This episode is conducted in Mandarin.

What happens when a child has both Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

In this episode, we welcome back paediatrician Dr Annie Liau to help us understand how ASD and ADHD can co-exist, how they may affect a child’s learning, emotions and daily life, and what parents can do to support them.

We also discuss practical strategies such as building routines, breaking tasks into smaller steps, allowing movement breaks, using specific praise, and helping a child regulate during a meltdown.

Most importantly, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Every child and every family is different, and support should be adapted to their individual needs.

这一集，我们再次以华语 / Mandarin进行。

如果孩子已经被诊断为自闭症（ASD），后来又发现有注意力不足过动症（ADHD）的特征，家长可能会疑惑：为什么两个情况会同时出现？这又会怎样影响孩子的学习、情绪和日常生活？

这一集，我们再次邀请儿科医生 Dr Annie Liau 廖慧汶医生，一起谈谈 ASD 与 ADHD 的分别、两者同时出现时可能面对的挑战，以及家长可以怎样在日常生活中给予更适合的支持。

我们也聊到一些实际方法，包括建立规律、把任务拆小、安排适当的休息和运动、具体地称赞孩子，以及在孩子情绪崩溃时，如何减少刺激、先帮助他们平静下来。

最重要的是，没有一种方法适合所有孩子。理解孩子真正的需要，才能找到适合他们和整个家庭的方式。
