Understanding your child’s behavior can feel overwhelming—especially when the signs point to Autism (ASD), ADHD, or a mix of both. Episode 13 of Angel’s Awesome Minds Podcast brings clarity, compassion, and research-backed guidance to help parents make sense of the overlap.
In this episode, we break down the real differences between ASD and ADHD, why so many children show symptoms of both, and the surprising metric that predicts long-term success better than IQ: adaptive functioning. You’ll learn how communication skills, social development, and daily living abilities shape your child’s path—and which interventions have the biggest impact.
Whether you’re just beginning this journey or searching for better ways to support your child, this episode gives you the knowledge and confidence you need to move forward.
