Autism Research Blog: Translating Autism: Sensory sensitivity as early sign of autism: more empirical evidence. - 0 views

  • When compared to children with non-ASD developmental delays, children with autism had significantly more tactile sensitivity, auditory anomalies (low response), and taste/smell sensitivity.
  • in this study the authors wanted to determine whether sensory abnormalities would differentiate between children with ASD and children with other developmental conditions.
  • When compared to the children with non-ASD developmental delays, the children with autism had significantly more tactile sensitivity, auditory anomalies (low response), and taste/smell sensitivity. The authors did not find differences between the two groups in visual or auditory over-sensitivity.

  • results provide indirect support for the common clinical practice of considering signs of sensory sensitivities as one factor when determining whether a child has an ASD, a developmental delay, or a language delay.
  • early sensory sensitivity should be one of the factors examined by pediatricians during healthy baby checkups.
  • results do not tell us whether the levels of sensory anomalies observed in the non-ASD group are higher than what is expected among typically developing children.
