自闭症儿童的父母经常报告说，他们的孩子对感官体验表现出不寻常的反应。然而，很少有研究描述父母和孩子的文化和环境如何影响父母对孩子行为的报告。这项研究比较了以色列和美国这两个国家的儿童家长报告的感官体验反应的频率。我们向患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的儿童的主要照顾者和典型发育中的同龄人进行了简短的感觉档案。结果表明，以色列父母对自闭症谱系障碍儿童和正常发育儿童的感官体验的异常反应频率低于美国父母。与以色列患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童相比，美国患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童在听觉过滤和视觉/听觉敏感性领域表现出明显更大的困难。这些发现表明需要进一步探讨文化和环境对照顾者对自闭症儿童感官体验反应的影响。
Parents of children with autism frequently report that their children exhibit unusual responses to sensory experiences. Little research is available, however, describing how parents' and children's culture and environment might influence parents' reports of their children's behaviors. This study compared the frequency of parent-reported responses to sensory experiences in children from two countries-Israel and the United States. We administered the Short Sensory Profile to primary caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and typically developing peers. Results indicate that Israeli parents reported unusual responses to sensory experiences less frequently than U.S. parents for both ASD and typically developing children. U.S. children with ASD demonstrated significantly greater difficulty in the Auditory Filtering and Visual/Auditory Sensitivity domains than Israeli children with ASD. These findings indicate a need to further explore the influence of culture and environment on caregiver perceptions of the responses to sensory experiences of children with ASD.
