Eva Yin-han Chung; Kenneth Kuen-fung Sin; Daniel Hung-kay Chow – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Evidence-based robotic intervention programmes for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been limited. As yet, there is insufficient evidence to inform therapists, teachers, and service providers on effectiveness of robotic intervention to enhance social development and participation of children with ASD in a real context. This study…

Kumazaki, Hirokazu; Sumioka, Hidenobu; Muramatsu, Taro; Yoshikawa, Yuichiro; Shimaya, Jiro; Iwanaga, Ryoichiro; Ishiguro, Hiroshi; Sumiyoshi, Tomiki; Mimura, Masaru – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Sensory overresponsivity (SOR) emerges before anxiety and positively predicts subsequent increasing levels of anxiety in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Sensory seeking behavior occurs as compensation for SOR, and individuals may seek sensory input in one sensory domain to compensate for SOR. Tactile seeking behavior is sufficient…
