“…Social maladjustment has been generally associated with a deficit in social cognition, notably in ToM ( Charman and Campbell, 1996 ; Jervis and Baker, 2004 ; Nader-Grosbois et al, 2013 ) and SIP ( Baurain and Nader-Grosbois, 2012 ). Children in the first cluster also tended to present more internalizing problems, even at a clinical level: a number of studies have observed the presence of behavioral problems in children with IDs ( Dekker et al, 2002 ; Baker et al, 2003 ; Dekker and Koot, 2003 ; Emerson, 2003 ; Nader-Grosbois et al, 2013 ; Bailey et al, 2019 ), notably internalizing problems ( Merrell and Holland, 1997 ; Guralnick, 1999 ). Some studies have also reported a link between internalizing problems and a deficit in social cognition ( van Nieuwenhuijzen et al, 2004 ; Thirion-Marissiaux and Nader-Grosbois, 2008c ).…”
