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.
在150名患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的6至18岁年轻男性中，从两个层面研究了感觉加工特征（SPF）与抑郁症状之间的关联。首先，发现SPF与抑郁症状总评分之间存在显著相关性。其次，SPF的不同方面显著预测了不同的抑郁症状因素，其中低感觉登记（或感觉低敏）是抑郁症状最强有力的预测因素。根据使用父母的评分还是男孩的自我报告来评估SPF和抑郁症状，这些关联也存在差异。文中还讨论了与SPF相关的抑郁症状的评估和治疗意义。
