Difference between ADHD and Aspergers?


Is there any difference(s) between ADHD and Aspergers Syndrome?

by reading basic information in the internet.

ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Asperger's syndrome is a pervasive developmental disorder and is neurological. ADHD or ADD is commonly a co morbidity (occurs within the diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome) to Asperger's. Asperger's diagnosed people are affected by their inability to understand others intentions, read social cues, and typically have difficulty making friends.

People are usually first diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, generalized anxiety disorder, and OCD; before being diagnosed with AS. Commonly, a person with Asperger's will suffer from some or even all of these co- occurring symptoms and conditions.

I have AS and as a result I suffer from anxiety, OCD and ADD.

ADHD is a problem focusing, Asperger's syndrome is a form of autism that sometimes shows itself in anti-social behavior.

They are COMPLETELY different disorders. The signs and symptoms are very different.
