TWiN 51: Sensory processing dysfunction in autism spectrum disorders

TWiN reviews altered somatosensory reactivity, which is frequently observed among individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and in mouse models the developmental timing of aberrant touch processing can predict the manifestation of ASD-associated behaviors in mouse models.

- Who Am I? -
I’m Vincent Racaniello, Earth’s Virology Professor, and I believe that education should be free.
I’m also a professor of virology at Columbia University in New York. I’ve been doing research on viruses since 1976, and teaching virology in classrooms and online since 1999. On this CZcams channel I share videos of my lectures, podcasts, and more.
New videos are uploaded several times each week.

Talking of hypersensitivity to touch and a shocking puff my relative with autism can NOT tolerate the puff of air when doing an eye exam.

[@marklemont3735]

My daughter could not wear blue jeans. Only elastic band velour type fabrics.

[@tonaruch8623]

Vivian, yes you had talked about touch and sensitivity in a recent TWIN

[@torrentialrage]

This Week in Autism when

[@tonaruch8623]

Keep them coming. This is interesting and pertinent to my family.

[@Debramuise]

3 of my 5 adult sons have autism as well as 1 teenage grandson. They all have sensory issues and extreme anxiety. Our genes only found one connected gene with autism. As well I’ve noticed that their comfort with socialization is sometimes determined by the reciprocity of others. It’s difficult for them to find someone who wants to listen to their interests. Could this be the same for mice? Maybe the mouse they’re being asked to interact with isn’t interesting.

[@viviannemorrison861]

Very interesting point! It is definitely something that we should keep in mind as we understand more about how our socialization assays can be used to study these complex aspects of interactions across time.

[@noreenquinn3844]

would any of this information have implications for treatment of psychosis in autistic adults. GABA potentiation medication versus anti- psychotics?
Treatment with fish oils can help autistic patients sometimes. Is this due to a GABA effect?

[@viviannemorrison861]

I’ll have to look into that!

[@noreenquinn3844]

@@viviannemorrison861 thank you

[@palbergstrom]

Do you see or acknowledge a link between autism and vaccines?

[@jaredmonkman3435]

No

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

AUSPUDS is horrific to imagine yet alone the reality. Take a break - maybe go for a brisk walk, take in some fresh air, or watch some happy healthy wildlife. 😊
