So autism could be the new "hyperactive" diagnosis... fits with what I think about trends in medicine.

I guess it depends on how you interpret the data. When I see a co morbidity in the range of 1% to 4% for a disease that has a background rate of 1% in the population my reaction is that Autism and ADHD have no link of any kind. The comorbidity can be explained away simply by looking at the background rate.
BTW I think you intended this as a reply to a post but instead made it a top level post.
@amerika Probably because I deleted and redrafted it, your server probably had a ghost of the original it didnt clear from the cache
Weird. It shows up as a thread here:

I am unconvinced that autism, hyperactivity, ADHD, etc. are real diagnoses at all.
More likely catch-alls
