In addition to difficulties in social communication, current diagnostic criteria for autism
spectrum conditions (ASC) also incorporate sensorimotor difficulties, repetitive motor …

Alterations in somatosensory (touch and pain) behaviors are highly prevalent among people
with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). However, the neural mechanisms underlying …
