PY - 2015 DA - 2015/10/28 TI - About Face: Evaluating and Managing Tactile Impairment at the Time of Autism Diagnosis SP - 612507 VL - 2015 AB - Evaluation for sensory impairment is a routine part of autism diagnosis. Sensory impairment of hearing, vision, or touch results in developmental delay and must be addressed before delay can resolve. Recent studies confirm that tactile impairment is present in autism and can be effectively treated with a tactile stimulation protocol. The research suggests a change in management at the time of autism diagnosis to include evaluation and treatment of tactile impairment. Here we validate screening and management tool for tactile impairment, the Autism Touch and Self-Regulation Checklist, in 404 typical and autistic preschool children. The tool assesses tactile impairment by location and severity. Autistic children were distinguished by mixed pain and numbness on multiple areas including the face and mouth ( F = 412.1（1,402）; P. < 。 000. ）。口腔面部触觉损伤干扰了定向的触觉刺激。我们假设口腔触觉障碍和难度取向是预测ASD的，并且触觉障碍的严重程度是预测ASD的严重程度。评估口腔面部和定向反应的问题正确预测了91％的自闭症组。触觉损伤的严重程度正确预测了81％的轻微与严重ASD。结果强调了在自闭症诊断时评估和治疗触觉障碍的重要性。SN - 2090-1925 UR - https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/612507 do - 10.1155 / 2015/612507 jf - 自闭症研究和治疗Pb - Hindwi Publishing Corporation KW - ER -
