This study investigated the communication skills of children with autism spectrum disorders (H. M. Geurts & M. Embrechts), Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (Hilde M Geurts & Mariëtte Embrechts), and learning disability (H. M. Geurts & M. Embrechts) using the Children Communication Checklist to identify any commonalities in communication profile among these conditions. Participants were 60 children with age ranges of 6.0-9.11 years (Mean = 8.2, SD = 1.21) that assigned equally into three groups: ASD, ADHD, and LD. All children were diagnosed by psychiatric according to DSM-V criteria. The differences among groups were significant on the Syntax, Coherence, Context, Rapport, Social and Interests. There were no significant differences between ADHD and LD groups on general communication measures and pragmatic composite. These findings revealed a very different picture and suggested more differences than similarities among children with ADHD, ASD, and LD.
