Heterogeneity of Sensory Features in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Challenges and Perspectives for Future ResearchMirko Uljarević, Grace Baranek, Giacomo Vivanti, Darren Hedley, Kristelle Hudry, and Alison LaneAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a highly diverse condition and it remains difficult to predict the likely outcomes for individuals on the basis of early characteristics.
