AD/HD and Asperger's: Aspergers disorder is now considered an autism spectrum disorder (in the new dsm-5) and usually shows up in the attachment, language, and play very early in childhood. Ad/hd typically shows up around elementary school aged children and must occur in another setting to be a valid diagnosis. If you have more specific concerns that are emerging please consult your pediatrician re. Symptoms.
