Individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and specific learning disorders (SLD) have various types of sensory characteristics.
This study investigated sensory issues in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders using a web-based questionnaire for qualitative and quantitative analysis, categorized the contents of their three most distressful sensory issues, and evaluated their order of priority.
Auditory problems were reported as the most distressing sensory issue among the participants. In addition to auditory problems, individuals with ASD frequently reported more tactile problems, and individuals with SLD reported more visual problems. Among the individual sensory issues, in addition to aversion to sudden, strong, or specific stimuli, some participants reported confusions regarding multiple stimuli presenting concurrently. Additionally, the sensory issues related to foods (i.e., taste) was relatively more common in the minor group.
These results suggest that the diversity of sensory issues experienced should be carefully considered when aiding persons with neurodevelopmental disorders.
患有神经发育障碍的个体，如自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）、注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）和特定学习障碍（SLD），具有各种类型的感官特征。
本研究使用基于网络的问卷对患有神经发育障碍的个体的感官问题进行了定性和定量分析，对他们三个最困扰的感官问题的内容进行了分类，并评估了它们的优先级顺序。
听觉问题被报告为参与者中最困扰的感官问题。除了听觉问题外，ASD个体经常报告更多的触觉问题，而SLD个体报告更多的视觉问题。在个体感官问题中，除了对突然、强烈或特定刺激的厌恶外，一些参与者报告了同时出现多种刺激时的困惑。此外，与食物（即味道）相关的感官问题在较小的群体中相对更常见。
这些结果表明，在帮助患有神经发育障碍的人时，应仔细考虑所经历的感官问题的多样性。
