Hey guys
Did you guys know that ADHD and Autism is combained disorder?
well it means that two things togethers soo yea. i think the reason why is because they exist at same time around and they are soo alike. that why it hard for doctors to diagnostic ADHD because autism, Derepssion, OCD, CD and learning disabilities are alike.

my son has autism. he can not talk, read, write or understand very much. people who have adhd can do all of these things and live a normal life, get a job, get married and have kids. so not they are not alike at all.

I have ADHD. - My neice has autism. The two conditions are very different. Yes, they both involve the brain; Same with OCD, bipolor & other conditions, but they are significantly different.
The top three signs of autism are;
1. Social Impairment such as;
a. No eye contact, pointing, or gestures to communicate.
b. Doesn't show off items. "Look at what I have!" type behaviour, or otherwise share interest or enjoyment with others.
2. Impairments in Communication such as;
a. Delay in, or total lack of speech
b. Or with Asperger's, marked impairment in the
ability to initiate or sustain a conversation with others.
3. Repetitive movements, patterns of behavior & interests such as;
a. Hand-flapping, rocking, etc.
b. Obsessions with objects or parts of objects.
c. Prefers to organize or line up items rather than actually "play" with them.
d. Inflexible adherence to routines & rituals. (My niece will throw a fit if the bus driver doesn't stop at every normal stop even if the child at that particular stop didn't come to school that day, therefore doesn't need to be dropped off.)
Does any of that sound like ADHD? I don't think so.

An autistic person may show the symptoms of ADHD but the disorders are very different. Check your facts before you confuse a lot of people. What was your question anyways?
