The purpose of this study was to examine whether children with Asperger Syndrome and children with autism exhibit difference sensory profiles. The Sensory Profile (Dunn, 1999), completed on 86 individuals with Asperger Syndrome and 86 persons with autism matched for age, revealed differences in three of 23 areas evaluated: (a) Emotional/Social Responses, (b) Emotional Reactivity, and (c) Inattention/Distractibility. Implications regarding these similarities and differences in profile are discussed.

• Describing the Sensory Abnormalities of Children and Adults with Autism (2007, background): “Myles et al. (2004) found that children with autism and children with Asperger syndrome did not differ in their sensory symptoms except for auditory processing, a difficulty that was associated with distractibility and inattention.”
