ADHD and Autism Spectrum: Can They Co-Occur?

Sinopse

Historically, persons who had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were not able to also have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.  As of the DSM-5, the conditions have been defined such that a person can have a dual diagnosis.  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (http://digcoaching.com) interviews Dr. Meghan R. Miller (http://mindinstitute.org) on this new dynamic that the conditions could co-occur. They address some of the complexities of it and discuss how researchers are really trying to hone in to figure it out. If you got a diagnosis that just can’t be explained by ADHD or autism and you have a hunch that something else is there, you’ll find their conversation fascinating. Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit disorder, adults with ADD, or adults who have children with ADHD.
