Question: Hi! First of all, thank you for your time today.
  
  What do you think about the theories that argue that ADHD is part of, or a particular manifestation of the Autistic spectrum? I personally don't know what to think, but I am very much fascinated by the topic.
Answer: Those theories have no basis in data.   We do know that the two disorders co-occur and share some genetic and environmental risk factors but one is not a manifestation of the other.
