Seed Talks lecture by Professor James Brown on the neurobiology of ADHD and the co-occurrence of ADHD and autism, followed by a Q&A.
Professor James Brown brings The Science of AuDHD: Understanding how ADHD and Autism intersect to Unity Place on Tuesday 19 January 2027. It's part of Seed Talks, a series of live lectures on psychology, neuroscience and mental health delivered by university researchers, clinical psychologists and neuroscientists, and sits within their Milton Keynes collection.
The talk focuses on the neurobiology of ADHD and the emerging evidence that AuDHD — the co-occurrence of ADHD and autism — may represent a distinct brain profile rather than just a diagnostic overlap. It's an in-person session for ages 16 and over, and there's a Q&A after the talk, so you'll have a chance to ask questions and hear from others in the room. The session is designed to help you understand how to manage symptoms more effectively.
Professor Brown comes to this from both sides of the lectern. He's an academic researcher and science communicator, but he also draws on his own experience: he was diagnosed with ADHD in 2021, co-founded and chairs the registered UK charity ADHDadultUK, set up the evidence-based online ADHD magazine focusmag.uk, and co-founded and co-hosts The ADHD Adults Podcast. He also works as an ADHD coach and mentor through his company JBHD Ltd.
