Abstract in brief

  • The study examined whether symptoms like anxiety, depression, and pragmatic language problems differ among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, and nonverbal learning disability (NLD), and how these symptoms help in distinguishing these conditions.
  • Results showed that while symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pragmatic language issues are present in these disorders, they manifest differently across ASD, ADHD, and NLD; notably, pragmatic language problems were effective in differentiating these groups from typically developing children and between each other.
  • The findings suggest that paying attention to specific comorbid symptoms, especially pragmatic language difficulties, can improve the accuracy of diagnosing neurodevelopmental disorders.
