Sensory processing at 18 months is associated with social challenges at 3 years
These findings highlight the potential value of assessing sensory processing in young children to improve early identification of ASD risk. Incorporating sensory processing evaluation into screening protocols may provide a new perspective and enhance the accuracy of early detection efforts, enabling earlier intervention and support for children with ASD and their families.
