Description
This study examines the relation between executive functions (EF) and internalizing and externalizing behaviors (IB, EB) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); a population for whom these aspects of life and development are often impacted. We explored aspects of EF believed to contribute to a child’s emotional and behavioral regulation (ER, BR), and possible interactions with ASD symptoms that may impact the presentation of IB and EB. Our results indicate correlations between ASD symptoms and all other variables, but did not support an interaction between either ER nor BR and ASD symptoms as a predictor of IB or EB.
