[quote=Anonymous]A huge number of adhd - up to 83% in some studies - also have autistic traits. And vice versa https://bmcpsychiatry.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12888-020-02703-z We have to start normalizing ‘traits’ language because we now know that there is no ‘line’. I would use the label that is most helpful to the child and to others in as much as it’s helpful. If autism is a red herring and leading people down the wrong path - then it’s not the thing to lead with. I think in ten years time we’ll have much more nuanced diagnoses and we’ll see less definitive language and much better supports as a result [/quote]
