It's just an excuse for lazy parents not to raise their kids. aleiram51 Posted at 9:13 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 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 fantazia Posted at 9:13 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 ADHD ppl are hyper,  autism ppl can be hyper too? MixedDelight Posted at 9:12 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 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. bubble girl2 Posted at 9:12 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 Quote: from Skip at 9:09 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 one is characterized by hyperactivity and the other is not wrong:  a.d.h.d. is hyperactivity.  a.d.d. is just attention deficit disorder lexbaby Posted at 9:11 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 no i have a.d.d which is nothing like autism totally different thing  u should no that Most recent 15 of 20 previous replies displayed.
