Brain study reveals hidden link between autism and ADHD Scientists are uncovering a surprising connection between autism and ADHD that goes deeper than labels.

The study found that certain brain networks tied to thinking and social behavior stay unusually connected in kids with stronger autism symptoms, hinting at a different developmental path.
