Autistic people have minds of someone a few years younger than them. A twelve year old autistic boy would do things that an eight year old would do.

Something like that.

wrong:  a.d.h.d. is hyperactivity.  a.d.d. is just attention deficit disorder

They're completely different. ADD basically means you have trouble in social situation and have difficulty learning as quickly as other or you experience unexplained hyper activity. It's not easily noticeable from the outside.

Autism is a mental retardation that is blatant and hard to miss.

okay.
so autism is a dysfunction which is characterized by having learning and social disabilities.  also, it can come with motor function disabilities and autistic kids also tend to "space out"

add is characterized by having trouble focusing and having low impulse control

adhd is like add but with more energy added in.
kids with adhd tend to be good athletes though :D

ADD Doesn't exist. It's just an excuse for lazy parents not to raise their kids.
