Precise minds in uncertain worlds: predictive coding in autism. (2014, background): “By caregivers this may be interpreted as hyporeactivity (Ben-Sasson et al., 2009; Tomchek & Dunn, 2007).”
A Behavioral Comparison of Male and Female Adults with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Conditions (2011, positive): “This inclusion in DSM-5 mirrors the evidence that both under-and over-responsivity to sensory stimuli may have been an overlooked feature of autism in the past [67].”
Relations among restricted and repetitive behaviors, anxiety and sensory features in children with autism spectrum disorders (2014, neutral): “There is also evidence of an association between atypical sensory features and anxiety in ASD (Ben-Sasson et al., 2009; Green & Ben-Sasson, 2010; Green, Ben-Sasson, Soto, & Carter, 2012; Pfeiffer, Kinnealey, Reed, & Hertzberg, 2005).”
Sensory Processing in Autism: A Review of Neurophysiologic Findings (2011, neutral): “Although sensory hyper- and hyporesponsiveness are not unique to ASD, they appear to be more prevalent in this population than in other developmental disabilities (4,8,9).”
Food selectivity and sensory sensitivity in children with autism spectrum disorders (2010, neutral): “(33), reviewed results from 14 studies (of 97 potential studies identified), 13 of which included a comparison group of typically developing children and four of which included a comparison group of children with developmental disabilities.”
