- Abstract
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often have learning difficulties satisfying criteria for specific learning disorders (LDs) in addition to behavioral and/or emotional problems. Prevalence rates of LD have been reported at around 26% in children with ASD, and as high as 30-40% in children with ADHD. Learning difficulties can be a major factor underlying the behavioral and/or emotional problems in children with AD and/or ADHD, and because the problems may be alleviated by appropriate support for the learning difficulties, academic performance should be monitored to examine for possible LD comorbidity in such children, in addition to addressing the more prominent behavioral or emotional issues. A phonological processing deficit is considered the core deficit in the pathology of LD associated with ASD and/or ADHD, similar to the common types of LD. However, executive functioning and working memory are also disturbed in many cases, pointing to possible difference in the cognitive characteristics of LD when associated with ASD and/ or ADHD. Although educational support for children with LD with ASD and/or ADHD is much the same as that for LD alone, the characteristics of ASD and/or ADHD need to be taken into account. In this context, because inattention can largely impact improvement in learning, active pharmacological treatment for the ADHD is recommended in providing support for LDs in children with ADHD.
