Hello. My name is Larissa Amador and I'm a teacher in Puerto Rico. At the moment I'm back in school to get certified as a Special Ed. teacher and as part of the program I have to do an investigation and I decided to do it on children that share characteristics with ADHD and Autism. I believe that there is a strong connection between both. Is there any opportunity that someone can share with me some information? My email address is [email protected] Thank you.

I was told by our neuropsychologist at Kennedy Krieger's Center for Autism and Related Disorders (Baltimore, MD) that 70% of children with autism also experience ADHD-type behavior. There is a school of thought out there that says ADHD is on the autism spectrum. Personally I think it is the vaccines that have caused all the damage to these children (there's a study out now by the Geiers claiming a 1:6 rate of behavior issues in kids when the vaccine schedule grew to 20+ shots in the 90's) Sigh. -BJ
