Creativity in boys and girls with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention and/or hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
A systematic review

textAbstract
The objective of this work is to present a bibliographic review on the evaluation of creativity in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention deficit and/or hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Following the PRISMA methodology, the screening process and the delimitation of the corpus resulted in twenty articles, which have been systematically analyzed. In studies on ASD, and despite detecting certain uneven results, there is a consensus on a higher-than-average development of the verbal creativity domain. On the other hand, in the case of students with ADHD, the results are very homogeneous and show superior scores on figurative creativity than boys and girls without ADHD. All these results demonstrate the relevance of deepening the analysis of creativity in students with special educational needs, which is a rising line of research.
