bigUC: ...symptoms between ADHD and Autism/Asperger are vastly different.

 Of course they are - considering that Autism is a real disorder while ADHD is just the term describing behavioral symptoms of a perfectly natural (unmedicated) boyhood.

:D  Well, some of ADHD are probably legitimate cases.

 But all of the cases of that I saw were description of my childhood to the smallest detail.
 I was lucky not being raised here - I could have been medicated to the gills.

 Only in my last two grades in school did I go from straight "C" to straight "A" and then two perfect G.P.A.s in two masters degrees.

 Do you know what percentage of US kids are currently diagnosed with AD and ADHD and medicated? Do you know that school administrators rather than doctors or parents now make decisions concerning the need to medicate children as a condition of admitting them to school?
