You have become familiar with two separate, but related, bodies of research literature; those studies addressing the causes, components, and treatment strategies for ADHD and those addressing these same aspects of ASD. This week, you were introduced to the literature that bridges this gap, considering the comorbid existence of both disorders with an individual. Much more research is needed in this area.

For the assignment, prepare an annotated bibliography addressing the literature on comorbid ADHD and ASD. For each source you have located, provide the complete APA-formatted reference and a brief (approximately 150-word), but informative paragraph describing that source.

This assignment is designed to help you with the Signature Assignment you will complete next week. Therefore, be sure to include enough information to support you in those efforts. If the source is conceptual or theoretical, what were the main points the authors were making? If the reference describes a research study, include a brief synopsis of the hypothesis, research methods, findings, and conclusions in your annotation.

References: Include a minimum of EIGHT scholarly resources within your annotated bibliography.

Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
