This strategy guide is designed to support educators, therapists, and families working with children who experience characteristics of both Autism and ADHD (commonly referred to as AuDHD). These children often present with overlapping traits—such as sensory sensitivities, impulsivity, executive functioning challenges, and intense emotional experiences—which require flexible, compassionate, and personalized support strategies. While the strategies in this guide are based on common challenges and evidence-based practices, they are provided for informational purposes only. Every child is unique, and successful support must be based on an individualized diagnosis, ongoing observation, and professional guidance. Always consult with specialists such as psychologists, occupational therapists, or speech and language pathologists for tailored interventions.

The signs listed in this table are common indicators of school-related anxiety and are intended to raise awareness among educators, caregivers, and support staff. It is important to remember that every child expresses anxiety differently, and some signs may overlap with other emotional, behavioral, or neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD, Autism, or trauma.

This guide is provided for informational purposes only and should not be used for diagnosis. If a child is showing consistent signs of school-related anxiety, it is essential to consult with qualified professionals, such as a school psychologist, counselor, or pediatric mental health provider, to develop an individualized support plan.
