Insufficient sleep and sleep problems are very common in children and teens with ADHD. In fact, half of parents of children with ADHD say that their child has moderate or severe problems getting enough rest. In adolescence, sleep can become more disrupted as biological changes affect circadian function and teens take more control of their sleep habits and schedule.
Insufficient or poor sleep is linked to daytime impairments in children with ADHD: severe inattention, depression, and poorer quality of life and daily functioning. Thankfully, we now have research to help parents better understand the link between ADHD and sleep, and to tap into effective treatments.

ADHD is one of the most common co-occurring conditions for individuals on the autism spectrum. Adults with ADHD and ASD diagnoses experience a poorer quality of life and less developed communication and social skills than do those with ASD alone. Surprisingly, almost all that we know about the intersection of ADHD and ASD comes from studies with children.
What about adults? Does ADHD persist into adulthood for adults on the autism spectrum? How do clinicians tease apart these diagnoses? Are adults diagnosed with ASD affected by ADHD in the same ways as children? What can we do to support adults who have both diagnoses?

How can we help to boost their self-esteem and also our own joy of parenting?
