What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying social cognition profiles in children and adolescents aged 8 to 16 with neurodevelopmental disorders, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and multiple complex developmental disorder. The study aims to better understand social cognition, which plays a key role in development and social integration, but is often under-assessed in these patients due to a lack of validated tools. Participants will complete a multidimensional social cognition battery developed by the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department of Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital. This battery evaluates four key social cognition areas: emotion processing, social perception, theory of mind, and attributional style. Additional tasks assessing social cognition and executive function, as well as parent questionnaires, will also be administered. Children and adolescents will be recruited during diagnostic or follow-up visits at the hospital. Assessments include the social cognition battery, supplementary tests, and questionnaires for parents. Researchers will measure overall social cognition scores and scores by dimension, along with the influence of socio-demographic and cognitive factors. The study runs until April 2029 and involves no masking or randomization.
