"Past research has shown that kids with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have comorbid ADHD. However, a new study suggests that the reverse may also be true.
The study of 469 children showed that significantly more of those with ADHD had ATs compared with their peers without ADHD. In addition, the group with both ADHD and ATs had significantly more psychopathologic, neuropsychological, and interpersonal deficits, as well as more emotional dysregulation.
'We showed that some children who do not fulfil the criteria for autism have a lot of similar social difficulties and interpersonal dysfunction. That might be something that's important to recognize,' principal investigator Joseph Biederman, MD, told Medscape Medical News."
