Instructions
Mrs. Rivera, your neighbor and friend, often confides in you regarding her 6-year-old step son Cody’s behavioral and academic challenges. She told you that he was previously diagnosed with ADHD and ASD by his pediatrician.
You have learned about the similarities and differences between ADHD and ASD and want to share what you have learned with Mrs. Rivera when she visits next week. You are also excited to have explored the historical foundations of each disorder, and would like to share that as well.
For this assignment, prepare a handout for Mrs. Rivera that briefly describes the historical backgrounds of both diagnoses. Then, create a diagram, chart, drawing, or other self-created graphic that can demonstrate to her the differences and similarities of both disorders in terms of their associated symptom presentations. Summarize that diagram to help her understand the distinctions between ADHD and ASD.
Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included.
Length: 5-7 pages, including the graphic creation, but not including title and reference pages
