Abstract

This study evaluated attention, sensory processing, and social responsiveness and the relationship between these constructs among autistic and neurotypical adults. Participants included 24 autistic adults (17-30 years) and 24 neurotypical peers who completed the Test of Everyday Attention, Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP), and the Social Responsiveness Scale-2. Autistic individuals showed greater attention, sensory processing, and social responsiveness challenges compared to neurotypical peers. Using mediation models, we showed that the relationship between attention and social responsiveness was mediated by sensory processing, specifically the low registration and sensation-seeking AASP quadrants. The relationship between attention, sensory processing, and social responsiveness suggests that adults with greater attention issues may have greater sensory and social challenges. Specifically, having poor attention may lead to poor sensory processing skills which compound poor social responsiveness. Understanding the relationships between these domains is critical for developing effective interventions and support for autistic adults.

自闭症谱系成人的注意力、感官处理能力和社会反应能力之间的关系》（The Relationship Between Attention, Sensory Processing, and Social Responsiveness Among Adults on Autism Spectrum.

本研究评估了自闭症成年人和神经畸形成年人的注意力、感觉处理和社会反应能力，以及这些结构之间的关系。参与者包括 24 名自闭症成年人（17-30 岁）和 24 名神经畸形同龄人，他们完成了日常注意力测试、青少年/成年人感官档案（AASP）和社会反应能力量表-2。与神经正常的同龄人相比，自闭症患者在注意力、感觉处理和社会反应能力方面面临更大的挑战。通过中介模型，我们发现注意力和社会反应能力之间的关系是由感觉处理中介的，特别是低登记和寻求感觉的 AASP 象限。注意力、感觉处理和社会反应能力之间的关系表明，注意力问题较严重的成年人可能会面临更大的感觉和社会挑战。具体来说，注意力不集中可能会导致感官处理能力差，从而加重社交反应能力差的问题。了解这些领域之间的关系对于为成年自闭症患者制定有效的干预和支持措施至关重要。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders seeks to advance theoretical and applied research as well as examine and evaluate clinical diagnoses and treatments for autism and related disabilities. JADD encourages research submissions on the causes of ASDs and related disorders, including genetic, immunological, and environmental factors; diagnosis and assessment tools (e.g., for early detection as well as behavioral and communications characteristics); and prevention and treatment options. Sample topics include: Social responsiveness in young children with autism Advances in diagnosing and reporting autism Omega-3 fatty acids to treat autism symptoms Parental and child adherence to behavioral and medical treatments for autism Increasing independent task completion by students with autism spectrum disorder Does laughter differ in children with autism? Predicting ASD diagnosis and social impairment in younger siblings of children with autism The effects of psychotropic and nonpsychotropic medication with adolescents and adults with ASD Increasing independence for individuals with ASDs Group interventions to promote social skills in school-aged children with ASDs Standard diagnostic measures for ASDs Substance abuse in adults with autism Differentiating between ADHD and autism symptoms Social competence and social skills training and interventions for children with ASDs Therapeutic horseback riding and social functioning in children with autism Authors and readers of the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders include sch olars, researchers, professionals, policy makers, and graduate students from a broad range of cross-disciplines, including developmental, clinical child, and school psychology; pediatrics; psychiatry; education; social work and counseling; speech, communication, and physical therapy; medicine and neuroscience; and public health.
