Implication

Meta-analyses reveal low perceived executive function among individuals with high autistic traits, suggesting a disconnect from actual EF task performance.

Key Points

Higher autistic traits correlate with lower perceived executive function, but not with poorer performance on EF tasks.
Self-reported measures indicated significant negative associations between autistic traits and executive function ratings.
Meta-analyses found weak correlations between autistic traits and performance on behavioral tasks, indicating perceptual differences.
These findings highlight the need for addressing perceived EF challenges experienced by individuals with high autistic traits.
