Attentional Processes in Autism.
Goldstein, Gerald; Johnson, Cynthia R.; Minshew, Nancy J.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v31 n4 p433-40 Aug 2001
Attention processes in 103 children and adults with high functioning autism were compared with a matched control group using a battery of attention measures. Differences were found only on tasks which placed demands on cognitive flexibility or psychomotor speed, suggesting that purported attention deficits in autism may actually be primary deficits in complex decision making or psychomotor abilities.
