Inside the left head is a tangled red string-like mass; inside the right head is a tangled blue string-like mass. with the caption ADHD and DCD / dyspraxia are thought to occur together in about half of all cases. The image also shows the Oxford Brookes University and Centre for Psychological Research logo and Neurodiversity celebration week 2026 at the top.

Today for #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek we are focusing on when ADHD and DCD (Developmental Coordination Disorder / dyspraxia) co-occur. It is estimated that these neurodivergences occur together in about half of all cases. 🧵1/3.

Join our lab in Geneva, as a postdoc working on #workingmemory, with both Jarrod Lewis-Peacock and myself !

DCD and ADHD are two neurodevelopmental conditions which seem to have many similarities, yet still many differences. In order to categorize and summarize which similarities and differences can be found, we've put together a scoping review of 68 articles now out in @jmldjournal.bsky.social
