BACKGROUND
Sensory processing differences are reported both in children with ADHD and in children with autism. Given the substantial overlap between autism and ADHD, the current study examined which sensory features were uniquely predictive of autistic traits after controlling for ADHD symptoms, age, IQ, and sex in a sample of children and adolescents with autism aged 6-17 years.
METHODS
The sample included 61 children and adolescents with autism. The Sensory Profile was used to examine Dunn's quadrant model (seeking, sensitivity, avoiding, registration), ADHD symptoms were measured using hyperactivity and attention problems BASC-2 T-scores, and autistic traits were measured using the AQ.
RESULTS
After controlling for age, IQ, sex, and ADHD symptoms, Dunn's sensitivity quadrant predicted autistic traits.
CONCLUSIONS
Findings provide insight into the phenotype of autism and ADHD. Sensory sensitivity may be unique to autism over and above elevated ADHD symptoms that are commonly seen in this population.
背景
据报道，患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童和患有自闭症的儿童都存在感觉处理差异。鉴于自闭症和ADHD之间存在大量重叠，本研究在一个年龄在6至17岁的自闭症儿童和青少年样本中，在控制了ADHD症状、年龄、智商和性别之后，考察了哪些感觉特征能独特地预测自闭症特征。
方法
样本包括61名患有自闭症的儿童和青少年。使用感觉概况量表来考察邓恩象限模型（寻求、敏感、回避、登记），使用多动和注意力问题BASC-2 T分数来测量ADHD症状，使用自闭症谱系商数（AQ）来测量自闭症特征。
结果
在控制了年龄、智商、性别和ADHD症状之后，邓恩的敏感象限可预测自闭症特征。
结论
研究结果为自闭症和ADHD的表型提供了见解。感觉敏感可能是自闭症独有的特征，超出了该人群中常见的ADHD症状加剧的情况。
