Article Synopsis
- The study explored how cognitive control deficits relate to schizotypal symptoms in high-functioning adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), aiming to find potential warning signs for developing schizophrenia-related issues.
- Researchers assessed cognitive control abilities—like response inhibition and mental flexibility—in 29 adolescents with ASD and compared them to 40 typically developing peers.
- Findings indicated that difficulties with response inhibition were closely linked to schizotypal symptoms in adolescents with ASD, suggesting that these problems may signify an increased risk for developing such symptoms.
