• This chapter first reviews cognitive decision making in adolescents and adults with and without autism spectrum disorders (ASD) with a focus on executive function in scenarios such as gambling tasks. A second focus is on emotional decision making in adolescents and adults with and without ASD. Alexithymia and interoception have been found to have an important impact on emotional decision making. The third focus is on moral decision making and individual differences in adolescents with ASD and adolescents with alexithymia and psychopathy. Finally, a support program for enhancement of decision making in adolescents and adults with ASD is proposed.
