Dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and its relation with disease subtypes
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevelant childhood neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by early onset of persistent symptom patterns of hyperactivity, impulsiveness, and/or inattention.

Sensory over responsivity and obsessive compulsive symptoms: A cluster analysis
Several studies have examined the sensory component in Obsesseive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and described an OCD subtype which has a unique profile, and that Sensory Phenomena (SP) is a significant component of this subtype. SP has some commonalities with Sensory Over Responsivity (SOR) and might be in part a characteristic of this subtype. Although there are some studies that have examined SOR and its relation to Obsessive Compulsive Symptoms (OCS), literature lacks sufficient data on this interplay. (Source: Comprehensive Psychiatry)
