RICO-MORENO, Jennifer  e  TARRAGA-MINGUEZ, Raúl. ASD and ADHD comorbidity: a systematic review of advances in research. Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.3, pp.810-819. ISSN 1695-2294.  https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.32.3.217031.

The recent publication of DSM-5, introduces as novelty to accept the comorbidity between the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This article reviews previous researches that have studied this comorbidity. A total of 28 investigations were reviewed, establishing 4 different themes. The research shows variable ASD and ADHD comorbidity rates depending on the age and origin of the samples, as well as the diagnostic criteria used. When ASD and ADHD comorbidity occurs, the autistic symptomatology and the externalizing and internalizing disorders increase. However, this does not seem to have a relation with a worsening of the parental stress or the quality of family life.
