Larry, I did not say that they are linked, they both belong in the same spectrum. But now this is the but :-)
A person can be diagnosed as having ADHD and asperger, and this I know for a fact. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

While I am not an expert, I have not heard of stuff that reliably links Asperger's to what we consider to be ADHD. It seems to me very different cognitive and perceptual systems are involved. Aspergers's syndrome is the near end of a spectrum with classic Autism at the extreme. Its a problem of perceptual filtering. While ADHD is more of a problem involving the processing of perceptual information and the output of those results. >Actually Larry you are wrong. > >It is called a spectrum for a reason, the lower end of this spectrum is the >ADD/ADHD, then there is shit forgot what is next then it goes into asperger >and then austic. > >Now the problem is that a person can, and it is a known fact that someone >diagnosed as having asperger can attribute some ADD/ADHD attributes as well >as some of the other spectrum. > >This is one of the reasons why it is very hard to diagnose and treat unless >you take the test, which covers the entire spectrum to see where and how you >fit into this spectrum. > > >Andrew Scott >Senior Coldfusion Developer >Aegeon Pty.
