In spite of its importance for education, the relationship between learning behaviors (LB),
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms (ADHD) and executive functioning (EF) in
children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has hardly been explored. The first objective
of the present study was to compare children with ASD without intellectual disability and children with typical development (TD) on ADHD symptoms and learning behaviors: Motivation/
competence, attitude toward learning, persistence on the task, and strategy/flexibility. The
second objective was to analyze the mediator role of behavioral regulation and metacognition components of EF between ADHD symptoms and learning behaviors in children with
ASD. Participants were 89 children between 7 and 11 years old, 52 with ASD and 37 with
TD, matched on age and intelligence. Their teachers filled out questionnaires assessing
executive functioning as well as learning behaviors. Parents and teachers reported on inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity behaviors. Compared to children with TD, children with
ASD presented significantly more ADHD symptoms and poorer learning behaviors. In addition, there were significant mediation effects of the behavioral regulation index (BRI) and
metacognition index (MI) of EF, indicating that both are part of the route through which
ADHD symptoms impact to learning behaviors of children with ASD. [-]
