Factors linking ADHD and ASD

[Guest guest]

Hi Theresa:

Thanks you so much for keeping up on the latest research on this topic. I love

your posts.

Both my son and I have ADHD and the majority of the health symptoms of ASD, he

is also borderline Aspergers. Navigating doctors, supplements, research, and

getting through the day can be exhausting. But especially frustrating watching

your child experience it and not feel the burden for passing it on. We are both

on LDN and are SO appreciative for this amazing drug!

I believe, just as Dr. McCandless does, that ADHD is on the spectrum but cannot

find any empirical evidence of this. I have read all of the research that I can

get my hands on but have not been able to find any obvious genetic links or

fMRI's with identical patterns (btwn ADD and ASD). We have a great ADD doctor

here in Seattle, but he does not see the link between ADD and ASD. For my own

purposes, as well as increasing awareness of this linkage, I would love to

understand how Dr. McCandless drew the conclusion in her practice and in her

research. I would also love to see any additional research that you believe

makes the case for the link.

Could you help?

Thanks! Rebekah
