[quote=Anonymous]Wanted to add, that according to one doctor we spoke with, the new thinking is, it's all the same spectrum and it's not that ADHD is somehow a better/easier diagnosis. Kids vary in functioning with both diagnosis. There are plenty of people with either diagnosis who are highly impaired and plenty who aren't. The diagnosis gives you some info, but it's I wouldn't throw a big party to celebrate ADHD dx and go into mourining and sit shiva if it's ASD. I think the whole ADHD is easier than ASD thinking goes back decades when only severely impaired kids got a dx of ASD. Many kids decades ago diagnosed with ADHD had symptoms that may have been better described with ASD.[/quote]
