The social deficits associated with ASDs affect not only children’s social adjustment but also their academic performance. For example, in a recent study, Estes and colleagues reported that school-aged children with ASDs demonstrate significant discrepancies between their actual academic achievement and their potential level of academic achievement predicted from their overall intellectual ability (Estes, Rivera, Bryan, Cali, & Dawson, 2011). Specifically, this research found that within 30 school-aged children with ASDs, decreased social functioning predicted lower academic achievement three years later, after controlling for IQ. These results suggest that improved social functioning may be an important contributor to the variability in academic achievement observed in children with ASDs; thus, social domain should be incorporated into intervention to promote academic achievement in children with ASDs (Estes et al., 2011).
