Co-morbidity?

I have just recieved my full assessment report from the person who gave me a diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorder and she has also sent me and email saying that due to my processing difficulties she would like me to fill in an ADHD questionnaire. On the report she said she was sending one to ‘rule it out’

Can ADHD and ASD co-exist? I always thought that if there was a diagnosis of ASD then any other difficulties were put under the umbrella of that,  and not a separate thing?

    Hi Lellynelly,

    ADHD and other conditions can coexist with ASD.  OCD is another one.

    It's good that the health professional wants to investigate things further though just to be sure and help you manage things going forward.
