i would think with the proper amount of experience with both disorders and the proper testing and time put into making sure the diagnosis is correct, Yes. ==== Updated: The answer, generally speaking, is yes. Using a combination of fact-finding techniques such as developmental history, applied behavioral analysis, home and school observations, and assessments (such as the Differential Scales of Social Maladjustment and Emotional Disturbance, Five-Factor Personality Inventory - Children, Behavioral Assessment System for Children- Second Edition, and WISC-IV), a rather clear diagnostic picture can emerge to differentiate the two; although please keep in mind that co-morbidity of ADD and Social Maladjustment can occur.
