Abstract

Differences in visual sensory sensitivity/reactivity are documented in autism and ADHD. Measuring these differences could guide interventions and accommodations, improving quality of life. No current self-report questionnaires focus specifically on the range of affective and behavioural responses to visual stimuli reported in autism and ADHD. This study aimed to develop such a measure (ViPro-SR) for neurodivergent adults. Using online survey responses, psychometric properties of ViPro-SR were assessed, including factor structure, gender-related measurement invariance, internal consistency reliability and validity. An 11-item, stable 3-factor solution was derived, with factors representing: hypersensitivity to contrast, detail focus, and peripheral vision activation. Internal consistency reliability was satisfactory for the total scale (ω = 0.85) and each subscale (ω > 0.70). Evidence towards convergent validity of ViPro-SR was provided through highly significant, moderate to strong correlations with existing sensory measures. Discriminative validity was supported by significant differences in ViPro-SR total scores between autistic/ADHD groups and a not autistic/ADHD comparison group. ViPro-SR is a psychometrically sound instrument, currently recommended for subscale-level scoring, that could inform visual sensory accommodations and contribute to a research toolkit.

Cited bibliography overview

These indicators describe the bibliography cited by this publication. An author name is counted each time it appears in one cited reference, so the same person can be counted more than once. Names not yet linked to an author already present in AutiHub are treated as unknown, not as non-autistic. Last computed: 19 Sep 2026 01:01.
