| Description | Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are frequently marked by symptoms consistent with attention - deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), namely inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity psychopathological, neuropsychological, brain imaging and genetic studies suggest possible pathophysiological links between ASD and ADHD. Thus, standard diagnostic procedures for both disorders should assess the presence of potential comorbid symptoms of the other disorder. Individuals with co-occuring ASD and ADHD symptoms are more severely impaired, with significant deficits seen in social processing, adaptive functioning, and executive control. Recent work has also demonstrated high rates of ASD symptoms in a subset of children with ADHD. |
