that children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) process
sensory information such as sound, touch and vision differently
than typically developing children is published in Autism
Research. Click on this link to see Dr. Sophie Molholm, Director
of the Children's Research Unit, associate professor in the

Integration. Clink on link to read about the study in an

further media coverage, including an interview with Dr. Sophie
Molholm in Scientific American on how kids with Autism integrate
sensory information at a slower rate than typically developing
