Abstract

Atypical sensory processing is common in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Despite growing evidence that ADHD symptoms persist into adolescence, the sensory processing of individuals with ADHD in this age group is limited. The aim of this study was to assess differences in self-reported sensory experiences between adolescents with and without ADHD. One hundred thirty-eight Italian adolescents aged between 14 and 18 years (M=16.20; SD= ± 1.90) participated in the study. Sixty-nine participants with ADHD were matched by gender, age, and IQ to 69 typically developing individuals. The sensory processing of all participants was assessed using the Adolescent Sensory Profile (ASP) on the components: low registration, sensation seeking, sensory sensitivity, and sensation avoiding. Moreover, the modalities of ASP were measured: movement, vision, touch, activity level, hearing, and taste/smell. Results show that the ADHD group consistently displayed higher scores across all four components of the sensory profile compared to the control group. The subjects with ADHD also reported higher scores than the control group in all the modalities of ASP. These results confirming the presence of atypical sensory processing in adolescents with ADHD were discussed considering the Cumulative and Emergent Automatic Deficit model (CEAD).

注意力缺陷多动障碍青少年的非典型感觉处理：比较研究

非典型感觉处理是注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的常见症状。尽管越来越多的证据表明注意力缺陷多动障碍的症状会持续到青少年时期，但对这一年龄段的注意力缺陷多动障碍患者的感官处理能力的研究却十分有限。本研究旨在评估患有多动症和未患有多动症的青少年在自我感官体验方面的差异。138名年龄在14至18岁之间的意大利青少年（M=16.20；SD= ± 1.90）参加了这项研究。69名患有多动症的参与者与69名发育正常的参与者在性别、年龄和智商方面进行了配对。所有参与者的感官处理能力都通过青少年感官档案（ASP）进行了评估，评估内容包括：低登记、感官寻求、感官敏感和感官回避。此外，还对 ASP 的模式进行了测量：运动、视觉、触觉、活动水平、听觉和味觉/嗅觉。结果表明，与对照组相比，多动症组在感官特征的所有四个方面都显示出较高的得分。多动症受试者在所有 ASP 模式中的得分也高于对照组。这些结果证实了患有多动症的青少年存在非典型感官处理能力，并结合累积性和突发性自动缺陷模型（CEAD）进行了讨论。
