The Relationship between Autistic Traits and Everyday Memory Processing in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder

This study examined associations between autistic traits and everyday memory performance in 22 adults with ASD and 20 healthy controls using the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test and Autism Spectrum Quotient. Results showed that autistic traits related to social skills and communication significantly predicted everyday memory functioning, particularly prospective memory, suggesting social difficulties may influence memory performance in real-world situations.
