How many kids have you seen over the last few years with rule-outs of both ADHD and autism spectrum disorder? If you’re anything like our practice…hundreds. These are the two most common referral questions in our practice, yet they’re also challenging to tease apart. Dr. Caroline Buzanko returns to the podcast for part 1 in a discussion of differentiating ADHD & ASD. In this first part, we discuss:

• Why it’s important for clinicians to tease these apart
• Neuroanatomical similarities and differences between the two
• The overlap and differentiation of “Part A” ASD symptoms from ADHD symptoms

Cool Things Mentioned

• The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consulting

• Caroline’s previous episodes (one & two) on parental perceptions of the evaluation
