Research Review: Executive function profiles of preschool children with autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: A systematic review
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are both associated with differences in Executive Functioning (EF). There is lack of clarity around the specificity or overlap of EF differences in early childhood when both disorders are first emerging. This systematic review aims to delineate preschool EF profiles by examining studies comparing the EF profiles of children with and without ASD or ADHD. Marina Christoforou et al.

Editorial Perspective: When to start de-implementation of interventions: the case of cognitive training for children with ADHD
Open Access paper from the JCPP – “The picture is clear that the large majority of the cognitive training paradigms that are currently being distributed commercially for children with ADHD on a large scale are not backed-up by a sufficient evidence base. This does not suggest that further treatment development research is not warranted as we believe that this line of research may one day lead to effective treatments.” Tycho J. Dekkers (pic) and Saskia van der Oord

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and white matter microstructure: The importance of dimensional analyses and sex differences
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – “Attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD) has substantial heterogeneity in clinical presentation. A potentially important clue may be variation in brain microstructure. Using fractional anisotropy (FA), previous studies have produced equivocal results in relation to ADHD. This may be due to insufficient consideration of possible sex differences and ADHD’s multi-componential nature”. Scott A. Jones et al.
