“…Their study determined factors that affect the emotional and behavioral problems in autistic children [20]. Since studies in this context are limited and incomprehensive, the present study was performed in Iran, for the first time, to determine the relationship between behavioral problems and sensory processing in children with ADHD.…”

“…Tseng et al [20] evaluated emotional, behavioral, and sensory processing problems in 67 autistic children aged 4 to 6 years and compared them with 45 children of the same age group without autism. They found that 95.8% of autistic children who had a significant internalization problem in at least one part of SP showed a significant difference while 81.8% of those who had externalization problems in at least one part of SP showed a significant difference.…”

Objectives: All individuals need to have the ability of appropriate sensory processing for proper functioning in the environment and participation in daily activities. Moreover, behavioral functions can be affected by sensory processing problems. This study aimed to determine the relationship between behavioral problems and sensory processing in 7 to 10 years old children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).Methods: This descriptive (cross-sectional) study included 60 children with ADHD aged 7 to 10 years, who were referred to a comprehensive psychiatric center. Short Sensory Profile (SSP) and Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) questionnaires were used for assessing the patterns of sensory processing and behavioral problems in the patients.Results: There was a negative correlation between internalizing behavioral problems (r=−0.426) and externalizing behavioral problems (r=−0.465), and the total score of sensory processing in ADHD children (P<0.05). Discussion:The findings of this study showed that some behaviors in children with ADHD could be due to certain defects in their sensory processing.

The findings suggest that sensory features in ASD may be driving the high prevalence of parental stress in carers. They also suggest that the effect on parental stress that has been attributed traditionally to maladaptive behaviours may be driven by sensory difficulties. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to the development of interventions and the need to explore contextual and cultural variables as possible sources of variability.

“…One aspect of ASD itself that has been significantly associated with psychological distress in children with an ASD is the way they process sensory inputs from their environment, often referred to as Sensory Processing Features (SPF), or the hyper-or hypo-reactivity to sensory inputs shown by these children and which are now part of the formal diagnostic process for ASD (APA 2013 well as having a higher prevalence in children with an ASD than in their non-ASD peers (Ben-Sasson et al 2009), SPF in children with an ASD has been linked with difficulties managing daily life (Kern et al 2006), lower participation in social, physical and related activities (Hochhauser and Engel-Yeger 2010) and challenging behaviour in schoolage (Tseng et al 2011) and preschool age children (O'Donnell et al 2012). There is no significant association between SPF and gender, IQ or overall ASD severity (Lane et al 2014) but sensory seeking (one aspect of SPF) has been significantly associated with ritualistic/sameness behaviour (Boyd et al 2010).…”

The association between Sensory Processing Features (SPF) and depressive symptoms was investigated at two levels in 150 young males (6-18 years) with an ASD. First, a significant correlation was found between SPF and total depressive symptom scores. Second, different aspects of SPF significantly predicted different depressive symptom factors, with Low Registration (or sensory hyposensitivity) being the most powerful predictor of depressive symptoms. There were also differences in these associations according to whether parents' ratings or the boys' self-reports were used to assess SPF and depressive symptoms. Implications for assessment and treatment of SPF-related depressive symptoms are discussed.
