Zoomie
"My mind runs faster than the world around me."
Zoomie represents children whose thoughts move quickly and whose energy is always searching for motion.
Tamito Zoomie is like an endless spark — always in motion, inside and out. He runs, jumps, tries ten things at once, or sits quietly while his mind bursts with fireworks of thoughts. The world can feel like a whirlwind, pulling him in every direction, yet also filling him with energy and ideas. He shifts quickly between distractions, or dives so deeply into many things that time disappears. It's constant motion — sometimes messy, but often magical.

How the Zoomie character helps families navigate neurodivergence
The Zoomie character in Tamitos represents the energy, impulsivity, and movement that are so often misread as behavioural problems rather than neurological features.
Using this character with children who have both diagnoses gives them a way to talk about the parts of themselves that feel most out of control — the interrupting, the forgetting, the inability to stop — without those behaviours being framed as character flaws. For parents, it opens a conversation about the very real experience of parenting a child whose needs are complex and whose best day still requires enormous support.
Common questions about ADHD and autism together in autism
Can a child be diagnosed with both autism and ADHD?
Yes. Since 2013 the diagnostic frameworks in most countries have allowed dual diagnosis of autism and ADHD.
Research now confirms they co-occur at very high rates — up to 50–70% of autistic individuals also have ADHD. If your child has one diagnosis and you feel the other may also be present, it is worth raising with a specialist.
How do autism and ADHD interact in children?
The combination often produces a particular kind of tension: autism’s drive for routine and predictability conflicts with ADHD’s impulsivity and distractibility.
The child may crave sameness but act unpredictably; may want to focus but be pulled in every direction; may know their rules but forget them instantly under pressure. Emotional regulation is often particularly challenging because both conditions affect it independently, and together the effect is compounded.
