[quote=Anonymous]So many of these disorders have overlapping symptoms and many of them are 'spectrum' disorders - meaning there is a huge range of affliction and severity.  Since apraxia of speech is a planning/coordination disorder, it's not uncommon for people to be afflicted in other physical areas.  However, people with ASD can have motor planning/coordination issues, people with ADHD can have it, people with sensory can have it.  People with nothing else going on can have it.  Hyperactivity can be a symptom of ADHD but it can also be a symptom of low muscle tone.  When muscles are fatigued, there's more movement to relief the stress muscles.  Other people will exhibit increased movement as mental effort increases.  Finally, "strong" isn't very descriptive.  Almost everyone can be 'strong' in their way, even people with low muscle tone.  "Strength" has nothing to do with tone.

So, in short, of course hyperactivity/strong can be seen in people with apraxia but it's also seen in a whole lot of other people, too.  It's not a defining characteristic.[/quote]
