Subject: RE: A Wish for Autism
Great article, Les, thanks for posting it.

The answer it gives me, in a nutshell, is that ADHD is not strictly in the autistic spectrum as ADHD sufferers rarely suffer from communication problems. Autism and ADHD can however be closely linked and people with one often suffer from the other. The important thing is that it is very complex and needs professional diagnosis.

The other thing is that it is funny you should mention your own ADHD - I started this thread , only a couple of weeks back, wondering the self same thing about myself! I think we all suffer from something is the conclusion I am rapidly drawing:-)

Cheers

Dave
