Core Tip	Both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show deficits in social information-processing, but their nature and origins are different. While both disorders exhibit a common outcome of social impairment, the exact pathways that each disorder traverses along the social information-processing steps are different. For ASD, there is a social knowledge/behaviour deficit arising from difficulties in social/emotional cue detection, encoding, and interpretation, which lead to problems in joining and initiating social interaction. For ADHD, there is a performance deficit incurred by disruption arising from the ADHD symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity. The inattentive, intrusive, and impulsive behaviours of ADHD unsettle social interaction.
