ADHD and autism can look similar, but they’re not the same.

ADHD affects attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity. Autism affects social communication and often involves repetitive behaviors.

They can overlap—sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation struggles, and challenges with transitions—but the differences matter.

Proper assessment matters because strategies that help ADHD may not work for autism. The right diagnosis leads to the right support.
