  Author(s): Bruce H Knox*
  
  Co-occurring Level 1 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), commonly termed AuDHD, represent a complex neurodevelopmental profile characterised by interacting cognitive, behavioural, and physiological systems [1-3]. This paper integrates clinical literature with detailed lived experience to examine how ASD, ADHD, and autonomic dysfunction form an interdependent entanglement, producing cascade-based dysregulation rather than isolated symptoms [2,4,5]. The narrative introduces a sequential model of escalation, moving from trigger through cognitive appraisal, autonomic activation, perceptual narrowing, and functional collapse [4-7]. The analysis demonstrates how overlapping conditions amplify one another and why siloed diagnostic frameworks are often inade- quate [1,2,8]. Clinical implications include the need to recognise cascade dynamics, to.. Read More»
