Describe how you could tell an ADHD child and an autistic child apart from a child
without ADHD or autism.
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should at least include symptoms of ADHD (inattention, hyperactivity,
and impulsivity) and of autism (severe limitations in social interaction and communication). A
thorough answer will discuss how these symptoms manifest in social and academic difficulties
that persist into adulthood. An impressive answer will also emphasize the difference of a
"problem child" whose temperament is simply difficult.
