Voluntary saccades in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: Looking into the relationship between motor impairment and Autism Spectrum Disorder symptoms

Highlights • Participants with ADHD-CT had hypermetric saccades and main sequence alterations. • Pattern of saccade deficits is consistent with cerebellar dysfunction in ADHD-CT. • ADHD-CT and ASD symptoms were associated with greater ocular motor impairment. • Results are preliminary and further re...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Participants with ADHD-CT had hypermetric saccades and main sequence alterations. • Pattern of saccade deficits is consistent with cerebellar dysfunction in ADHD-CT. • ADHD-CT and ASD symptoms were associated with greater ocular motor impairment. • Results are preliminary and further research with larger sample sizes is needed.
