Yes you can use ATF as your Power steering fluid. Tho some brands have fluids specifically for power steering.

In my rig, the dexron III ATF fluid I use in my tranny is the same fluid specified for my power steering.

Just read your manual what specs your power steering requires and you'll be fine.

Check your manual. Most (but not all) vehicles require ATF in their PS systems.

it's normally safe to use atf is most power steering systems.
