Material and Method: This was a clinical based study. The authors used Childhood Autistic Rating scale (CARs) to evaluate the severity of autistic disorder. Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Teacher and Parent Rating Scale, Version IV (SNAP-IV) was used to measure attention deficit and hyperactive symptoms in children with autism. Results: Thirty (n = 30) children enrolled in this study. All participants displayed attention deficit symptoms and 18 participants demonstrated hyperactivity as well. Nonparametric correlation showed a high positive correlation (Spa = 0.90, p = 0.00) between the severity of autistic disorder and hyperactivity and not the attention deficit symptoms (Spa = 0.29, p = 0.16). Conclusion: The authors finding shows a high comorbid rate of attention deficit and hyperactive symptoms among the participants. 2018-09-04T04:27:34Z 2018-09-04T04:27:34Z 2011-02-01 Journal 01252208 01252208 2-s2.0-79952331588 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=79952331588&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/50272
