Abstract

Background: Among the current avenues of research into the origins and development of the autism spectrum, those concerning atypical levels of sensory responsiveness are gaining increasing relevance. Researchers note the relationship of sensory responsiveness in children on the autism spectrum to their motor, cognitive and social development. Current research reports combines the responsiveness to sensory stimuli also with the development of pretend play. Aim of this study was to verify the relationship between the level of development of pretend play and the level of sensory responsiveness in children on the autism spectrum.

Methods: A study was conducted in a group of 63 children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum aged from 3 years and 7 months to 9 years and 3 months using: Pretend Play subscale from the Theory of Mind Mechanism Scale and Sensory Experiences Questionnaire version 2.1.

Results: The results revealed that elevated sensory hyporesponsiveness predicted low pretend play skills in the group of participating children.

Conclusion: The study verified the contribution of the level of sensory hyporesponsiveness to explaining the atypical development of pretend play in children on the autism spectrum.

高感官反应阈值会影响自闭症谱系儿童装扮游戏的发展吗？

背景：在目前对自闭症谱系的起源和发展的研究中，有关非典型感觉反应水平的研究正变得越来越重要。研究人员注意到，自闭症谱系中儿童的感官反应能力与他们的运动、认知和社会发展之间的关系。目前的研究报告还将对感官刺激的反应能力与装扮游戏的发展结合起来。本研究旨在验证自闭症谱系儿童的假装游戏发展水平与感官反应能力水平之间的关系：研究对象是 63 名被诊断患有自闭症谱系的儿童，年龄从 3 岁 7 个月到 9 岁 3 个月不等：结果：研究结果表明，自闭症谱系儿童感觉缺失程度升高：结果表明，感官反应低下程度的升高预示着参与研究的儿童装扮游戏技能的低下：结论：本研究证实了感官低反应水平有助于解释自闭症谱系儿童假装游戏的非典型发展。

期刊介绍： Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders is an open access journal that integrates current, cutting-edge research across a number of disciplines, including neurobiology, genetics, cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry and psychology. The journal’s primary focus is on the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders including autism, fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, Turner Syndrome, 22q Deletion Syndrome, Prader-Willi and Angelman Syndrome, Williams syndrome, lysosomal storage diseases, dyslexia, specific language impairment and fetal alcohol syndrome. With the discovery of specific genes underlying neurodevelopmental syndromes, the emergence of powerful tools for studying neural circuitry, and the development of new approaches for exploring molecular mechanisms, interdisciplinary research on the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders is now increasingly common. Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders provides a unique venue for researchers interested in comparing and contrasting mechanisms and characteristics related to the pathogenesis of the full range of neurodevelopmental disorders, sharpening our understanding of the etiology and relevant phenotypes of each condition.
