Overlapping Neurodivergences

Overlapping Neurodivergences

Many individuals with autism also experience other neurodevelopmental conditions, such as ADHD, dyslexia, or dyspraxia. This session examines the shared neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms underlying these overlaps and the challenges they pose for diagnosis and intervention. Presenters will discuss integrated support systems, multidisciplinary evaluation frameworks, and tailored educational strategies that address multiple neurodivergent profiles simultaneously. The goal is to advance holistic approaches that honor each individual’s unique combination of strengths and needs.

Sub-tracks:

  • Autism and ADHD Co-occurrence
  • Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and Cognitive Overlaps
  • Shared Neural Pathways and Genetics
  • Integrated Therapeutic and Educational Approaches
