About This Resource
C-PTSD vs AuDHD: A Clinician’s Guide to Differentiation and Neurodiversity-Affirming Care is a specialist clinical reference for working with clients whose presentation could reflect complex post-traumatic stress disorder, AuDHD (Autism + ADHD), or both.
These two presentations frequently overlap in clinical practice, and the same behaviours can stem from very different causes. Getting the formulation right matters, because it shapes whether an intervention builds capacity or overwhelms it, and whether therapy feels safe or repeats earlier harm.
This guide works through four core differential domains, helping you separate what is neurodevelopmental, what is trauma-related, and where the two intersect in a client’s presentation.
A dedicated chapter on affirming, trauma-informed management supports you in adapting your approach with clients whose presentation reflects both, and reflection prompts throughout support your own clinical thinking as you apply the material.
What’s Included
- A framework for differentiating C-PTSD and AuDHD across four core domains
- Guidance on separating autistic, ADHD, and trauma-related contributions within complex presentations
- A chapter on affirming, trauma-informed management, including formulation, sequencing, safety, and avoiding re-traumatisation
- Reflection prompts for clinical practice, supervision, and case review
Who Is This Resource For?
This guide is written for psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health clinicians who assess or treat clients with complex presentations involving trauma, autism, ADHD, or a combination of these. It will be particularly useful for clinicians who often see clients who have been previously misdiagnosed, or whose presentation doesn’t fit neatly into a single diagnostic category.

Psychologists and allied health professionals across Australia and internationally use these resources to support assessment, therapy and documentation in everyday clinical practice.
Below is a selection of feedback from clinicians who have integrated these tools into their work and found them to be structured, practical and aligned with professional standards.
Amanda's Clinical Resource Bundle has been a game changer, especially the Psychometric Assessment Finder. It has saved me countless hours searching for the right assessments for my clients. I highly recommend Amanda's clinical resources. Not only it is beautifully presented, but it's also easy to navigate and read. It's definitely a time-saver in the busy life of a provisional psychologist.
Amanda's Bundle: Depression, Social Anxiety, and Generalised Anxiety Manuals has been a game-changer for my work in private practice. I was overwhelmed with treatment planning, and these manuals provided a straightforward and pragmatic approach for planning sessions. Amanda's resources have not only streamlined my planning but also enriched my practice with tools such as client-friendly homework worksheets and educational posters. Thank you, Amanda, for creating such an impactful resource!
I recently purchased the Treatment Manuals and I must say I am impressed with its quality and usefulness. What I loved about it was how easy it was to navigate and find the information I needed. The manuals are well-organized and the content is up-to-date and relevant. They have impacted my clinical work positively by saving me time and effort in finding the information I need. Overall, my experience with the products purchased has been great and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and comprehensive clinical resource. I am definitely looking out to see if any manuals for couples therapy or trauma are released to be first in line (or online, lol) to purchase! Thanks again!
Amanda’s templates for depression, anxiety, and social anxiety have helped make my clinical preparation easier and more straightforward. Simple, easy to follow instructions make it a breeze. The manuals walk you through session by session. Guiding you on what to look for, and what to focus on. Lots of handy hints and tips. Hyperlinks make navigation simple, taking you to where you need to go. I’d highly recommend the manuals for anyone looking for a simple and straight forward way to apply CBT skills.
I am completing my Masters in MPP and did a subject on CBT, have multiple books on it and am also working through a TF-CBT training course. I purchased the manual as I thought it might be a useful supplement, but I was WRONG! It is NOT 'just a supplement', but a beautifully laid out, logical and practical approach and complete guide to CBT.
I have used it in sessions with clients, and it has been a wonderful tool to keep on track with sessions and presents information for you as the therapist in accessible and practical ways. It also has some really nice handouts for clients to supplement the session and for them to take home to use for homework. Highly recommended to add to your toolbox.
This seems like the most comprehensive guide to treating depression and anxiety I have ever come across. I love the session by session structure! Thank you so much!
Since returning to work as a psychologist after extended maternity leave to care for my young family, I’ve embarked on a journey and a personal mission to learn as much as I can about neurodiversity affirming practice. It was amazing finding Amanda Moses’ work because I knew I could rely on the information she was providing to be truly NDA, which is something I often worried about earlier on in my journey. I recommend Amanda Moses Psychology to colleagues who endeavor to learn more about NDA practice, and I’m really excited to access further training through Amanda Moses Psychology.
I love the way Amanda has so enthusiastically presented the clinical template bundles. I appreciate this practical nuts and bolts set of resources, which I have tried to make for myself over the last decade and failed ;). Big thanks Amanda!
For anyone engaged in intervention work with clients. I HIGHLY recommend Amanda's manuals. Something beautiful happened yesterday with a client that made the purchase so worth it. After months of what felt like going around in circles with a client who is experiencing severe depression, I made a change to my normal routine. I used the whiteboard in the room to draw graphics from Amanda's manuals and write explanations rather than talking or using graphics from other providers (e.g.. CCI). They walked into the room, immediately saw the whiteboard, stopped for a few minutes and went "that tracks". The light bulb moment was real.
THANK YOU, AMANDA, FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL RESOURCE!!
The quality of resources that are released in Amanda's community every month are second to none. They are relevant, neuroaffirming and so helpful for my practice as a Psychologist. They are jam packed with information, context as to why we choose certain approaches, how to adapt for different presentations. I use these resources all the time.
I really liked the Neuro affirming strategies for ADHD resource I purchased. It’s given me new ideas on how to better work with my neurodivergent clients in a manner that better resonates with them.
I would recommend this resource for other psychologists as it is straightforward and very practical.

Yes. Most of the clinical tools are designed to be used directly in therapy and assessment sessions.
Each therapy manual and guide include structured worksheets, reflection exercises, and homework activities that can be introduced in-session and used between appointments. Printable materials are provided so they can be used collaboratively during sessions or shared with clients for ongoing work.
Where relevant, I have also included guidance for clinicians on how to introduce each tool, explain its purpose, and integrate it meaningfully into therapeutic work. The intention is to support active, collaborative therapeutic processes.
