    Yes, there’s a massive co-morbidity between the two. Something like 50% chance to have ASD if you have ADHD iirc

      its the reverse; about half of people with ASD have ADHD.

      In the US at least the diagnosis rate of ASD is 2.7% and the rate of ADHD is 9.8%, if I recall the odds of having ASD if you have ADHD is approx 20%
