Although they share many of the same symptoms, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism are very different disorders.tâs estimated that ADHD affects 3 to 5 percent of kids in the United States.

What Is Autism? Autism is a complex neurobehavioral condition that includes impairments in social interaction and developmental language and communication skills combined with rigid, repetitive behaviors. Because of the range of symptoms, this condition is now called autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It covers a large spectrum of symptoms, skills, and levels of impairment. ASD ranges in severity from a handicap that somewhat limits an otherwise normal life to a devastating disability that may require institutional care.
