Behavioral, perceptual, and neural alterations in sensory and multisensory function in autism spectrum disorder
Open accessAbstract
Although sensory processing challenges have been noted since the first clinical descriptions of autism, it has taken until the release of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) in 2013 for sensory problems to be included as part of the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the diagnostic profile. Because sensory information forms the building blocks for higher-order social and cognitive functions, we argue that sensory processing is not only an additional piece of the puzzle, but rather a critical cornerstone for characterizing and understanding ASD. In this review we discuss what is currently known about sensory processing in ASD, how sensory function fits within contemporary models of ASD, and what is understood about the differences in the underlying neural processing of sensory and social communication observed between individuals with and without ASD. In addition to highlighting the sensory features associated with ASD, we also emphasize the importance of multisensory processing in building perceptual and cognitive representations, and how deficits in multisensory integration may also be a core characteristic of ASD.

TL;DR
This review argues that sensory and multisensory processing alterations are a core, underappreciated cornerstone of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), not merely an additional symptom. It synthesizes behavioral, perceptual, and neural evidence showing both unisensory differences and multisensory integration deficits that may cascade into social-communicative and cognitive symptoms.
Key findings
- Sensory abnormalities are highly prevalent in ASD, reported in up to 87% of individuals, and were formally included in the DSM-5 diagnostic profile in 2013; the paper cites an ASD incidence of 1 in 68 children, and as high as 1 in 42 for boys.
- ASD shows a simple/complex dissociation: intact or enhanced processing of simple stimuli (e.g., pitch, first-order visual features, some tactile thresholds) but difficulties with complex stimuli (e.g., second-order visual features, speech/prosody, face and object processing). In Järvinen-Pasley studies, individuals with ASD outperformed typically developing peers on pitch perception but underperformed on sentence content.
- Multisensory integration is reduced in ASD beyond what unisensory performance predicts: less benefit from visible speech in noise, diminished McGurk fusion, reduced sound-induced flash illusion, delayed rubber-hand and crossed-hand illusion effects, and altered audiovisual temporal acuity. EEG studies report decreased multisensory integration as early as 100 ms, with 100–130 ms effects correlated with clinical severity, and weaker/delayed auditory-somatosensory integration around 175 ms.
- Neural findings include reduced functional and structural connectivity, atypical face/voice/STS/FFA responses, reduced GABA in auditory/motor and frontal cortex, and excitation/inhibition imbalance; approximately 30% of individuals with ASD report seizures, and 50–70% of children with ASD show abnormal electrical activity during sleep.
Methods
- Design: narrative review of behavioral, perceptual, neuroimaging (fMRI, DTI, resting-state), EEG/ERP, and plasticity/remediation literature on sensory and multisensory function in ASD.
- Data or sample: no primary sample; synthesizes published studies comparing individuals with ASD and typically developing controls, including children and adults.
- Main analysis: qualitative synthesis and theoretical framing within theory of mind, weak central coherence, predictive coding, reduced sensory precision/reliability, excitation/inhibition imbalance, and temporal binding hypotheses.
Limitations
- Stated in the paper: ASD sensory research often focuses on a single sense or a small subset of tasks, limiting generalization; no strong consensus exists on a unifying theory of ASD; resting-state fMRI studies are confounded by motion and data-scrubbing artifacts; sensory integration therapy is based on subjective therapist judgments; better empirical characterization and computational modeling are needed.
- Stated in the paper: ASD heterogeneity and difficulty parsing sensory contributions from attention, executive function, and social-cognitive factors complicate interpretation.
- Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it does not systematically search or quantify the literature, conduct a meta-analysis, or present primary data to test causal claims.

This supports the description of intact performance for emotional voices in the auditory-only condition. (LLM, conf=0.91)

“Using simple sensory (auditory and visual) stimuli, Green et al. (2013) found increased activation in individuals with ASD in both primary sensory cortices as well as in the amygdala, hippocampus, and orbital-frontal cortex, suggesting that changes in sensory function have a cascading impact on…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-08, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-08 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
