- Abstract
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are among the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric syndromes in childhood. While the syndromes have unambiguous distinctions, ADHD and ASD share several common cognitive and behavioral disturbances including deficits in behavior regulation, deficits associated with executive functions impairments (planning, inattention, behavioral regulation), motor coordination problems, and impairments in peer relationships/socialization. This article provides an overview of the available clinical research data on the shared cognitive and behavioral symptoms in ASD and ADHD, with a focus on implications for psychosocial treatments. Evaluating the overlap between these common developmental disorders, as well as the subset of individuals exhibiting comorbid ADHD and ASO, has potential to advance conceptualizations of each disorder including factors influencing treatment response.
