Salience Network Connectivity in Autism Is Related to Brain and Behavioral Markers of Sensory Overresponsivity

Results support an association between intrinsic brain connectivity and specific atypical brain responses during information processing. In addition, findings suggest that basic sensory information is overly salient to individuals with SOR, leading to overattribution of attention to this information. Implications for intervention include incorporating sensory coping strategies into social interventions for individuals with SOR.
