http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditions ... _disorders

The Wikipedia article above summarizes various illnesses commonly associated with autism spectrum disorder. At the bottom of this article,various research papers that could be of interest are cited.

Pychiatric comorbidities and pharmological treatment has gained interest in recent years, so I thought that the article would be of interest to some of you.

Thanks. I think our son has ADD as well as his currently diagnosed ASD. For instance he has a school ball tomorrow night and has made a good fancy dress, and is extremely antsy, running backward and forward in the house this evening, which seems much more symptomatic of ADD than ASD to me.
