Background Unusual behavioral reactions to sensory stimuli are frequently reported in
individuals on the autism spectrum (AS). Despite the early emergence of sensory features (< …

Abstract Purpose of Review This review aims to summarize the current body of behavioral,
physiological, and molecular knowledge concerning tactile sensitivity in autism spectrum …

Sensory processing abnormalities are among the most common behavioral phenotypes
seen in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), typically characterized by either over-or under …

Although tactile reactivity issues are commonly reported in children with autism spectrum
disorder (ASD), the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Less feed‐forward …

Behavioral differences in responding to tactile and auditory stimuli are widely reported in
individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the neural mechanisms …

The neural underpinnings of sensory processing differences in autism remain poorly
understood. This prospective magnetoencephalography (MEG) study investigates whether …

Backgrounds Atypicalities in tactile processing are reported in autism spectrum disorder
(ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) but it remains unknown if they …

We assessed different aspects of tactile perception in young children (3–6 years) with
autism. Autistic and neurotypical children completed vibrotactile tasks assessing reaction …

The goal of this study was to explore neural response to touch in children with and without
autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Patterns of reduced (hypo-responsiveness) and enhanced …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are often associated with aberrant responses to sensory
stimuli, which are thought to contribute to the social, communication, and repetitive behavior …
