This chapter delves into the neuropsychological profile of individuals with ASD, examining key cognitive domains such as executive functioning, social cognition, emotional regulation, and sensory integration. By exploring how these cognitive and behavioral dimensions manifest uniquely in ASD, the chapter highlights the neurobiological and neurocognitive mechanisms that contribute to the disorders heterogeneity. We also discuss the impact of cognitive deficits on adaptive behavior, learning, and daily functioning, emphasizing how individual differences shape developmental outcomes. Current research findings and clinical observations are integrated to provide a nuanced understanding of the diverse neuropsychological patterns in ASD. This chapter aims to equip clinicians and researchers into the cognitive profiles of ASD. 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
