Abstract in brief

  • This meta-analysis reviews research on sensory symptoms like overresponsivity, underresponsivity, and seeking behaviors in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), comparing them to typical controls and those with other conditions.
  • The study found that sensory issues are significantly more pronounced in ASD compared to controls, especially for overresponsivity and seeking behaviors, though the degree varies depending on factors like age and self-reporting.
  • Results suggest that sensory symptoms are a core feature of ASD, but the underlying causes of these symptoms are still unclear and need further investigation.
