Is it Asperger's or ADHD?

Patient's question:

6-year-old boy is particularly reluctant to ask questions, very talkative, and loves to interact with strangers, both adults and children, as if he knows them. However, he is very self-centered, and when he answers, you cannot stop him. His temper is very irritable, and he has habitual physical movements. If you correct one of these actions, he will gradually develop another one. His attention is usually quite focused when doing things, but it becomes easy to lose focus during tutoring sessions. He is easily distracted by other sounds and even talks to classmates during tutoring. Is it Asperger's syndrome or ADHD?

Doctor's answer:

From the above situation, it has already been speculated that a six-year-old child exhibits talkativeness and emotional instability, and is prone to experiencing emotional guilt and outbursts. If their social skills cannot surpass a good level of self-control and they exhibit stereotyped behaviors, it is personally speculated that they may concurrently meet the criteria for Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD. Additionally, during the treatment of ADHD patients, their dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must supplement vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
