[quote=Anonymous]They're two entirely different disorders. ASD is a disorder of social communication and repetitive behaviors. A good clinician will be able to administer the ADOS in such a way that elicits the difference between a child who CAN engage in expected social communication, but might appear inattentive or unable to focus on communication due to ADHD. and one who cannot (due to ASD). They are really two different things, and if your doctor is saying he/she can't tell the difference, then you need a better doctor. If you truly believe your child is borderline or has both, then select two respected teaching hospitals with expert clinics (say CHOP and KKI) and get two sets of testing done. [/quote]
