social problems w/ 7 yr old girl

Hi there, I have a daughter, 7, that we are just realizing has ADHD. My main concern is that she is isolating herself socially and has a difficult time maintaining friendships. Because my older son has Aspergers and really struggles socially, I never understood or realized that social problems went with ADHD. This is the hardest part for me, to see my kids without friends. Is social struggles a common symptom of ADHD. What do you do about it? Thanks, Hattie
