Hi actually there is often an overlap, more than half of children with ASD also have ADHD (which may be undiagnosed). Having both ASD and ADHD can be harder to manage than just 1 condition alone, and often requires a combination of approaches such as behavioural therapy, OT, ST, parent training and medication.
