Little is known about age-related cognitive differences in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, given the overlap in cognitive impairments in ASD to those seen in typical aging, it is possible that adults with ASD will face even greater cognitive difficulties as they age. The current study used a cross-sectional design to examine age-related cognitive differences in adults with ASD and age and IQ-matched adults with typical development (age range 30-67 years). Results indicated that both age and diagnosis were related to poorer cognitive performance. However, adults with ASD exhibited pronounced age effects on measures related to executive functioning compared to adults with typical development, suggesting that aging in ASD may disproportionately affect specific cognitive processes.
关于自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）中与年龄相关的认知差异知之甚少。然而，鉴于 ASD 中的认知障碍与典型衰老中所见的认知障碍重叠，因此 ASD 患者随着年龄的增长可能会面临更大的认知困难。本研究采用横断面设计，检查了 ASD 成人和年龄和智商匹配的典型发育成人（年龄范围 30-67 岁）的与年龄相关的认知差异。结果表明，年龄和诊断都与较差的认知表现有关。然而，与典型发育成人相比，ASD 成人在与执行功能相关的测量中表现出明显的年龄效应，这表明 ASD 中的衰老可能不成比例地影响特定的认知过程。
