A Note on Overlap Between ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia
Many people experience a blend of ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia or other neurodivergent traits. These profiles often overlap, and real‑world experiences rarely fit into neat diagnostic categories.
I use these headings simply to help people find the information they’re searching for — not to separate or label you. My coaching is always holistic, personalised and grounded in your unique strengths, challenges and lived experience.
