Fluegge, Keith – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Preliminary evidence suggests that sensory processing may be affected in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The purpose of this letter is to highlight a few recent studies on the topic and tie the findings to a recently identified epidemiological risk factor for ASD, principally environmental exposure to the air pollutant, nitrous oxide (N[subscript…

Brede, Janina; Babb, Charli; Jones, Catherine; Elliott, Mair; Zanker, Cathy; Tchanturia, Kate; Serpell, Lucy; Fox, John; Mandy, Will – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Autistic women are overrepresented among people in treatment for Anorexia Nervosa (AN). The current study aimed to: (1) better understand how AN develops and persists in autistic individuals from the perspective of autistic women, parents and healthcare professionals; (2) derive a theoretical model of restrictive eating difficulties in autism. We…

Lee, Helen Y.; Vigen, Cheryl; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Bryson, Susan; Smith, Isabel; Brian, Jessica; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Turner-Brown, Lauren; Reznick, J. Steven; Baranek, Grace T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
This study examined the performance of the First Year Inventory (FYI; version 2.0), a community-normed parent-reported screening instrument, in a high-risk (HR) sample of 12-month-olds with older siblings diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The FYI 2.0 was completed by parents of 86 HR infants and 35 low-risk control infants at age…

Hample, Kerri; Mahler, Kelly; Amspacher, Adam – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2020
The ability to notice internal sensations such as tense muscles, a rumbling stomach, or heavy eyelids and translate these internal sensations into emotional meaning such as anger, hunger, and fatigue is an important skill called interoceptive awareness. Deficits in interoception have been discovered within many conditions including autism spectrum…

Karaminis, Themis; Arrighi, Roberto; Forth, Georgia; Burr, David; Pellicano, Elizabeth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Autistic individuals often present atypicalities in adaptation--the continuous recalibration of perceptual systems driven by recent sensory experiences. Here, we examined such atypicalities in human biological motion. We used a dual-task paradigm, including a running-speed discrimination task ('comparing the speed of two running silhouettes') and…

Mason, David; Ingham, Barry; Urbanowicz, Anna; Michael, Cos; Birtles, Heather; Woodbury-Smith, Marc; Brown, Toni; James, Ian; Scarlett, Clare; Nicolaidis, Christina; Parr, Jeremy R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Autistic people are more likely to: be diagnosed with a range of physical health conditions (i.e. cardio-vascular disease); experience premature mortality (for most disease categories); and experience barriers to effectively accessing healthcare. This systematic review sought to identify studies that report on barriers and facilitators to physical…

Durrani, Huma – Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, 2019
Art therapy has the potential to address some of the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by promoting sensory regulation, supporting psychomotor development, and facilitating communication. The multisensory nature of art materials and the relational aspect of art making lends itself to the treatment of the challenges inherent in ASD…

Piller, Aimee; Fletcher, Tina; Pfeiffer, Beth; Dunlap, Karen; Pickens, Noralyn – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2019
The "Participation and Sensory Environment Questionnaire--Teacher Version" (PSEQ-TV) is a teacher report questionnaire designed to examine the impact of the sensory environment on participation for preschool children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study examines the construct validity of the assessment through principal…

Hohn, Vanessa D.; de Veld, Danielle M. J.; Mataw, Kawita J. S.; van Someren, Eus J. W.; Begeer, Sander – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Insomnia is a common source of distress in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Two characteristics of ASD could be relevant to insomnia complaints by hampering the entrainment of a circadian sleep-wake rhythm. First, sensory hyper-reactivity could lead to bright light avoidance and thus affect photoperiodic input to the circadian system.…

Brinkert, Jana; Remington, Anna – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Recent studies highlighted that autistic individuals show increased perceptual capacity -- the ability to process more information at any one time. This study examined whether there is a link between this increased perceptual capacity and the sensory hypersensitivity that many autistic people experience on a daily basis. In total, 38 autistic and…

Flowers, Jacqueline; Lantz, Johanna; Hamlin, Terry; Simeonsson, Rune J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Self-injurious behavior (SIB) occurs in up to 50% of individuals with autism. As one of the most serious conditions in individuals with developmental disabilities, SIB affects the individual and his or her family in multiple contexts. A systematic analysis of factors most commonly associated with SIB could inform the development of individualized…

McLaughlin, Annie; Fleury, Veronica P. – Young Exceptional Children, 2020
Many teachers and parents of young children with disabilities, particularly autism spectrum disorder (ASD), are familiar with young children who engage in repetitive and restrictive behaviors such as flapping, spinning, and rocking. This type of restrictive and repetitive behavior, or stereotypy, can be common, over time it can become problematic…

Purpose: Differences in communication development impact long-term outcomes of children with autism. Previous research has identified factors associated with communication in children with autism, but much of the variance in communication skill remains unexplained. It has been proposed that early differences in sensory responsiveness (i.e.,…

Fiene, L.; Ireland, M. J.; Brownlow, C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Increasing attention is being paid to how adults on the autism spectrum perceive and interpret the interoceptive sense. This 20-item Interoception Sensory Questionnaire represents a single factor scale that can be interpreted as representing confusion about interoceptive bodily states unless these states are extreme (Alexisomia), and has been…
