Vaughan, Sarah; McGlone, Francis; Poole, Helen; Moore, David J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Sensory abnormalities in autism has been noted clinically, with pain insensitivity as a specified diagnostic criterion. However, there is limited research using psychophysically robust techniques. Thirteen adults with ASD and 13 matched controls completed an established quantitative sensory testing (QST) battery, supplemented with measures of pain…

Lee, Gabrielle T.; Hu, Xiaoyi; Liu, Yanhong; Yang, Zijin – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often lack symbolic play skills. Attribution of pretend properties (APP) is a type of symbolic play in which a child tacts pretend properties of an object (e.g., smelling a toy flower and saying, "It smells like a rose!"). Three Chinese boys (5-6 years of age) with ASD served as participants.…

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…

Atypical sensory processing is common in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but their role in adaptive difficulties and problem behaviors is poorly understood. Our aim was to determine the prevalence and type of atypical sensory processing in children with ASD and investigate its impact on their adaptive functioning and maladaptive behaviors. We…

Colombo-Dougovito, Andrew M.; Blagrave, A. Josephine; Healy, Sean – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Background: Although a growing body of literature has explored the physical activity experiences from the perspective of children on the autism spectrum, the perspective of autistic adults remains largely unheard. Due to this absence of perspective, there exists limited knowledge of the appropriateness and generalizability of current models and…

Gandhi, Tapan K.; Tsourides, Kleovoulos; Singhal, Nidhi; Cardinaux, Annie; Jamal, Wasifa; Pantazis, Dimitrios; Kjelgaard, Margaret; Sinha, Pawan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
It is estimated that nearly 90% of children on the autism spectrum exhibit sensory atypicalities. What aspects of sensory processing are affected in autism? Although sensory processing can be studied along multiple dimensions, two of the most basic ones involve examining instantaneous sensory responses and how the responses change over time. These…

Keith, Jessica M.; Jamieson, Jeremy P.; Bennetto, Loisa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
This study examined the impact of noise on cognitive performance in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), while concurrently measuring sympathetic responses. Adolescents with and without ASD completed visually presented span tasks in a 2 × 2 experimental manipulation of noise (quiet vs. 75 dB gated broadband noise) and task difficulty (easier vs.…

Adak, Pallabi; Sinha, Swagata; Banerjee, Nilanjana – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
In this pilot study, we aim to identify the role of few genetic variants of GABA-receptor type A subunits "GABRB[subscript 3]" (rs4906902, rs7171660), "GABRG[subscript 3]" (rs208129, rs140679), "GABRA[subscript 5]" (rs 140681) in the aetiology of autism spectrum disorders in a population of West Bengal. 192 ASD…

Weiland, Ricarda F.; Polderman, Tinca J. C.; Hoekstra, Rosa A.; Smit, Dirk J. A.; Begeer, Sander – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Sensory symptoms were recently added to the diagnostic criteria of autism spectrum disorder and may be a mechanism underlying the broad phenotype of autism spectrum disorder. To measure sensory symptoms based on perceptual rather than affective, regulative, or attention components, the Sensory Perception Quotient (SPQ) measuring five modalities of…

Chistol, Liem T.; Bandini, Linda G.; Must, Aviva; Phillips, Sarah; Cermak, Sharon A.; Curtin, Carol – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Few studies have compared atypical sensory characteristics and food selectivity between children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We compared oral sensory processing between children with (n = 53) and without ASD (n = 58), ages 3-11 years. We also examined the relationships between atypical oral sensory processing, food…

Neufeld, Janina; Taylor, Mark J.; Lundin Remnélius, Karl; Isaksson, Johan; Lichtenstein, Paul; Bölte, Sven – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Autism spectrum disorder is associated with sensory processing alterations, such as sensory hyper- and hypo-responsiveness. Twin studies are scarce in this field, but they are necessary in order to disentangle the genetic and environmental contributions to this association. Furthermore, it is unclear how different neurodevelopmental/psychiatric…

Bailey, Julie; Baker, Sara T. – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2020
Autistic pupils' full engagement with education can be limited by characteristics of their autism and features of the learning environment. We sought to identify which barriers to inclusion are most commonly and most frequently experienced and where gaps exist in the quantitative literature. In this systematic review, we followed the PRISMA…

Schulz, Samantha E.; Stevenson, Ryan A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Recent studies have suggested that individuals who exhibit heightened sensitivity also exhibit higher rates and severity of restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. This line of research has been conducted almost exclusively through caregiver reports of sensitivity. Here, a more rigorous psychophysics paradigm was applied to assess sensory…

Uljarevic, Mirko; Labuschagne, Izelle; Bobin, Rebecca; Atkinson, Anna; Hocking, Darren R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This study explored the interrelationship between intolerance of uncertainty, sensory hyper-sensitivity and anxiety in Williams syndrome (WS). Thirty-two parents or guardians of individuals with WS (M[subscript age] = 24.76 years, SD = 7.55) were included. Associations between anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty, sensory hyper-sensitivity, and ASD…
