Purpose Sensory reactivity differences are a core feature of autism, but the experiences of autistic individuals with co-occurring intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) remain underrepresented in the literature. Methods This systematic review synthesizes findings from 29 studies that examined sensory reactivity in this population, including 15 studies of idiopathic autism and 14 studies of genetic syndromes associated with autism and IDD. Results Across both idiopathic and syndromic autism, sensory hyporeactivity emerged as a dominant phenotype, often co-occurring with elevated sensory seeking. Hyperreactivity, in contrast, was less prominent in this population compared to autistic individuals without IDD. However, contradictory findings were identified, particularly in studies comparing overall sensory reactivity across cognitive levels in idiopathic autism. Methodological factors likely contribute to these inconsistencies, as many studies relied on proxy-report questionnaires with aggregated sensory scores, while studies employing observational or multimethod approaches were more sensitive to differences in sensory reactivity profiles. Conclusion Together, these findings highlight the need for more inclusive, reliable measurement strategies, including adapted self-report tools and psychophysiological methods, to advance understanding of sensory reactivity in autistic individuals with IDD and ensure that research reflects the full spectrum of autistic experiences. |
