PASS Neurocognitive Assessment of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Otero, Tulio M.; Naglieri, Jack A.
Psychology in the Schools, v60 n2 p452-459 Feb 2023
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disability that can cause significant social, communication, and behavioral challenges yet it is defined and diagnosed by the absence or presence of behaviors described in, for example, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5. Descriptions of the disorder include symptoms such as intellectual impairment or a neurodevelopmental disorder. In this study, we examined the pattern of scores obtained for individuals with ASD in comparison to those with specific learning disability (SLD; reading decoding) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) across several traditional intelligence and neurocognitive tests. We anticipated, and found, that the profile for students with ASD (a specific weakness in attention) was observed and that pattern was different for the SLD and ADHD samples.
