Abstract

Results from 45 parent respondents indicated a near-significant relationship between children with intellectual disability (ID) and comorbid autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF-2; Gioia et al., 2015) scale raw scores, emotional control scale and the behavioral regulation index. The manuscript raises an important message about the necessity to better understand the executive functioning and cognitive processes in children with ID, especially those children with comorbid ASD.
