My son is severely ADHD and is also either Aspergers or high functioning autistic.
For several years I did wonder if ADHD might be part of the spectrum. I'm pretty sure that it is not because I am aware of kids who are ADHD but not on the spectrum.
I am also pretty sure that ADHD and ADD are not the same thing. I have not been able to find any published research documenting this, but I do suspect that different parts of the brain are involved in each type of functioning.
