Chen, Yun-Ju; Sideris, John; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Baranek, Grace T. – Child Development, 2022
This prospective study examined the latent growth trajectories of sensory patterns among a North Carolina birth cohort (N = 1517; 49% boys, 87% White) across infancy (6-19 months), preschool (3-4 years), and school years (6-7 years). Change rates of sensory hyper- and hyporesponsiveness better differentiated children with an autism diagnosis or…

Grzadzinski, Rebecca; Donovan, Kevin; Truong, Kinh; Nowell, Sallie; Lee, Helen; Sideris, John; Turner-Brown, Lauren; Baranek, Grace T.; Watson, Linda R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often display atypical sensory reactivity within the first years of life, prior to a diagnosis. This study examined sensory reactivity patterns at 14 months, changes from 14 to 23 months, and later ASD severity at 3 to 5 years of age in children (n = 87) at elevated likelihood of ASD. Results indicated…

Butera, Christiana; Ring, Priscilla; Sideris, John; Jayashankar, Aditya; Kilroy, Emily; Harrison, Laura; Cermak, Sharon; Aziz-Zadeh, Lisa – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2020
Difficulty processing sensory information may impede progress in school for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We explore the relationship between sensory processing and school performance in 26 high-functioning youths with ASD and 26 controls (age 8-14) using measures of sensory, social, cognitive, and academic functioning. In the ASD…

Little, Lauren M.; Ausderau, Karla; Sideris, John; Baranek, Grace T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
Sensory features are highly prevalent among children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and have been shown to cluster into four patterns of response, including hyperresponsiveness, hyporesponsiveness, enhanced perception, and sensory interests, repetitions and seeking behaviors. Given the lack of large-scale research on the differential effects…

Ausderau, Karla; Sideris, John; Furlong, Melissa; Little, Lauren M.; Bulluck, John; Baranek, Grace T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
This national online survey study characterized sensory features in 1,307 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) ages 2-12 years using the Sensory Experiences Questionnaire Version 3.0 (SEQ-3.0). Using the SEQ-3.0, a confirmatory factor analytic model with four substantive factors of hypothesized sensory response patterns (i.e.,…
