Webinar 6: Autism and ADHD: Differential Diagnosis, Co-Morbidity, and Treatment
Summary:
One of the most common diagnostic questions particularly for children and adolescents is whether the individual’s symptoms fit the profile for a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or both. This webinar will focus on considerations for differential diagnosis including key symptom similarities and differences to help in determining the appropriate diagnosis. Suggestions will also be provided to help providers adapt traditional educational and mental health techniques to address the learning style needs of individuals who present with symptoms of autism and ADHD.
