Psychosocial Interventions for AuDHD
Psychosocial measures aim to induce change in psychological, cognitive, behavioral, biological, and social factors that contribute to the symptoms of AuDHD. Psychosocial interventions for AuDHD may include:
Therapy: Therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), can help devise strategies for challenging the difficult emotions associated with AuDHD. Moreover, CBT can highlight strengths such as creativity and help the individual use these strengths to improve focus and attention. However, it’s important to account for the individual’s social and communicative abilities when choosing a suitable therapeutic approach.
Psychoeducation: Understanding the reasons behind the symptoms and difficulties associated with AuDHD can help an individual and their families adopt a more empathetic approach. Plus, there are various support groups depending on your region which aim to empower success through knowledge and support.
Executive functioning techniques: Specific therapies (such as EFT) and groups that target executive functioning skills can help alleviate the difficulties associated with ASD and therefore ease AuDHD symptoms. These approaches improve cognitive, time management, organizational, and attentional skills.
Support groups: There are multiple support options available for people who struggle with specific symptoms of AuDHD. For example, vocational support exists where people will assist with CVs or preparing for a job interview. Alternatively, assistance is available for issues such as improving concentration and reducing distress. Make sure to consult your local ASD and ADHD advice groups for further information.
All is not lost. There is hope.
