Abstract: | We identified clusters of atypical sensory functioning adults with ASC by hierarchical cluster analysis. A new scale for commonly self-reported sensory reactivity was used as a measure. In a low frequency group (n?=?37), all subscale scores were relatively low, in particular atypical sensory/motor reactivity. In the intermediate group (n?=?17) hyperreactivity, sensory interests and sensory/motor issues were significantly elevated in relation to the first group, but not hyporeactivity. In a high frequency subgroup (n?=?17) all subscale scores were significantly elevated and co-occurrence of hyper- and hyporeactivity was evident. In a population sample, a cluster of low scorers (n?=?136) and high scorers relative to the other cluster (n?=?26) was found. Identification of atypical sensory reactivity is important for targeting support. |
