INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the article is to examine the research that supports that children with

autism spectrum disorder differ in their behavioral patterns of responding to sensory stimuli

and in various other aspects of sensory functioning relative to typical peers. Previous research

has focused on behavioral patterns of responding to sensory stimuli in children with ASD. The

results showed that three atypical patterns of sensory responsiveness are prominent. This

included a decrease or absence of behavioral responses to sensory stimuli, exaggerated

behavioral responses, and unusual fascination with or craving of sensory stimuli (Feldman et

al.,

2018). Neuroscientists and clinicians share an interest in sensory differences in children with

ASD. However, there have been little research that relate empirically to this topic. The study

aims to answer whether speech perception and integration relate to patterns of atypical

sensory responsiveness in children with ASD.


METHODS AND PARTICIPANTS


With assistance from The Vanderbilt University Institutional Review Board approval

was given for recruitment and study procedures (Feldman et al., 2018). Parents gave written

informed consent, and participants provided written agreements prior to participation in the

study. All children were given compensation for participating. Participants included 18 children

with ASD and 18 typically developing controls (Feldman et al., 2018). Requirements to be apart
