There are many points of overlap between autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, making the differential diagnosis a difficult endeavor. The goal of this workshop is to help provide clarity, tools, and guidance on making the differential diagnosis. The workshop will provide an overview of where the two diagnoses intersect and deviate, keeping in mind developmental differences over the lifespan and other diagnoses that should be considered in the differential decision.
