[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 464549"] Malika, the symptoms of both are very alike. The biggest difference with my difficult child is that he had mild delays in communication and social skills when he was young (developmental). He had some odd behaviors that I didn't realize back then such as lining his Matchbox cars up in an imaginary parking lot and no one was allowed to disturb them. He also avoids eye contact with people he doesn't know WELL. He also perseverates on topics that do change every few months. He used to talk about fishing ALL the time. Now it is golfing (his new hobby). During soccer season, he talks about that constantly. That is what is "different" between Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and ADHD in our case. There are many more similarities (with ADHD [B]and[/B] ODD combined) than differences in our case which made diagnosis harder. Does this answer your question or did I read your post incorrectly?
