Based on what I've read and personal experience, there seems to be a significant amount of overlap between ASDs, ADHD, OCDs, and bi-polar. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a significant amount of underlying complexity we're missing that ties these disorders together.

Individuals have a lower ability to autoregulate their emotional state, making them less able to deal with frustration, and more vulnerable to compulsive behaviors, addiction, anxiety, and depression.
