Not at all: The two disorders are completely different. They can coexist!

No, but kids with : ADHD-Combined Type can 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 Autistic Spectrum Disorder lack some degree of Theory of Mind, the understanding that someone else can have a different point of view or emotion.
