“…16,17 Some research findings suggest that sensory over-responsivity is common in individuals with ASD and is linked to sleep problems, lower levels of social skills and adaptive behaviors, and increased anxiety; moreover, when combined with anxiety, it predicts an increasing level of gastrointestinal problems. [18][19][20][21] Among the few studies that included adults with ASD, the results have shown that sensory over-responsivity persists into adulthood. [22][23][24] Sensory over-responsivity can affect an individual's emotional states, education participation, social life, and work performance.…”

Introduction: Despite the highly prevailing rate of sensory over-responsivity, problem behaviors, and anxiety among emerging adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), little is known about the nature of their experiences. While previous studies have indicated potential relationships among these conditions, their connections still need to be clarified. This study aimed to examine the relationships between sensory over-responsivity, problem behaviors, and anxiety. Methods: Fifty-seven emerging adults with ASD (M age = 21.4, SD = 2.5; males = 80.7%) were recruited. The Adult Sensory Profile-Chinese version, Problem Behavior Scale of Scales of Independent Behavior-Revised, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7-Chinese version (GAD-7) were used. Results: The percentage of emerging adults with ASD who scored more than most people in the two quadrants were sensation sensitivity = 33.3% and sensation avoiding = 26.3%. Approximately 66.7%, 27.5%, and 50.9% of participants had internalizing behaviors, externalizing behaviors, and asocial behaviors, respectively. Approximately, 64.9% of the participants scored on or above the cutoff score of 6 on the GAD-7. Sensation sensitivity and sensation avoiding were significantly correlated to problem behaviors; and anxiety was a mediating variable that accounts for the relationships between sensory over-responsivity and problem behaviors. Conclusion: These results indicated that emerging adults with ASD showing problem behaviors might also report more exaggerated responses toward sensory inputs and experience more anxiety symptoms. The results indicate that sensory over-responsivity, problem behaviors, and anxiety may have common underlying mechanisms. Findings can be useful to understand the impacts of such difficulties for emerging adults with ASD.

“…Sensory abnormalities are also core features of ASD, and have been reported to show a high prevalence in previous studies [2–4]. In addition, sensory abnormalities interrupt behavioral adaptation and cause behavioral problems in individual with ASD [3, 5]. Since the neural bases underlying these abnormalities have recently been receiving considerable interest from the aspect of leading to more effective diagnosis and intervention, it is important to examine the neural features corresponding to each symptom [6, 7].…”

Background Visual abnormality is a common sensory impairment in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which may cause behavioral problems. However, only a few studies exist on the neural features corresponding to the visual symptoms in ASD. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cortical responses to visual stimuli and visual abnormality to examine the neurophysiological mechanisms of the visual abnormality in ASD. Methods Twenty-two high-functioning children with ASD (10.95 ± 2.01 years old) and 23 age-matched typically developing (TD) children (10.13 ± 2.80 years old) participated in this study. We measured the cortical responses (i.e., activated intensity and attenuation ratio) elicited by the Original visual image and other two types of bright images (the Dot noise or Blind image, which includes overlapped particles onto the Original image or the enhanced-brightness version of the Original image, respectively) using magnetoencephalography. Results The severity of visual abnormalities was significantly associated with behavioral problems in children with ASD. In addition, we found the increased cortical activation in response to the Original image in the left supramarginal gyrus (SMG) and middle temporal gyrus in children with ASD. However, there were no inter-group differences in the primary visual and medial orbitofrontal cortices. Furthermore, when we compared cortical responses according to the type of images, children with ASD showed lesser attenuation of the activated intensities than children with TD in response to the bright images compared with the Original image in the right SMG. These attenuation ratios (Dot noise/Original and Blind/Original) were also associated with the severity of visual abnormalities. Conclusions Our results show that dysfunction of stimulus-driven neural suppression plays a crucial role in the neural mechanism of visual abnormality in children with ASD. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first magnetoencephalography study to demonstrate the association between the severity of visual abnormality and lower attenuation ratios in children with ASD. Our results contribute to the knowledge of the mechanisms underlying visual abnormality in children with ASD, and may therefore lead to more effective diagnosis and earlier intervention.

Background Tics are conceptualized as a sensorimotor phenomenon with a premonitory urge typically described by patients. As observed in other neurodevelopmental disorders, we have observed sensory dysregulation symptoms, such as tactile hypersensitivity to clothing, in children with tic disorders; however, formal clinical research in this area is limited. Objective To define the presence of sensory dysregulation symptoms in tic disorders, and their clinical associations. Methods Prevalence of sensory dysregulation in 102 children with tic disorders was compared to 61 age‐ and sex‐matched healthy controls. Sensory dysregulation, executive function, and quality of life data were obtained through the Short Sensory Profile‐2, Sensory Profile‐2, Sensory Processing Measure, Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function‐2, and Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. Tics were assessed with the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale. Results Children with tics, in the presence of comorbidity, had elevated sensory dysregulation compared to healthy controls (P < 0.001). There was a positive correlation between sensory dysregulation and global executive difficulties in children with tics and comorbidity (n = 87; rho = 0.716; P < 0.001) and a negative correlation of sensory dysregulation with quality of life (n = 87; rho = –0.595; P < 0.001). In children with tics, there was an association between sensory dysregulation and number of comorbidities (P < 0.001). Conclusion In the presence of comorbidity, children with tic disorders have broad sensory dysregulation symptoms beyond the premonitory urge. There was a statistically significant association between sensory dysregulation and executive function difficulties and the presence of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric comorbidity. Sensory dysregulation can be considered neurodevelopmental symptoms, providing insight into the neurobiology of tics and opportunities for therapeutic intervention. © 2019 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society
