“…The results revealed significant differences between the groups in the number of mistakes made while driving the simulator in both scenarios. These findings align with previous studies that have examined the simulator-driving abilities of adolescents with non-complex ADHD (Bednarz et al, 2023; Ratzon et al, 2017; Yuval-Greenberg et al, 2019). Previous research has indicated that adolescents with ADHD tend to exhibit higher rates of traffic accidents, traffic violations, and difficulties in maintaining lane position (Narad et al, 2018).…”

Objective: To examines the driving skills, executive functions, and adaptive behavior of adolescents diagnosed with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) combined with emotional difficulties and/or learning disabilities (complex ADHD), compared to adolescents without ADHD. Method: A cross-sectional study including 30 adolescents with complex ADHD and 33 adolescents without ADHD aged 15 to 18 years. Driving skills on a simulator, executive functions, and adaptive behavior were evaluated. Results: Adolescents without ADHD demonstrated significantly higher total scores on the driving simulator, indicating better driving performance compared to adolescents with complex ADHD. In the complex ADHD group, after controlling for different Conners Comprehensive Behavior Rating Scale-Self Report scales, driving simulator scores were partially correlated with executive functions. Conclusion: These findings emphasize the unique needs of adolescents with complex ADHD. Given the significance of driving in today’s society, it is crucial to consider the development of intervention programs to support this population’s driving skills.

“…En el terreno neuropsicológico, explicaciones cognitivas sitúan el origen de las dificultades sociales y no sociales características de estos dos trastornos en los déficits en las funciones ejecutivas (FE) (Bednarz et al, 2022;Lawson et al, 2015;Miranda-Casas et al, 2016;Truedsson et al, 2020), entendidas éstas como habilidades implicadas en procesos que permiten gestionar y regular la propia conducta, como la atención, la planificación, la flexibilidad cognitiva, el control inhibitorio y la memoria de trabajo (MT). En el caso de la población TEA, esto se traduce en problemas para la vida diaria, como aceptar que las situaciones pueden cambiar y precisar una actuación diferente a lo previamente establecido, y por ello generar reacciones exageradas con baja posibilidad de control, generando altos niveles de ansiedad.…”

Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are frequent neurodevelopmental disorders, characterized by deficiencies in theory of mind and executive functions (EF), which interfere with individuals' daily functioning. With the publication of the DSM-5 manual in 2013, the comorbid diagnosis of ASD and ADHD has been accepted, which leads to a more complex prognosis. The purpose of this paper is to review the published studies on EF in the comorbidity of these disorders. Method: The method used to carry out this review followed the PRISMA guidelines. The final sample comprised 12 articles, with an average of 35 participants who had ASD and ADHD. Results: The results show a greater symptomatologic complexity in patients with these comorbid disorders and a lack of conclusive results. Conclusions: The lack of conclusive results in the research and in the articles found suggests the need for further research in this field.Antecedentes: El Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) y el Trastorno por Déficit de Atención con Hiperactividad (TDAH) son trastornos frecuentes del neurodesarrollo, caracterizados por deficiencias en la teoría de la mente y las funciones ejecutivas (FE), los cuales interfieren en su funcionamiento diario. Con la publicación del manual DSM-5 en 2013, se ha aceptado el diagnóstico comórbido del TEA y del TDAH, lo que conlleva un pronóstico más complejo. El propósito del presente trabajo es revisar los estudios publicados sobre FE en la comorbilidad de estos trastornos. Método: El método utilizado para la realización de esta revisión ha seguido las directrices PRISMA. La muestra final fue de 12 artículos, con una media de 35 participantes que presentaban TEA y TDAH. Resultados: Los resultados arrojan una mayor complejidad sintomatológica en los pacientes con estos trastornos comórbidos y una escasez de resultados concluyentes. Conclusiones: La escasez de resultados en la búsqueda y de los artículos encontrados, sugiere la necesidad de una mayor investigación en este campo.

“…For the functional features, both of ADHD and ASD displayed the hypoactivation of right anterior insula during the motor response inhibition task [9].When performing the task of theory of mind (ToM), the individuals with dual diagnosis of ASD and ADHD showed the combined functional abnormalities in each condition, including the ASD-related decreased connectivity between right inferior lateral prefrontal and posterior cingulate cortex, and the ADHD-related decreased connectivity between the medial prefrontal and left temporoparietal cortices [10]. Higher activity of bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and posterior parietal cortex was involved in the faster reaction time to social hazards in ADHD, not in ASD [11]. These shared brain features involved both in ADHD and ASD might help us to understand the ATs in children with ADHD.…”

Object: Autistic traits (ATs) were frequently reported in children with attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD). This study aimed to examine ATs in children with ADHD from both behavioral and neuroimaging aspects. Method: The Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire was used to assess and define subjects with and without ATs. For the behavioral analyses, 67 ADHD children with ATs (ADHD+ATs), 105 ADHD children without ATs (ADHD-ATs), and 44 typically developing controls (CONs) were recruited. The resting-state functional MRI data were collected and the mean ALFF (mALFF) values were analyzed in a subsample. The ‘brain-behavior’ relationship was explored to illustrate the potential shared and distinct imaging features for ATs and ADHD symptoms. Result:Compared to ADHD-ATs, the ADHD+ATs group showed higher ATs and hyperactivity/impulsivity. Partial correlation analysis indicated hyperactive/impulsive significantly positively correlated with all aspects of ATs in ADHD. Imaging analyses indicated that mALFF values in left middle occipital gyrus (MOG), left parietal lobe (PL)/precuneus and left middle temporal gyrus (MTG) might be specifically related to ADHD, while that of right MTG might be more closely related to ATs. Meanwhile, the altered mALFF in right PL/precuneus was correlated with both ADHD and ATs, whereas with diverse direction. Conclusion:The co-occurrence of ATs in children with ADHD indicated different behavioral characteristics and potentially specific brain functional alterations. The assessment of ATs in children with ADHD could help us to understand the heterogeneity of ADHD, and further improve the exploration of its pathogenesis and promote clinical intervention.
