ADHD and Autism Clarified by a Clinical Neuropsychologist
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are two prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders that can significantly affect a child’s development. Both conditions can occur alongside anxiety, complicating their management. Understanding these disorders through comprehensive neuropsychological assessment is crucial for effective intervention. In this article, we will delve into the importance of these assessments, the role of Dr. Adelina Matevosyan at Neurocognitive Solutions, and the specific testing methods used for ADHD and Autism.
What Are ADHD and Autism?
ADHD is characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Children with ADHD may struggle with focusing, following instructions, and managing their impulses, leading to challenges in academic and social settings. Conversely, Autism is marked by difficulties in social interaction, communication challenges, and restricted or repetitive behaviors. While ADHD and Autism are distinct conditions, they often co-occur, complicating diagnosis and treatment.
