Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often behaviorally hyper-reactive to
light touch, but it is unclear to what degree this arises from a fundamental sensory difference …

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 disorder (ASD) refers to neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by
symptoms such as social deficits and restricted interests and behavior. Several studies have …

Atypical sensory processing is a core symptom of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We
aimed at better characterizing visual sensitivity and responsivity in ASD at the self‐reported …

Atypical response to tactile input is associated with greater socio-communicative
impairments in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study examined …

Tactile sensitivities are common in Autism Spectrum Conditions (autism). Psychophysically,
slow, gentle stroking touch is typically rated as more pleasant than faster or slower touch …

TO THE EDITOR: We welcome the contribution of Puts and colleagues (2014) and
commend their use of rigorous psychophysical tasks in the investigation of sensory …

Sensory processing differences are widely reported in autism. However, our understanding
of sensory profiles in this population has been complicated due to the heterogeneous …

Pronounced heterogeneity is apparent across every facet of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
and it remains difficult to predict likely future potential among individuals who share a …

Autism spectrum disorder is associated with sensory processing alterations, such as sensory
hyper-and hypo-responsiveness. Twin studies are scarce in this field, but they are necessary …
