Abstract
Drivers with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and typical development (TD) were examined using a self-report questionnaire to measure the frequency and perceived safety of distracted driving behaviors. Drivers with ASD reported significantly fewer distracted driving behaviors and perceived those behaviors as less safe than other diagnostic groups.
