Peer Interactions of Students with Intellectual Disabilities and/or Autism: A Map of the Intervention Literature (2010, background): “For example, given epidemiological data suggesting that between 40% and 70% of children with ASD may have a co-occurring ID (Matson & Shoemaker, 2009; National Research Council, 2001), it is possible that many more of the participants in the reviewed studies actually had both ASD and ID.”
Training Teachers in Evidence-Based Practice for Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder (2015, background): “In addition to the diagnostic characteristics, individuals with ASD often present with an intellectual disability, exhibiting deficits in adaptive and cognitive functioning (Matson & Shoemaker, 2009).”
Bullying of children and adolescents with autism spectrum conditions: a ‘state of the field’ review (2015, background): “Furthermore, despite an acknowledgement of the considerable overlap between ASC and ID (e.g. Matson and Shoemaker 2009), no study thus far has specifically explored whether there are differences in the extent to which these groups are bullied.”
