As compared to when the child presents just one condition (ASD or ADHD). This is because on the surface it is possible to mistake one condition for another. As there is a fair degree of overlap in the child&#8217;s behavioural symptoms. For example, when a parent finds it difficult to have a conversation with their child. It&#8217;s easy to mistake their lack of attention in social setting for deficit in social communication skills (or vice versa). However, understanding the underlying cause of your child&#8217;s behaviour is very important. It is the key to seeking the most appropriate medical intervention at the earliest.<\/p>\n<p>Please use this printable infographic to help understand the two conditions ASD and ADHD in a setting where they can co-occur in a child.
