One of the interesting things you run into as a special ed teacher is the discovery that in certain cases, kids with ASD, ADHD, learning disabilities and emotional disturbances can have overlapping issues. Now the way you address these issues might differ between the kid on the autistic spectrum and the ADHD kid, but the issues are very similar, especially with regard to executive function, social awareness, and perspective-taking.
