ADHD and Autism: Similarities and Differences

The neurodevelopmental diseases Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are frequently discussed in a world where it is becoming more and more vital to recognize and embrace neurodiversity. Despite the fact that these disorders are separate, confusion and incorrect diagnoses are sometimes caused by their overlapping symptoms. Many different periods of life are affected by ADHD, which is characterized by its characteristic symptoms of impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention.
