Abstract

This study examined the sensory profile of three groups of children (those with visual impairment, typical development or autism spectrum disorder) aged 3 to 12. The principal aim was to find out whether the Sensory Profile (SP) of children with visual impairment was a good predictor of behaviors typical of ASD. The data was collected through a sensory profile filled out by parents of 37 visually impaired children, 30 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 42 with typical development (TD). To assess the risk of ASD, the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) was also administered. The results indicate that children with visual impairment are at increased risk of exhibiting signs of ASD, and that the sensory profile is a good predictor of risk of autistic signs in children with visual impairment. This study provides for the first time strong evidence for the need to systematically assess the sensory profile in children with visual impairment.

视障儿童类似自闭症的社会交流障碍和感官特征：与自闭症谱系障碍的相似之处和不同之处。

本研究调查了三组 3 至 12 岁儿童（视力障碍儿童、典型发育障碍儿童或自闭症谱系障碍儿童）的感官特征。主要目的是了解视障儿童的感官档案（SP）是否能很好地预测自闭症谱系障碍的典型行为。数据是通过 37 名视障儿童（其中 30 名患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD），42 名患有典型发育障碍（TD））的家长填写的感官档案收集的。为了评估自闭症谱系障碍的风险，还进行了社会交流问卷调查（SCQ）。研究结果表明，视力障碍儿童出现自闭症征兆的风险增加，而感官特征能很好地预测视力障碍儿童出现自闭症征兆的风险。这项研究首次提供了强有力的证据，证明有必要对视障儿童的感官特征进行系统评估。
