Résumé
Caractérisé par la lenteur et l’hypoactivité, le rythme cognitif lent est associé à des déficits sur le plan de la mémoire de travail, à une vitesse réduite du traitement de l’information et à un manque d’initiation. Ces mêmes difficultés sont rapportées chez les personnes présentant un trouble du spectre de l’autisme. Cet article a ainsi pour objectif de décrire les symptômes du rythme cognitif lent chez des adolescents ayant un trouble du spectre de l’autisme qui fréquentent une école secondaire ordinaire. Les analyses effectuées montrent des déficits significatifs en lien avec la vitesse du traitement de l’information et l’initiation.

Abstract
Characterized by sluggishness and hypoactivity, sluggish cognitive tempo is associated with deficits in working memory, reduced processing speed and lack of initiative. Yet, these same difficulties are reported in people with autism spectrum disorder. This article aims to describe the caracteristics of sluggish cognitive tempo in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. Results evoke significant deficits related to speed of information processing and initiative.
Keywords:
- autism spectrum disorder,
- sluggish cognitive tempo,
