Abstract: This study examines the link between neural reward response and ADHD symptom severity in autistic young adults using EEG and self-report questionnaires. Findings reveal increased impulsivity strongly trends toward a positive correlation with greater neural responsivity to rewards, suggesting ADHD symptoms may attenuate hypo-activation to reward in autism.
