| Résumé : |
Although sensory hypersensitivity is not one of the triad of core symptoms in autism, changes in sensory responses are a well-known and sometimes even debilitating aspect of the disorder. Here, we review current studies that document the first-person experience of individuals with autism, and we document the findings of more experimental, psychophysical studies. We note that the sensory symptoms have widespread associations with emotional and social aspects of function and even with digestive symptoms. We present data from a recent study which explored the neural responses in the primary visual and auditory cortex and in the somatosensory cortex and revealed the inconsistency and increased noise in the neural profile of these regions in individuals with autism compared to control counterparts. Over the course of this chapter, we raise many more questions than answers and these concern the etiology and origin of these sensory changes as well as the impact of these sensory hypersensitivities on other aspects of cognitive and social function. We end by recognizing the urgent need for studies that assess and evaluate potential methods of intervention, and we note that a comprehensive meta-analysis of this domain is well overdue. |
