Misdiagnosed ADHD & Autism Masterclass: Differential Diagnosis & Neuro-Affirming Interventions

Course overview

This 6-hour intensive training equips mental health professionals with advanced skills to recognize, differentiate, and treat ADHD and autism when presentations are masked, subtle, or co-occurring. Discover how specialists identify diagnostic overshadowing, avoid common misattribution to anxiety, depression, or personality disorders, and provide neuro-affirming care that works with the client's neurotype rather than against it. Learn practical assessment approaches that account for how neurodivergent traits manifest across cognitive, sensory, relational, and functional domains especially in women, late-diagnosed adults, and high-masking clients who don't fit stereotypical presentations. Gain the clinical decision-making framework for differentiating ADHD from autism, recognizing when both co-occur AuDHD, and identifying autistic burnout before it's misread as treatment-resistant depression. Designed for licensed mental health professionals seeking to elevate their clinical effectiveness with neurodivergent clients through immediately applicable, evidence-based, and neuro-affirming interventions.
