Abstract
This study investigated the effect of mainstreaming children with autism in normal population on reduced ADHD behavior. Using a quasi-experimental design approach, the researcher applied the study on a sample consisted of 60 students assigned to experimental (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. The study instruments were tested for reliability and validity and used to collect date for analysis. Findings showed differences between the experimental and control groups on posttest measurement with differences being in favor of the experimental group. Similarly, results revealed differences between pretest and posttest for both groups in terms of reduction of ADHD behavior in favor of the posttest measurement. As for the effect of mainstreaming children with autism in normal classes on reduced ADHD symptoms, results showed differences by group (.001), in favor of the experimental group, compared with no differences in reduced ADHD symptoms on the pretest (.603) implying equivalence of both groups on the pretest measurement.
