Gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been hypothesized to play a role in tactile …

For some people, simple sensory stimuli (eg, noises, patterns) may reliably evoke intense
and aversive reactions. This is common in certain clinical groups (eg, autism) and varies …

Many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have symptoms of sensory

Background Sensory processing difficulties are common across neurodevelopmental
disorders. Thus, reliable measures are needed to understand the biological underpinnings …

Many autistic people report overwhelming sensory experiences and also elevated levels of
anxiety. Understanding how these experiences are linked to each other can contribute to …

An increasing body of evidence has linked pathological body-focused repetitive behaviors
(BFRBs) to excessive sensory sensitivity and difficulty modulating sensory inputs. Likewise …
