If you could point me to a free copy in German, I could try to translate. I wondered about this, but look what I found?

Hallo Bolli!

Zitat:
Sie meinte, dass das Asperger-Syndrom oft mit AD(H)S verwechselt wird.


Nicht nur oft, sondern fast immer. Die meisten der Kinder in der Asperger-Eltern-Mailingliste haben zuerst die Diganose AD(H)S bekommen, weil sich viele Verhaltensweisen ähneln. Bei Uli war es auch im Gespräch.
Das ist auch der Grund, warum so viele Asperger erst sehr spät diagnostiziert werden. Das älteste "Kind" in der Mailingliste bekam die Diagnose mit 26.

That means:

You Know, Asperger-Syndrome is often confused with AD(H)D.


Not just often, rather almost always. Most of the kids in the parents of aspergers children mailing lists first got the diagnosis of AD(H)D, because many symptoms are similar. With Uli it was also in the speech. That is also the reason why so many Asperger people are diagnosed very late. The oldest "child" in the mailinglists got diagnosed at 26 years of age.

Friendly Greetings

I KNOW most AD[H]D people AREN'T AS, but it DOES make you wonder! HOW MANY are simply misdiagnosed.
