[quote=Anonymous]Asperger's and ADHD are not mutually exclusive, you can have both and it's quite common: I've heard figures as high as 2/3 of kid with ASD can have ADHD. My son is both Asperger's and ADHD but he has ADHD, combined type. It's useful to have a neuropsych eval so that you can target the interventions. Example: My Aspie does not have "slow processing" or "working memory" issues but took longer to do homework bc he spent so much time running around and pacing instead of attending to the assignment. Medication stopped the running around. Because my DS already had an Asperger's diagnosis, I had thought the running around and pacing were stims! But apparently not since they are completely gone with medication for the ADHD.[/quote]
