Implication

This review shows how ASD and ADHD severity affects executive functioning in children, suggesting tailored interventions for distinct vulnerabilities.

Key Points

  • ASD severity correlates with significant deficits in spatial working memory and cognitive flexibility.
  • ADHD severity, especially hyperactivity-impulsivity, exacerbates challenges in inhibitory control.
  • Methodological limitations include inadequate longitudinal data and concerns about assessment ecological validity.
  • Findings promote tailored assessments and interventions to address unique executive function challenges.
