The two conditions aren't comparable. ADD and Autism effects people differently but there are some symptoms that both conditions share such as Executive Dysfunction. How severely someone is effected can vary greatly from person to person and depending on their situation.

Is autism bad?

It depends on your definition of bad. For example, if being different is bad, autism is bad. If viewing the world in a different way, perhaps noticing things that other people have missed, is good, autism is good. There are characteristics of autism that make life more difficult for the person with autism and his or her family. There are characteristics that other people might envy, such as excellent memories. Whether or not autism is bad is a subjective view. You can get opinions, but not definitive answers to that question.

None of the above. Autism is not good, it's not bad, it just is - being Autistic is thus not good or bad either. Being Autistic (we do not 'have' autism) depends on the individual, some people have more severe symptoms than others and some face more prejudice or abuse than others. It's just like being neurotypical - not good, not bad, it just is.

What are symptoms of ADD or Autism?

People with autism can also have ADD. Sometimes, one condition is misdiagnosed as the other. But, the two conditions are not related disorders. Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder. ADD is a neurobiological disorder related to the brain chemical dopamine. Here is an incomplete list of symptoms that might appear in either a child with autism or a child with ADD, but these symptoms will not appear in every child with either autism or ADD: - forgetfulness or short-term memory issues - talking excessively - social errors such as not waiting one's turn or interrupting - inability to focus on topics that are not primary areas of interest - fidgeting or stimming - easily distracted - considered disruptive
