Off-topic, but I subscribe to the notion that ADD and ASD share a broader spectrum if not a common neurological pathology. DSM-V changed the rules overnight and now it’s very common for ASD and ADD comorbidity to be positively diagnosed. My personal, lay-person (but diagnosed) opinion is both spectrum definitions are “wrong” and I hope we’ll have more objective diagnostic criteria in the near future.
An issue with ASD is the prevalence of higher intelligence levels that mask occurrence of ADD - until those people advance their education or careers until a point where it becomes a problem - and then it becomes a real problem.
Do you have an opinion or position on the subject of ASD/ADD comorbidity?
