[QUOTE="Lillyth, post: 200994, member: 5975"] Marg, Where did you find that info about ADHD possibly being part of the autism spectrum? (And, oh man, if [I]that's[/I] true, our SDs will SURE have an outflux of cash flow on that one!) The reason I ask, is that one PsychoEd Assessor I talked to told me that typically children with ADD DO NOT also have Asperger's. Yet, I read an abstract recently (posted on Stanford's autism site) on just this subject. According to the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Goteborg University, Sweden, essentially 1/3 of kids with ADD are on the autism spectrum & vice versa. (If you want to get technical, 38% of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) also had ADD, and 30% of children with ADD were also on the autism spectrum - but I think it boils down to abut a 1/3 comorbid rate.) I think it would certainly make sense if ADD was a different manifestation of the autism spectrum, and I would love to have some data to share with other folks (like maybe the SD). Thanks a ton! Oh, and welcome (back) serenityntn! [/QUOTE]
