Empirical evidence concerning sensory responsivity in young children who later develop autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains relatively limited. It is unclear whether specific patterns or aspects of sensory responsivity underlay the emergence of the disorder. The goals of this study were to (a) examine whether social versus non-social context impacted the expression of sensory responsivity in infants at high risk for ASD, and (b) examine if sensory responsivity in social or non-social contexts was associated with severity of ASD symptoms. The Sensory Experiences Questionnaire 2.1 was collected for 338 infants (131 females, 207 males) at high-risk for ASD at 12 and/or 24 months of age. High-risk toddlers meeting diagnostic criteria for ASD (n = 75) showed elevated sensory responsivity in both social and non-social contexts at 12 months of age and differences widened over the second year of life. Individuals with ASD demonstrate higher responsivity in both contexts suggestive of generalized atypical sensory responsivity in ASD.

自闭症谱系障碍高危幼儿的社交和非社交感官反应

关于后来发展为自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的幼儿的感觉反应的经验证据仍然相对有限。目前尚不清楚感觉反应的特定模式或方面是否是疾病出现的基础。本研究的目的是 (a) 检查社会与非社会环境是否影响 ASD 高风险婴儿的感觉反应的表达，以及 (b) 检查社会或非社会环境中的感觉反应是否与ASD 症状的严重程度。感官体验问卷 2.1 收集了 338 名 12 个月和/或 24 个月大的 ASD 高危婴儿（131 名女性，207 名男性）。符合 ASD 诊断标准的高危幼儿 ( n = 75) 在 12 个月大时表现出在社交和非社交环境中的感觉反应性提高，并且在生命的第二年差异扩大。患有 ASD 的个体在这两种情况下都表现出更高的反应性，这表明 ASD 中存在普遍的非典型感觉反应。
