      <image:title>Blog - What is AuDHD? - Is AuDHD an official diagnosis?</image:title>
      <image:caption>No it is not. AuDHD is a colloquial term, it does not exist as an official diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5 (DSM-5). An individual AuDHDer who has a formal diagnosis will have documents listing both conditions separately; it will likely state that they have ADHD and autism.</image:caption>
