASD) are two conditions that can have a significant impact on an individual’s daily life. Both conditions can make it difficult for people to focus, communicate effectively, and interact with others, which can lead to feelings of frustration and isolation. However, with proper assessment and treatment, Autistic and/or ADHD adults can learn to manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.
Assessing Symptoms: The First Step in Managing ADHD and Autism
One of the first steps in managing ADHD and Autism, particularly in the context of Understanding ADHD in North Carolina and Understanding Autism in North Carolina, is to seek a proper assessment.
