Executive functioning (EF) is an overarching term that encompasses a wide range of neuropsychological processes including inhibition, set shifting, cognitive flexibility, organization, planning, self-monitoring, working memory, following rules, emotional control, and self-regulation that enable physical, cognitive, and emotional self-control. There is a wealth of evidence to suggest EF ability is linked to several salient life skills for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) like social skills, self-regulation, organization, and time management. Given the broad definition of EF, it is important to understand EF as experienced by individuals with ASD in the context of their experience at school and during interactions at home and community. Are we measuring a construct relevant for individuals with ASD to function appropriately and successfully in their day to day lives?
