Adolescent adaptive behavior profles in Williams–Beuren syndrome, Down syndrome, and autism spectrum disorder

Adaptive behavior can be impaired in diferent neurodevelopmental disorders and may be influenced by confounding factors, such as intelligence quotient (IQ) and socioeconomic classifcation. Our main objective was to verify whether adaptive behavior profles difer in three conditions—Williams Beuren syndrome (WBS), Down syndrome (DS), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as compared with healthy controls (HC) and with each other.
