The role of linguistic and cognitive factors in emotion recognition difficulties in children with ASD, ADHD or DLD.

CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Children with ASD, ADHD or DLD showed very similar emotion recognition skills and were also found to be significantly delayed in their development of these skills. Some predictive factors related to linguistic and cognitive skills were found for these difficulties. Information about impaired emotion recognition and underlying linguistic and cognitive skills helps to select intervention procedures. Without this information, therapy might unnecessarily focus on only symptoms. PMID: 31797474 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
