ADHD thats a difficult one. This article helps to understand better (much better than I could put it).

When my daughter was disgnosed with ADHD, they did a special set of tests to see if she had Aspbergers as well. It would seem that the two are possible.

With my daughter, she didn't appear to be Aspebergers, but the specialist was concerned with one part of the result and that part does show up with her at times. I sometimes look and think "Blimey she is more autistic than my daughter who is autistic". Whilst she doesn't have the same difficuties in socialising, she does have issues with her behaviour with her freinds when she gets hyper and at that point, it is very difficult to get her calmed down.

I am pretty sure I am ADHD, but have never been diagnosed. I have only realised this by reflecting back on my life and seeing and learning about my daughter. I am pretty sure my Dad was as well. I suppose it would be nice to get that confirmed, but at my time of life, I don't think I will bother.

Hope that helps.
