“…Children diagnosed with ASD have shown poor self‐regulation skills compared with children with intellectual disability (Barnard‐Brak, Ivey‐Hatz, Kris Ward, and Wei, 2014) and children with other developmental challenges (Macari, Koller, Campbell, and Chawarska, 2017). Similarly, in a study with 193 students from Year 4‐6 of primary school, Pacheco, del Carmen Díez, and García (2015) found that children with ADHD exhibited poorer self‐regulation skills than typically developing children (as cited in Cardoso‐Moreno, Tomás‐Aragonés, and Rodríguez‐Ledo, 2015). The dysregulation of this skill has been associated with maladaptive behaviour in children with ASD (Berkovits, Eisenhower, and Blacher, 2017; Samson et al, 2015; Schuiringa, van Nieuwenhuijzen, Orobio de Castro, and Matthys, 2017).…”
