How specific is a deficit of executive functioning for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder?
TL;DR: There are strong differences between child psychopathological groups and controls on these EFs, however, future research will be needed to identify an EF deficit or profile, which is specific for these disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
How specific are executive functioning deficits in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify intact and deficient cognitive processes in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and children with high functioning autism (HFA) and find that children with HFA exhibit more generalised and profound problems with EF tasks compared to children with ADHD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shared heritability of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder
TL;DR: It is proposed that future studies examining shared familial etiological factors for ADHD and ASD use a family-based design in which the same phenotypic (ADHD and ASD), candidate endophenotypic, and environmental measurements are obtained from all family members.
Journal ArticleDOI
The paradox of cognitive flexibility in autism
TL;DR: Based on recent studies at multiple sites, using diverse methods and participants of different autism subtypes, ages and cognitive levels, no consistent evidence for cognitive flexibility deficits was found.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on cognitive and brain endophenotypes that may be common in autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and facilitate the search for pleiotropic genes
TL;DR: The hitherto rather separate research fields of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are brought together, and by contrasting and combining findings of the endophenotypes of ASD and ADHD new insights can be gained into the etiology and pathophysiology of these two disorders.
