Özet
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by social communication challenges and restricted, repetitive behaviors and interests. These difficulties manifest in diverse ways, with some individuals being nonverbal and requiring significant support, while others are highly articulate and function independently. ASD is understood as a genetically based disorder with a complex, heterogeneous nature, making the study of cognitive differences in ASD particularly challenging. This chapter explores four primary theories explaining cognitive differences in ASD: Theory of Mind, Weak Central Coherence, Executive Dysfunction, and Social Motivation. We will also examine executive function (EF), social cognition, intelligence, attention, perception, and language. This chapter concludes with a discussion of research limitations and future directions. © The Author(s).
