S05 E05 - Why students with ADHD and ASD are at High Risk for School Refusal and Bullying

In this episode we speak with Abbey McClemont about her work with young people who have a diagnosis of ADHD and ASD.
We discuss how having a dual diagnosis of ASD and ADHD can increase the likelihood of young people being targets of bullying and why this is. We explore the links between diagnoses, bullying and school refusal and why externalising behaviour is an important factor in these behaviours. We think about how schools can use this research to support young people with dual diagnoses.
