I'm becoming quite confused on whether I actually have ADHD or not. I know I have ADD and autism spectrum disorder but i bet there has been a lot of people that have been diagnosed with ADHD and then got a more in depth evaluation of aspergers disorder because some of the symptoms can be the same/overlap such as;

* Attention problems
Aspergers because of:
-- A need for strict routines
-- language difficulties
-- Obsessive rituals
-- self stimulating behaviors
ADHD because of:
-- Impulsivity
-- Hyperactivity
* Irrationally energetic activity
Aspergers because of:
-- Having their rituals broken by someone else
-- hyperactivity
* learning problems
* Breaks rules
Aspergers because:
-- They like rules but break the rules that they don't understand
ADHD because:
-- They dislike rules and break rules
* often appears to not be listening to someone during a conversation
Aspergers because:
-- They are trying avoid direct eye contact
ADHD because:
They're focused on other things or day dreaming.
* oppositional
Aspergers because:
-- They want to avoid anxiety
ADHD because:
-- They're trying to gain attention
* problems following directions
Aspergers because of:
-- not understanding social request or action
ADHD because:
They're distracted or in 'brain fog' or day dreaming
* says inappropriate things and has problems figuring out the appropriate response to some situations
* talking at someone or talking non stop
* tantrums,
* when younger, difficulty accepting soothing or holding.

Children with ADHD and aspergers both have;
* Serious sensory integration problems
* Uncoordinated and impulsive
* Respond positively to structure and routine
Aspergers because:
-- They have they're own rules that they follow and can use that technique to follow other rules
ADHD because
-- It requires less effort to stay on one task.

Deficit in executive functions for both ADHD and aspergers;
* Inattentiveness
* Distractability
* impulsivity
