The behaviors described in the article remind me very strongly of ADHD. It makes sense, because the article talked about Executive Function and people have long suggested that a better name for ADHD would be Executive Function Deficit Disorder (EFDD). Furthermore, ADHD and ASD seem to commonly occur together:
>studies show that between 30 and 50% of individuals with ASD manifest ADHD symptoms (particularly at pre-school age), and similarly, estimates suggest two-thirds of individuals with ADHD show features of ASD (Davis and Kollins, 2012). [0]
Perhaps looking into treatments for ADHD could help?
