This is not made up AT ALL. His phycologist is not only great but has personal experiance with a child with just Asperger's and ADHD. And I believe the statistic is somewhere around 70% of ADHD children have a co-existing dissability. If you are just going to be rude and make comments about a VERY SERIOUS issue then don't answer.
Answers:
Its quite common for aspies to also have other ailments at the same time. Things like ADHD, dyslexia, depression, and bipolar are quite common. Aspies can have all, none or any combination. They are treated as separate illnesses though. There is no drug treatment for aspergers or dyslexia but there are drugs for the others that can help.
