What this Trial Is About
There are many studies in the literature that study the sensory profile of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which can essentially have three types of behavior: (1) Registration, (2) Seeking, (3) Sensitivity, and (4) Avoiding. However, there are few studies dedicated to the study of the sensory profile of children with autism. A child's sensory profile is closely related to the way they deal with the world and their social interaction. The existence of tools that allow the study of the behavioral response to the sounds of children with autism spectrum disorder, will allow the application of targeted therapies in the future. Therapies targeted and adjusted to each profile observed in these children will allow to attenuate these maladjusted behavioral responses, or even overcome these deficits, if there is an early and precise intervention.
