ADHD & ASD: Understanding the Difference and the Overlap.

At Jupiter Health, we’re committed to raising awareness about two often misunderstood neurodevelopmental conditions: ADHD and ASD.

ADHD affects attention, impulse control, and activity levels, making focus and organization more challenging.
ASD affects communication, sensory processing, and social interaction, creating unique strengths and unique needs.

Many people experience both, and their symptoms can overlap in areas like executive function, emotional regulation, and sensory sensitivity.

Awareness helps us create compassion, provide better support, and embrace the full spectrum of neurodiversity.

If you or someone you love is navigating ADHD or ASD, Jupiter Health is here to guide, assess, and support

Heading on a holiday soon? 🚗 A well-prepared first aid kit can make all the difference if someone gets hurt or unwell while you’re away.

It’s easy to put one together using items you may already have at home. Having these on hand when you travel helps you manage minor injuries and reduce the impact while you seek help🩹

Use our checklist to make your travel-friendly first aid kit before you go. Don’t forget to pack any regular medications or health items specific to your needs.

When patients register with MyMedicare, they gain access to a range of benefits designed to improve continuity of care and make it easier to access health services.
✅ Better Continuity of Care
Your registered general practice becomes your "home base" for most of your healthcare needs.
GPs can get a more complete picture of your health, which supports better long-term management.
📋 Access to Longer Medicare Funded Telehealth Appointments
If you're registered and have an ongoing relationship with your GP, you may be eligible for longer telehealth consultations—which can help avoid unnecessary trips to the clinic.
👩‍⚕️ Improved Care Planning for Chronic Conditions
GPs can more easily coordinate your care, including arranging services like care plans, health assessments, and team care arrangements.
🏥 Stronger Support if You’re in Hospital
If you’re admitted to hospital, being registered allows for better discharge planning and follow-up care, as your GP will be notified and involved.
💬 Stronger Relationship with Your Preferred GP
MyMedicare supports a more stable, consistent GP-patient relationship, which can improve trust, communication, and overall health outcomes.
