ADHD or autism?
Has anyone’s 4 year old given the results that they struggle in certain areas like social that may be linked the autism level 1? But…thinking it might be adhd instead?
I have such a gut feeling that this result isn’t correct, I have felt for a long time and through researched have always kind of leaned more towards my son having adhd. I have looked into the characteristics into both and my son have much more similar characteristics as those with adhd. He doesn’t care for routines but he’s very relentless, always on the move, high energy. But he loves social settings, meeting others, playing with others, no tippy toes, he’s able to read other emotions and comfort them, responds to his name and even makes pretty good eye contact. The only thing with him is he’s like a child running on like 5 full charged batteries, he has his chill moments where he plays alone, or admires his books, sits quietly for a long time, does puzzles, colors, is starting to write his name, he’s pretty fluent in both English & Spanish and knows a bit of sign language but uses rarely.
So I guess what I’m asking is, has anyone’s child been given the autism level 1 and really it turned out to be adhd?
