All Ritual Summons are considered a Special Summon. However, not all Special Summons are considered a Ritual Summon. A Ritual Summon can only be performed with a Ritual Spell Card and a Ritual Monster. A Special Summon refers to any monster that is placed on the field in a way that is not a Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Set.
Also, Ritual Summons are never considered a Normal Summon.

Can a normal summoned monster attack in the same turn that you also special summon a different monster?
Yes of course. Special summoning never affects what can attack or not, unless specifically stated otherwise. You could normal summon and special summon a monster in main phase 1 and attack with both.
How do you Special Summon in Yu-Gi-Oh?
A "Special Summon" refers to a Summon that is performed through the effect of a card. Special Summoning is not a game mechanic, but more so a generalization of any method of Summoning that is not a Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Set. Special Summons do not count towards the one Normal Summon/Set per turn rule and can be performed as many times as a player prefers in one turn.There are three methods to Special Summoning (Note that a Special Summoned card that does not fall under any of the following categories, such as with the effect of Call of the Haunted, is merely considered a Special Summon):Fusion Summon - This Special Summon is performed upon the effect of Polymerization (unless otherwise indicated by the Fusion Monster). For more information regarding Fusion Summons, click on the corresponding "Related Link" below.Ritual Summon - This Special Summon is performed upon the effect of a Ritual Spell Card and its corresponding Ritual Monster. For more information regarding Ritual Summons, click on the corresponding "Related Link" below.Synchro Summon - This Special Summon is similar to a Contact Fusion and can only be performed with Tuner Monsters. For more information regarding Synchro Summons, click on the corresponding "Related Link" below.Exeed Summon - This Special summon is a new way to summon that people in japan can already use. Exeed summoning is performed by placing two monsters with the same level on top of each other and then you can summon an Exeed monster with the same rank as one of the monsters level. EX: I place a level four monster like ax raider on another card with the same level like maurauding captain and I place the Exeed monster which is rank four on top of both cards.For more information on Special Summoning, click on the "Special Summon" "Related Link" below.
Is a ritual summon considered a special summon?
No, Ritual Monsters are 'special summon only' monsters, the only way they can initially reach the field is by Ritual Summon through an appropriate spell card, or by a card that specifically allows you to ignore this, like Ritual Foregone.
Is special summon the same as normal summon?
no, special summons are NOT the same as normal summons. special summons require a special card or effect to happen, cards such as monster reborn or return from the different dimension. normal summons are just when you directly play a monster from your hand without any other additional card effects
In ritual summoning can you use a higher level monster to summon a lower level ritual monster?
Yes, mostly. Keep a close eye on the Ritual Card. If you look at Black Illusion Ritual, you can send a monster with one star or more, so any monster will do. The same goes for almost all the other cards who summon one specific monster, you can 'overpay' to some extent. So you could send a Blue-Eyes White Dragon for Black Illlusion Ritual, but not two Blue-Eyes. If you look at a Ritual Spell card which can summon more than one kind of Ritual Monster though, like 'End of the World', and 'Contract with the Abyss', these say you must send monsters with an Equal sum of levels. You could not use a Lv10 monster for summoning Demise or Ruin with the first, and if you wanted to summon Relinquished with the second, you could only do it with a Lv1 monster.
Why is rousing and summoning a synonym?

Yes, unless the card itself or another card on the field says so, a monster can attack on the same turn it was Normal or Special Summoned.
Can you l special summon and normal summon on the same turn?
You are allowed one Normal Summon per turn, and as many Special Summons as you have the resources to perform them.
Can flute of summoning dragon summon rainbow dragon?
Cards that can 'only be Special Summoned by', or 'cannot be Special Summoned except by' can only ever reach the field initially by that listed method.Flute of Summoning Dragon can never summon Rainbow Dragon. Even if the conditions are right, that's something that allows you to special summon it (at the same timing as a Normal Summon in your turn), not any external effect.Cards that state "...can only be Special Summoned by..." can be Special Summoned, for example, from the Graveyard after its initial Special Summon (by its own effect) is successful. For example, you Special Summon The Rock Spirit from your Hand by removing from play one Rock-Type monster in your Graveyard. Your opponent then somehow manages to destroy The Rock Spirit. Because it was successfully Special Summoned by its own effect, The Rock Spirit is now eligible to be Special Summoned from the Graveyard via a effect such as Call of the Haunted.
Can you tribute a monster on the same turn you played it in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Yes, there is nothing inherently within the tributing or summoning rules which would stop you from tributing a monster you summoned the same turn you summoned it. Obviously, due to the regular summon rules, you can not Tribute Summon the monster you just Normal Summoned on the same turn; it would count as two Normal Summons. But if the first summon was a Special Summon, you had used "Double Summon", or wanted to tribute it for an effect like "Enemy Controller", then it's totally fine to tribute that monster for them.
How do you beat all three Sacred Beasts and Victory Dragon in the same deck?
(First of all this is a very peculiar deck setup, but) A deck using all three Sacred Beasts and "Victory Dragon" would mostly rely on Special Summoning. Cards that stop Special Summoning, like "Vanity's Fiend", "Vanity's Ruler", "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo", "Thunder King Rai-Oh", etc., should be used.
Can you synchro summon and normal summon in the same turn?
Yes, you can, as a Synchro Summon is a special summon, you can perform a Normal Summon on the same turn as one or more Synchro Summons.
