Many of the symptoms overlap between the two conditions and a person may develop both conditions.Although the exact cause of these neurodevelopmental disorders is not known, it is believed to be due to a combination of genetics and several other factors such as parental use of alcohol and tobacco, premature delivery, low birth weight and environmental risks such as exposure to lead.&quot;While long periods of screen time in childhood have been suggested to be a cause of ASD\/ADHD, the results of this study suggest that some people may have a genetic disposition to use screens because of ASD,&quot; said lead researcher Dr. Nagahide Takahashi in a news release.According to the study, children with a genetic predisposition to ASD are inclined to spend longer time on screens, more than three to four hours from early childhood. Children with ADHD are likely to increase their screen time as they age, even if their initial screen use was for a limited period.To determine the genetic susceptibility to ASD and ADHD, theresearchers examined 6.5 million polymorphisms in 437 children.
