A working taxonomy for describing the sensory differences of autism

Molecular Autism, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: April 11, 2023

Abstract Background Individuals on the autism spectrum have been long described to process sensory information differently than neurotypical individuals. While much effort has leveraged towards characterizing and investigating neurobiology underlying differences of autism, there a notable lack consistency in terms being used describe nature those differences. Main body We argue that inconsistent interchangeable terminology-use when describing become problematic beyond mere pedantry inconvenience. begin by highlighting popular are currently (e.g. “sensitivity”, “reactivity” “responsivity”) discuss why poor nomenclature may hamper efforts understanding aetiology autism. then provide solution proposing hierarchical taxonomy for referring various features. Conclusion Inconsistent features stifled discussion scientific The proposed was developed help resolve clarity discussing place future research targets at appropriate levels analysis.

Autism Spectrum Disorder and auditory sensory alterations: a systematic review on the integrity of cognitive and neuronal functions related to auditory processing

Journal of Neural Transmission, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 130(3), P. 325 - 408

Published: March 1, 2023

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with wide spectrum of symptoms, mainly characterized by social, communication, and cognitive impairments. Latest diagnostic criteria according to DSM-5 (Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, 2013) now include sensory issues among the four restricted/repetitive behavior features defined as "hyper- or hypo-reactivity input unusual interest in aspects environment". Here, we review auditory alterations patients ASD. Considering updated for ASD, examined research evidence (2015-2022) integrity function auditory-related tasks, peripheral system, central nervous system diagnosed Taking into account different approaches experimental study designs, reappraise knowledge on reflect how these might be linked symptomatology

An Automated Online Measure for Misophonia: The Sussex Misophonia Scale for Adults

Assessment, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 31(8), P. 1598 - 1614

Published: Feb. 27, 2024

Misophonia is a sound sensitivity disorder characterized by strong aversion to specific sounds (e.g., chewing). Here we present the Sussex Scale for Adults ( SMS-Adult), within an online open-access portal, with automated scoring and results that can be shared ethically users professionals. Receiver operator characteristics show our questionnaire “excellent” “good-to-excellent” at classifying misophonia, both when dividing n = 501 adult participants recruitment stream (self-declared misophonics vs. general population), again them prior measure of misophonia (as non-misophonics).
