Abstract

Internet addiction poses a significant concern for adolescents, particularly those diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. Although empirical research focusing on adolescents with Asperger's syndrome is limited, existing findings reveal several neurocognitive and mental health factors contributing to internet addiction. Impulsivity, attention deficits, social skills deficits, cognitive rigidity, and co-occurring anxiety and depression are among the key aspects identified. Understanding these factors is essential for developing effective interventions. This review discusses neurocognitive and mental health aspects of internet addiction in adolescents with Asperger's syndrome as well as potential interventions targeting these aspects to promote healthy internet use and overall well-being in this unique population.
