I have diagnoses of dyspraxia, ADHD and aspergers traits.
When I received my diagnosis of ADHD, the psychiatrist said I have aspergers tendencies. Has anyone heard of the term, aspergers tendencies ?
I was diagnosed with ADHd as a toddler, dysgraphia at age 5/6 and PDD-nos and social phobia at age 10/11. Those ages might be wrong I can't remember when things take place well. there is a huge amount of overlap between ASD and ADHD. I'd say that ADHD is a trait of autism than a co-morbid. it seems a large percentage have ADHD. IIRC, You used to not be able to be diagnosed with adhd if you had a diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Yes.
A runny nose and difficulty breathing are symptoms (“tendencies”) of allergies. But it could also be indicative of a cold, or several other things.
Observable behaviors such as avoiding eyes, toe walking, and seeming to misread social cues are autism symptoms, but could be explained by other conditions as well.
A diagnostician will often be careful with an initial diagnosis so that they have time to gather more evidence before giving a concretely worded diagnosis.
Some ADHD symptoms overlap with autism, so it could be that it’s not yet clear which condition is causing which issue.
[color=#0077aa] This is an excellent point. Autism is complex and can look like many other disorders.
