Malika - Thank you for sharing that. Some very interesting and enlightening information there. I find this conversation fascinating as I mostly believe difficult child is ADHD but there is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in my family as well.
I look at my nephew who is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and I look back at difficult child and I there is a distinct difference between them but similarities as well. You can get to know my nephew and say "Yes, he is Aspie or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) - they haven't made the distinction yet." But I can't say that with difficult child.
I'd be interested to know what types of sensory integration problems are common in ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Are they the same or different?
