| Abstract | It exists a growing consensus about broad neurological abnormalities in people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and its genetic origin, which has its expression during the neural development. As a consequence, there have been identified several impairments in high order cognitive functions in this population. However the results remain inconsistent. Our research is aimed at the neuropsychological characterization of children with ASD. To that end, we assessed a sample of 18 children diagnosed of ASD with a broad neuropsychological test battery in order to evaluate attention and executive functioning. The results obtained by this experimental group were compared with a sample of 18 typically developing children. The results show a comprehensive impairment in attention and executive functioning in the ASD group, with the exception of verbal fluency with semantic clues, planning and cognitive flexibility. Further research is needed in order to clarify the origin of these results. |
