ADHD and Dyslexia symptoms and diagonisis

“Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral condition characterized by patterns of hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity”.

“Dyslexia is a brain-based specific learning disability (LD). It affects a person’s language ability, making it difficult to learn to read, spell, decode, and recognize words”.

These two neuro developmental diseases are related to each other. Some factors which are common in ADHD and  dyslexia are 

Distraction: In both the disorders the patient easily gets distracted but the reasons may differ in these two diseases. In ADHD they get distracted due to lack of attention. On the other hand, dyslexia patients seem to be distracted in the time of reading, they could not focus easily. 

Fluency: In case of ADHD usually they left or skip the ending part because of the fast brain which runs for the next part. In Dyslexia they take a long time to pronounce each word and read it incorrectly.

Writing: In case of ADHD might have issues with organisation and proofreading. While dyslexia has a problem with spellings, grammar and organised ideas.
