Abstract in brief

  • The study used the DISCO interview to analyze sensory abnormalities in children and adults with autism, finding that over 90% of children showed issues across multiple sensory domains.
  • Children with autism exhibited more sensory symptoms, especially in smell, taste, and vision, compared to clinical controls.
  • Sensory abnormalities were found to be widespread, persistent, and influenced by age and IQ, with implications for clinical treatment and research.]
