Intelligence and executive functioning in adolescence: comparing autism spectrum disorder and typical development
Intelligence-especially perceptual reasoning-plays a key role in EF outcomes in adolescents with and without ASD. High IQ may buffer EF difficulties in ASD-WID, whereas lower IQ is linked to greater executive control difficulties. These findings highlight the need for assessment and interventions tailored to individual cognitive profiles, rather than diagnostic status alone.
