From what I've read, there is supposedly big cross-over between ADHD, autism spectrum disorders and things like dyslexia/dyspraxia/dyscalculia.

My little boy (adopted) seems to be showing signs of autism, which wouldn't be surprising since his dad suffers from it himself. ADHD, however, was mentioned as an alternative and his school said that could make more sense, so it's easy to see crossover here!

I think it's good to explore all possibilities. It's good to be educated about these things - especially since misdiagnosis seems more common in psychiatry (anecdotal).
