April is Autism Acceptance Month.

Many individuals and families are navigating both ADHD and autism—and they’re not alone. Research suggests that a significant percentage of people with autism may also have ADHD.

Not long ago, a dual diagnosis wasn’t even considered possible. But for many families, that didn’t match what they were living every day.

These are two separate conditions that can co-occur—and recognizing both can lead to better understanding and support.

Impulse spending. Forgotten subscriptions. For many adults with ADHD, money isn’t just about discipline—it’s about regulation.

With insight from David Goodman, MD, a CHADD spokesperson, and Christine Hargrove, PhD, a contributor to CHADD’s Attention magazine, this article explores why ADHD can make money management harder—and what helps.

Does it ever feel like your child settles a little after time outside? You might be onto something. Research shows that even 20 minutes in green spaces—like parks or tree-lined areas—can help improve attention and reduce ADHD symptoms.

🌿 It’s not a cure. But it is accessible, low-cost, and something many kids naturally enjoy.

Research is suggesting that time in nature can help ease “attentional fatigue”—that worn-out feeling that makes it hard to focus. Sometimes, support looks like stepping outside.
