Working with Autistic People in Mental Health Settings: A Neurodiversity Affirmative Guide

Pete Wharmby, author of the bestselling Untypical, returns with a groundbreaking exploration of how ADHD and autism intersect, and what this means for the millions of people who have both.

For a long time, it was believed that you couldn't be both autistic and have ADHD. We now know that's wrong - in fact, the two conditions overlap significantly, with many people having both. But what does this actually mean? How do autism and ADHD interact? And what does this mean for how we understand, support and treat people who have both?

In Different Minds, Pete Wharmby draws on his own experience of being diagnosed with both autism and ADHD as an adult, as well as the latest research, to explore these questions. He looks at how the two conditions interact in areas including executive function, sensory processing, emotional regulation and social communication, and what this means for daily life.

Warm, witty and deeply insightful, Different Minds is essential reading for anyone who has autism and ADHD, thinks they might, or loves someone who does.
