Kadlaskar, Girija; Mao, Pin-Hsun; Iosif, Ana-Maria; Amaral, David; Wu Nordahl, Christine; Miller, Meghan – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Sensory processing differences are widely reported in autism. However, our understanding of sensory profiles in this population has been complicated due to the heterogeneous presentation of sensory symptoms. We addressed this by using latent profile analysis, allowing for the identification of more homogeneous sensory classes in a large cohort (n…

Kirby; Bahar Keceli-Kaysili; Tiffany G. Woynaroski – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Early differences in sensory responsiveness may contribute to difficulties with communication among autistic children; however, this theory has not been longitudinally assessed in infants at increased familial versus general population-level likelihood for autism (Sibs-autism vs. Sibs-NA) using a comprehensive battery of sensory responsiveness and…

Purpose: Differences in communication development impact long-term outcomes of children with autism. Previous research has identified factors associated with communication in children with autism, but much of the variance in communication skill remains unexplained. It has been proposed that early differences in sensory responsiveness (i.e.,…

Barnes, Madalyn; Bernau, Megan; Johnson, Lindsay; Melchert, Jordin; Patek, Madeline; Zebrowski, Kaeleigh; Moser, Christy Szczech – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2019
Numerous research studies have been completed on the topic of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). As individuals with this diagnosis are frequently treated by occupational therapists, this review will focus on research that has been completed on ASD that will provide insights into the understanding and treatment of children on the spectrum.

Zachor, Ditza A.; Ben-Itzchak, Esther – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
Unusual responses to sensory stimuli have been described in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).The study examined the frequencies of "unusual sensory interests" and "negative sensory responses" and their relation to functioning in a large ASD population (n = 679). Having "unusual sensory interests" was reported in 70.4%…

Kirby, Anne V.; Dickie, Virginia A.; Baranek, Grace T. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2015
First-person perspectives of children with autism spectrum disorder are rarely included in research, yet their voices may help more clearly illuminate their needs. This study involved phenomenological interviews with children with autism spectrum disorder (n = 12, ages 4-13) used to gain insights about their sensory experiences. This article…
