Something to consider is a co-morbid diagnosis. There is a crazy high number of people with an ASD that also have ADHD. My daughter is one of those people, and while sometimes it's tough to figure out which one is causing a behavior, once we do she does well. Figuring it out is necessary as coping techniques/behavior modification techniques are waaaay different so we know how to approach it.
Before anyone jumps on that last statement, my daughter is sick and tired of "being weird" and is willing to work on it so she isn't automatically thought of in that manner by strangers and acquaintances. She's also sick and tired of her words being misinterpreted and she gets frustrated because she doesn't know what's going on and she's also willing to work hard to fix those issues as well.
