Popis: ObjectiveTo explore the sensory processing characteristics of preschool children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and to provide a theoretical basis for early screening and intervention training of ASD.MethodsA total of 215 preschool children with ASD and 170 typically developed (TD) children were investigated with a basic situation questionnaire and sensory processing measure (SPM). The two groups were stratified according to age and gender, and the differences of scores in sensory domains were compared to analyze the sensory processing characteristics of preschool children with ASD.ResultsThe scores of social participation, vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell, body awareness, balance and motion, planning and ideas, and total sensory system in children with ASD were all higher than those in children with TD (all P0.05). Boys and girls with ASD had higher scores in all developmental quotients than TD children (P0.05).ConclusionSensory processing abnormalities are common in preschool children with ASD, which are different from those of TD children in multiple sensory domains. Sensory processing abnormalities may be used as an indicator for early screening of ASD, and it is necessary to conduct corresponding intervention training for sensory processing abnormalities in children with ASD.
