了解嗅觉异常的性质对于自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的最佳干预至关重要。然而，以前研究ASD儿童气味识别的研究产生了不一致的结果。正确识别气味的能力在很大程度上依赖于普通人群的视觉输入。我们对八名患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童和八名年龄匹配的典型发育（TD）儿童进行了气味识别测试。在确认所有的儿童都能够识别每种气味没有视觉输入，我们测量气味识别视觉干扰条件下。所有ASD儿童的气味识别都受到视觉干扰物的阻碍，但所有TD儿童的气味识别都不受影响。我们的研究结果提高了对ASD气味识别的理解。
Understanding the nature of olfactory abnormalities is crucial for optimal interventions in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, previous studies that have investigated odor identification in children with ASD have produced inconsistent results. The ability to correctly identify an odor relies heavily on visual inputs in the general population. We tested odor identification in eight children with ASD and eight age-matched children with typical development (TD). After confirming that all children were able to identify each odor without visual input, we measured odor identification under the visual-distractor condition. Odor identification was hindered by visual distractors for all children with ASD but was not affected in all children with TD. Our results improve understanding of odor identification in ASD.
