The association between Sensory Features (SF) and seven anxiety disorders was investigated using self-reports and parental reports about 140 young males with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Although there were significant correlations between SF and self- and parent-ratings of some of the seven anxiety disorders, overall, SF was found to have an inconsistent association across the seven anxiety disorders and this was also found for the 8 symptoms of Generalised Anxiety Disorder. These data challenge the practice of assessing SF and anxiety via global measures and argue for individualized disorder-specific assessments to develop more effective diagnoses and treatments for the effects of SF.
利用关于140名患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的年轻男性的自我报告和家长报告，对感觉特征（SF）与七种焦虑症之间的关联进行了调查。尽管SF与七种焦虑症中的某些病症的自我评分和家长评分之间存在显著相关性，但总体而言，SF与七种焦虑症之间的关联并不一致，广泛性焦虑症的8种症状也是如此。这些数据对通过整体测量评估SF和焦虑症的做法提出了挑战，并主张进行针对特定病症的个体化评估，以便为SF的影响制定更有效的诊断和治疗方法。
