[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 182426, member: 1233"] Girls show Asperger's differnt than boys do. VERY differently from what I remember. Our first psychiatrist was with a major children's hospital. She explained the Asperger's / ADHD relationship this way: ADHD is actually a symptom of the Asperger's. The way our medical system and insurance system is set up a child will get more help if the ADHD is also given as a diagnosis. Often if it isn't she was having insurance refusing to pay for medications and treatments. So they give ADHD as an additional, separate diagnosis, but it is actually PART of the Asperger's Syndrome. I think there are some books out that focus on females with Asperger's. If i can find the titles I will let you know. [/QUOTE]
