焦虑症和感觉过度反应（SOR）在自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童中很常见，有证据表明这两种疾病之间存在关联。目前，尚不清楚SOR与焦虑之间可能存在哪些因果机制。我们提出了三种可能的理论来解释焦虑和SOR之间的关联：（a）SOR是由焦虑引起的;（B）焦虑是由SOR引起的;或（c）SOR和焦虑是因果无关的，但通过共同的风险因素或诊断重叠相关联。在本文中，我们研究了现有的焦虑，自闭症和神经科学文献中对每个理论的支持，并讨论了每个理论如何告知干预措施的选择和对未来研究的影响。
Anxiety disorders and sensory over-responsivity (SOR) are common in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and there is evidence for an association between these two conditions. Currently, it is unclear what causal mechanisms may exist between SOR and anxiety. We propose three possible theories to explain the association between anxiety and SOR: (a) SOR is caused by anxiety; (b) Anxiety is caused by SOR; or (c) SOR and anxiety are causally unrelated but are associated through a common risk factor or diagnostic overlap. In this paper, we examine support for each theory in the existing anxiety, autism, and neuroscience literature, and discuss how each theory informs choice of interventions and implications for future studies.
