The Co- Occurrence of Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in children-what do we know?
Symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often co-occur. The DSM IV had specified that an ASD diagnosis is an exclusion criterion for ADHD, thereby limiting research of this common clinical co-occurrence. As neurodevelopmental disorders, both A...
