Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental health disorders in children, affecting 7.2% of people under the age of 18 worldwide. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition that affects social communication, interactions, and behaviour.
The symptoms of ASD and ADHD overlap. Most children with ASD may have symptoms of ADHD. These include difficulty settling down, social awkwardness, an ability to focus only on things that interest them, and impulsivity.
Roughly, two-thirds of children with ADHD have at least one co-existing condition. Some studies suggest that up to half of kids with ASD also have ADHD. ADHD is not part of autism.
