characteristic of autism, and has been linked to both anxiety (and its putative infant precursor …

Autism is diagnosed based on social and communication difficulties, restricted and repetitive
behaviours and sensory anomalies. Existing evidence indicates that anxiety and atypical …

Sensory reactivity differences are a diagnostic criterion of autism. Sensory hyperreactivity
has been linked to intolerance of uncertainty and anxiety in autistic children. However …

Infants at elevated likelihood of developing autism display differences in sensory reactivity,
especially hyporeactivity, as early as 7 months of age, potentially contributing to a …
