The Hidden Link Between Autism & ADHD | April 2026
For years, parents have been told their child has ADHD or autism, or “ADHD with autistic traits.” But new research published this month in Molecular Psychiatry shows something different: autism and ADHD may be connected at a biological level in ways that go beyond traditional diagnostic labels.
With a few weeks left in the school year, this research matters now. If your child’s current support plan is built around a label instead of their actual brain, they’re working twice as hard for half the progress.

Neurodiversity x Co-Regulation at Echo Horizon School
Such a privilege to partner with Echo Horizon School. This is the work we're doing nationally — and it's working because it starts with a different question: not how we manage the behavior, but what this child's nervous system is telling us.
When you shift the lens, the strategies finally make sense. If your school or organization is ready for that conversation, let's talk.
Continuing the Series: Neurodiversity x Co-Regulation Part II
On May 7, 2026, Ashley returns to CATDC for the second conversation in our series—moving beyond theory into the shifts educators need to make.
