简要总结
The primary objective of this study is to compare the number of driving errors made by novice adolescents (0-5 hours of driving instruction) with ASD to those made by neurotypical adolescents during a standardized driving simulator assessment. The secondary objectives of the study are to:
- Compare the visual strategies used by adolescents with ASD to those of neurotypical adolescents during a driving assessment on a simulator.
- Compare the types of errors and driving performance (i.e., speed, reaction time, following distance, and braking distance) of adolescents with ASD to those of neurotypical adolescents during the driving simulator assessment.
- Compare the driving performance of these two groups during a real-world road assessment using the TRIP scale.
- Examine the consistency between driving performance measured in the simulator and that observed in real-world conditions for both groups.
- Compare the anxiety levels of these two groups during driving tests on the simulator and on the road.

研究组 & 干预措施
Neurotypical group
Once enrolled, each participant will undergo an assessment of executive functions and attention (conducted by a neuropsychologist, lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes) using the following tests:
- Attention Assessment Test (TAP),
- Trail Making Test (TMT), which assesses mental flexibility,
- Stroop Selective Attention Test, assessing the ability to inhibit automatic processes,
- Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WSCT-modified), assessing abstract reasoning and the ability to change cognitive strategies in response to changes in the environment.
Each adolescent will then undergo two driving assessments: one on a driving simulator and one on the road in a dual-control vehicle with a driving instructor.
