A longitudinal study of parent ‐reported sensory responsiveness in toddlers at‐risk for autism

ConclusionsThese findings suggest that differences in sensory responsivity may be evident in high ‐risk infants later diagnosed with ASD in early toddlerhood, and that the magnitude of these differences increases over the second year of life. The high degree of association between SEQ scores and RRB supports the conceptual alignment of these features but also raises questions as to explanatory mechanisms.
