Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the
presence of difficulties in communication and social interaction, often associated with deficits in
executive functions (EF). The EF correct development is related to a more effective functioning in
all its daily activities, while being associated with more efficient social relations. The objective of
this research is to analyze the level of development of EF in children and adolescents with ASD in
school and at home. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, and multicenter study with 102 participants
selected by non-probabilistic sampling, 32 parents of children with ASD, and 70 professionals
in the field of education of students with ASD. The study confirms that although children and
adolescents with ASD have problems in executive functioning, the perception of informants, parents,
and education professionals is similar but not the same in the different contexts: school and home.
