Sensory Receptors and Their Relationship with Autism

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder is a brain disorder that begins early in life. It affects social communication and interaction and is accompanied by repetitive and narrow patterns of behavior or interest. Autism spectrum disorder is a cognitive disorder that includes the inability to associate the sensory experience with memory. In this context, the individual's use of receptor systems to obtain meaningful sensory information about their environment is a critical issue for the study and treatment of autism. The individual develops a harmonious interaction with his environment through sensory receptors such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. An autistic individual has serious adaptation problems and functional problems in using receptors. Clinical observations have extensively reported that distant receptors such as hearing and vision are avoided and close receptors such as touch, smell and taste are preferred. This type of atypical sensory-based behavior is a crucial feature of autism spectrum disorders. In this direction, the "document scanning - literature review" method was used for data collection in the study. The study presented a general perspective on sensory systems and their relationship with autism.

Duyu Reseptörleri ve Otizmle İlişkisi

Abstract

Otizm spektrum bozukluğu, yaşamın erken dönemlerinde başlayan bir beyin bozukluğudur. Sosyal iletişimi ve etkileşimi etkiler ve yinelenen ve dar davranış veya ilgi kalıpları eşlik eder. Otizm spektrum bozukluğu, duyusal deneyim ile hafızayı ilişkilendirememeyi içeren bilişsel bir bozukluk olarak nitelendirilmektedir. Bu bağlamda, bireyin çevresi hakkında anlamlı duyusal bilgiler elde etmek için alıcı sistemlerini kullanması, otizmin incelenmesi ve tedavisi için kritik bir konu oluşturmaktadır. Görme, işitme, dokunma, tatma ve koku alma gibi duyu reseptörlerinim kullanımı yoluyla birey çevresiyle uyumlu bir etkileşim geliştirir. Otistik bireyin derin uyum sorunları olmakta, reseptör kullanımında işlevsel açıdan sorun yaşmaktadır. Klinik gözlemler, işitme ve görme olarak uzak alıcılardan kaçınıldığını ve dokunma, koku ve tat gibi yakın alıcıların tercih edildiğini kapsamlı bir şekilde bildirmiştir. Bu tarz atipik duyusal temelli davranışlar, otizm spektrum bozukluklarının temel özelliğidir. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada veri toplama yolu olarak, "belge tarama - literatür tarama" yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan çalışmada duyusal sistemler ve otizmle ilişkisine genel bakış açısı sunmuştur.
