Abstract

<p>Often it is difficult to collect sufficient information about developmental history when adults with neurodevelopmental disorders are diagnosed. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to discriminate between neurodevelopmental disorders and schizophrenia with a cross-sectional evaluation. Each autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder may coexist with schizophrenia. Thus, in clinical practice, first, attempts to discriminate between neurodevelopmental disorders and schizophrenia should be made, and secondly there should be diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorder comorbid with schizophrenia. Assessments by the Japanese Adult Reading Test and the Rorschach test likely be useful methods for helping to discriminate between autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. We likely evaluate the attention function of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and schizophrenia objectively by event-related potentials. Diagnose with objective assessment tools is required for good treatment and support. Moreover, it is necessary to accumulate more evidence in various research areas and evaluate each patient carefully in clinical practice. </p>
