Progress in sensory abnormalities in children with autism spectrum disorder

doi:10.11852/zgetbjzz2022-1517

Abstract

Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder. Sensory abnormality is one of the core symptoms in children with ASD, and raising awareness of them can help guide clinical and scientific work. This article reviews the research progress in sensory abnormalities from the aspect of clinical manifestations, related factors, evaluation instruments and interventions in ASD children.

Key words: autism spectrum disorder, children, sensory abnormalities
