[quote=Anonymous]Amen. These are all just poor attempts to impose arbitrary order and labels on a complex reality we do not yet fully understand. My friends with kids with "just" an adhd diagnosis invariably report some issues that I associate with the spectrum in my kid with a dual hfa/adhd diagnosis. There is no bright line, and for hfa kids the more important challenge can be the adhd. So whether or not your kid scores enough for an official diagnosis they can have some spectrum traits (eg, rigid black & white thinking) and understanding them can be helpful. My wife and I now see all of our own HFA tendencies more clearly even though neither of us would remotely qualify for a diagnosis. And we have had first class professionals say our kid does and does not fall on the ASD side of the "line." [/quote]
