Clinicians have recognized for some time that children with Asperger’s syndrome can also have signs of ADHD, which has been confirmed by several research studies and case descriptions (Ehlers and Gillberg 1993; Fein et al. 2005; Ghaziuddin, Weider-Mikhail and Ghaziuddin 1998; Klin and Volkmar 1997; Perry 1998; Tani et al. 2006). The two diagnoses are not mutually exclusive and a child may benefit from the medical treatment and strategies used for both disorders.
