Communication is also one of the main things that autism spectrum disorder  (ASD) impacts. ASD is typically thought to be a children’s disorder, but as many as 2.21% of adults in the United States are living with it. ASD can cause struggles with cues, interactions, and self-expression. This makes daily life significantly more challenging.

ADHD and ASD share overlapping symptoms, making accurate diagnosis challenging for even experienced clinicians. Understanding these factors will help you gain valuable insights into how to advocate for proper assessment and support for those affected by these often misunderstood conditions.
