Autism is associated with attention difficulties, which impacts individuals’ mental health and quality of life. Autism and ADHD frequently co-occur and share common antecedents of genetic origin related to difficulties with attentional control. Researchers found that children who have a plateauing of attentional control are likely, at age 3 years, to have elevated autism and ADHD traits and adaptive function difficulties; as are, to a lesser extent, children who exhibit a profile of low attentional control. Follow-up studies with children as they approach school age are necessary for understanding if the effects of early abnormalities in attentional control development will extend long-term.
