[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 564174, member: 11791"] lms... yes. The "ADHD" symptoms are among the ones that "can" be part of Aspie... but not the ones that define "being Aspie". Just like Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) or Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), for example. Many Aspies have those too, but not all of them. If you ARE an Aspie, you technically can't get ADHD or Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) as a diagnosis, because it is part of the definition (I believe Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) is still separate). But many psychiatrists give those as a secondary diagnosis to "refine" the Aspie diagnosis... to actually indicate to schools and others the kinds of issues this kid is dealing with. [/QUOTE]
