Sex differences in Sensory Features between boys and girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder

摘要

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.
