This study compared the patterns of sensory processing among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and children without disabilities. Parents reported on the frequency of sensory processing issues by completing the Chinese Sensory Profile (CSP). Children with disabilities (ASD or ADHD) exhibited significantly more sensory processing issues than children without disabilities. The results of GLM and discriminant analyses showed that the CSP effectively differentiated between children with and without developmental disabilities. But it failed to identify major differences in sensory processing issues between children with either ASD or ADHD. Sensory processing issues could be one of many criteria that characterize and differentiate the features of children with different developmental disabilities. Although no significant gender differences in sensory processing issues appeared, age was a significant cofounding factor in evaluating sensory processing. Children without disabilities showed some small decreases in sensory processing issues as they aged from 6 to 12 years old. Children with ASD showed some decrease in sensory processing issues over the span of their childhood, while children with ADHD showed a significant increase in auditory processing issues as well as small increases in many aspects of sensory processing.
本研究比较了自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）、注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）儿童与无残疾儿童的感觉处理模式。家长通过完成中文版感觉统合量表（CSP）报告感觉处理问题的频率。有残疾（ASD 或 ADHD）的儿童比无残疾的儿童表现出更多的感觉处理问题。GLM 和判别分析的结果表明，CSP 能有效区分有和无发育障碍的儿童。但它未能识别出 ASD 或 ADHD 儿童之间在感觉处理问题上的主要差异。感觉处理问题可能是许多特征和区分不同发育障碍儿童特征的标准之一。虽然感觉处理问题在性别上没有显著差异，但年龄是评估感觉处理时的一个重要混杂因素。无残疾的儿童随着年龄从 6 岁到 12 岁，感觉处理问题略有减少。ASD 儿童在整个童年时期感觉处理问题有所减少，而 ADHD 儿童的听觉处理问题显著增加，许多感觉处理方面也略有增加。
