Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may exhibit driving difficulties due to cognitive impairments such as time perception difficulties, a construct related to the perception of time-to-collision (TTC). This study examined the timing abilities of drivers with ASD and ADHD. Sixty participants (n_ADHD = 20, n_ASD = 20, n_TD = 20) completed a time reproduction task and a TTC estimation task in a driving simulator. Results indicated drivers with ASD were less precise in time reproduction across all time intervals and over-reproduced time at shorter intervals. Drivers with ASD produced larger TTC estimates when driving at a faster speed compared to typically developing drivers. Drivers with ASD, but not ADHD, appear to present difficulties in time estimation abilities.

患有注意力缺陷/多动障碍 (ADHD) 和自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的个体可能会因认知障碍而出现驾驶困难，例如时间感知困难，这是一种与碰撞时间 (TTC) 感知相关的结构。这项研究检查了患有 ASD 和 ADHD 的驾驶员的计时能力。六十名参与者（n _ADHD  = 20，n _ASD  = 20，n _TD = 20) 在驾驶模拟器中完成了时间再现任务和 TTC 估计任务。结果表明，患有 ASD 的驾驶员在所有时间间隔内的时间再现精度较低，并且在较短的时间间隔内过度再现了时间。与通常正在发育的驾驶员相比，患有 ASD 的驾驶员在以更快的速度驾驶时会产生更大的 TTC 估计值。患有 ASD 而非 ADHD 的驾驶员似乎在时间估计能力方面存在困难。
