Could autism and ADHD both fit?
There is no single medical test for AuDHD. pysiQ keeps autism and ADHD as separate screeners, then brings your results together in one Blueprint so you can see the overlap without flattening everything into one score.
Why there are two screeners
AuDHD is a community term for being both autistic and ADHD; it is not a separate diagnosis with its own validated questionnaire. Autism and ADHD are assessed separately because they describe different patterns. Keeping the results apart makes it easier to see what each screener picked up—and where the two pictures meet.
- Autism: social processing, sensory experience, routines, focused interests, and masking
- ADHD: attention regulation, impulsivity, restlessness, task initiation, and working memory
- Blueprint: one view of the results after you complete both screeners
- No account required and no result hidden behind a paywall
The overlap can look contradictory
You might build detailed plans and still lose them halfway through the day. Routine may feel calming until it becomes painfully boring. You may seek stimulation while also becoming overloaded by noise, light, or social demands. Those tensions are often more useful to explore than a generic list of ‘AuDHD symptoms’.
- Craving predictability but struggling to repeat a routine
- Deep focus on an interest but difficulty switching to basic tasks
- Wanting connection and needing substantial recovery afterwards
- Seeking novelty while unexpected change still feels destabilising
What your Blueprint does
After each screener you get its result on its own. When both are complete, your Blueprint brings the profiles together and shows how strongly each pattern appears in your answers. It is a way to organise your observations, not a verdict about which label applies to you.
- Keeps the autism and ADHD scores visible separately
- Shows the combined AuDHD pattern when both profiles are elevated
- Gives you language for patterns that are hard to explain
- Lets you return to your results privately on the same device
What an online screener cannot settle
Similar experiences can also be shaped by anxiety, trauma, sleep problems, depression, physical health, or other conditions. A screener cannot reconstruct your developmental history or test alternative explanations. If these patterns have been present since childhood and affect daily life, a clinician experienced in adult autism and ADHD can look at the fuller picture.
