Показать описание
The core symptoms of ADHD are hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity while Autism spectrum disorder leads to impairment in social and communication skills associated with certain repeated and restricted patterns of interests, behaviours and activities . Both are neuro-developmental conditions.

1) ADHD children have difficulty in sustaining attention at one activity for a long time while ASD children will have high level of Focus on the topics of interest.
2) ADHD child will be over talkative , always wants to have the last word and sometimes blurts out answers even before a question is finished. They find it difficult to wait for their turn. While a child with ASD will find it difficult to express his emotions, thoughts and feelings in words.They struggle to communicate. Sometimes they fixate at one topic and may also be found repeating words
3) ADHD Child will get board very quickly while ASD child will insist on sameness.
4) ADHD child finds it difficult to adhere to routines while a child with ASD get upset on change in routines.

There are some overlap of symptoms too in both the conditions and it is also possible to have both the conditions in a child.

This video is a fine example of how ASD and ADHDs hear when there are different mixed sounds and just cannot distinguish one from another. I’m going to show this to my psychologist.

1. Is totally wrong! It is not just inattention but can be hyper focus. It isn't a lack of attention but an inability to regulate attention.

Thank you doc for your good work
It’s been months now and my child has improved completely since using your herbs.
His therapist and school teacher has confirmed his improvement and this makes me happy
God bless you Dr Oyalo
