Children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show difficulties in recognizing emotions. Similarities and differences between these two clinical groups' emotion recognition (ER) have been little explored. This systematic review aims to summarize the results of comparative studies that included samples of cases with ASD and ADHD. A systematic search was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, and 24 papers were included. Behavioral, brain-based, and eye-tracking studies were considered, paying particular attention to the different methods used and to the characteristics of the study groups, such as cognitive factors, age-related differences, and comorbidities. This review provides some insight on the complex process of ER in ASD and ADHD, highlighting important directions for future research.

Abstract
Children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show difficulties in recognizing emotions. Similarities and differences between these two clinical groups' emotion recognition (ER) have been little explored. This systematic review aims to summarize the results of comparative studies that included samples of cases with ASD and ADHD. A systematic search was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, and 24 papers were included. Behavioral, brain-based, and eye-tracking studies were considered, paying particular attention to the different methods used and to the characteristics of the study groups, such as cognitive factors, age-related differences, and comorbidities. This review provides some insight on the complex process of ER in ASD and ADHD, highlighting important directions for future research.Pubblicazioni consigliate
