Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and asperger's are very similar, don't you think that adhd could be a variant of the autism spectrum?

No I do not: Adhd and asperger/autism spectrum disorders are distinctively different. Adhd is a disruptive behavior disorder with few problems with socialuzation at it's core. Asds have a great deal to do with a person being socially perplexed. It is possible to have one or the other or both. Also, the treatments for adhd in terms of medications do not help much with the social impairments seen in the asds.

No: Attention deficit disorder and asperger's are completely different problems. They can co-exist, but are not the same.

Nope: These are very distinct conditions. They both are brain diseases, but that's where it ends. Both can be comorbid with each other, meaning they can exist together. Their genetic & biological underpinnings are in completely different areas of brain.

4/4 doctors agree: Children with adhd-combined type have trouble with peer interactions and prosocial skills largely due to their impulsivity, impatience and intrusiveness. This is often tolerated by peers till age 7, when neuro-typical kids want to get their work done. People with asperger's, in varying degrees, lack theory of mind, the ability to understand that someone else can have a different point of view.

Adhd/autism: No, but u can have coexisting Asperger with adhd. Intellectually, they are different.
