Background Girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may exhibit the key diagnostic criteria for ASD differently to boys. One of those key diagnostic criteria is Restricted and Repetitive Behaviours, a subset of which is Sensory Features (SF). The current study aimed to investigate the presence of detailed sex-based differences in SF in samples of boys and girls with ASD. Methods The comparative SF profiles of an age- and IQ-matched sample of 51 boys and 51 girls aged from 6 years to 18 years with a formal diagnosis of ASD were investigated via the four Quadrants and the 14 subscale scores obtained from the Sensory Profile (SP) completed by the parents of these children. Results There was a trend for significant sex-based difference on only one of the 18 SP subscales (Sensory Processing Related to Endurance/Tone), and boys had significantly higher scores than girls on only one of the nine items comprising that subscale, which was about upon movement flexibility. Conclusions These findings suggest that sex-based differences in SF for boys and girls with ASD are yet to be determined and appear to be restricted to a relatively small section of SF behaviours related to movement. Possible explanations for these differences and implications for clinical practice are discussed. |
