[quote=Anonymous]It's a combination of executive functioning deficits (self monitoring) and ADHD (impulsivity, inattention, hyperactivity and hyper focus). I think the degree of social problems depends on the relative strengths/ weaknesses of the particular child. My DS is impulsive, hyper-focused and doesn't self monitor well (meaning he doesn't "read the room" and adjust his behavior accordingly). He definitely has issues with social pragmatics that required social skills therapy. [/quote]
