Résumé

L'atypicalité tactile chez les personnes atteintes de trouble du spectre de l'autisme (TSA) a des effets néfastes sur leur vie quotidienne, y compris sur les interactions sociales. Cependant, on ignore si l'atypicalité tactile dans le TSA reflète des processus perceptifs et/ou autonomes. Nous montrons ici que les adultes atteints de TSA présentent une hypersensibilité aux stimuli tactiles dans le domaine autonome, mais non dans le domaine perceptif. En particulier, les adultes atteints de TSA ont montré une réponse de conductance cutanée (SCR) plus importante aux stimuli tactiles que les adultes au développement typique (TD), malgré l'absence de différences dans les réponses subjectives. En outre, le niveau de la SCR était corrélé à la sensibilité sensorielle dans la vie quotidienne. En revanche, dans des tâches discriminatives perceptives qui mesuraient psychophysiquement les seuils aux stimuli tactiles, aucune différence n'a été constatée entre les groupes TSA et TD. Ces résultats favorisent l'hypothèse selon laquelle un traitement autonome atypique sous-tend l'hypersensibilité tactile dans le TSA.

Tactile atypicality in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has harmful effects on their everyday lives including social interactions. However, whether tactile atypicality in ASD reflects perceptual and/or autonomic processes is unknown. Here, we show that adults with ASD have hypersensitivity to tactile stimuli in the autonomic but not perceptual domain. In particular, adults with ASD showed a greater skin conductance response (SCR) to tactile stimuli compared to typically developing (TD) adults, despite an absence of differences in subjective responses. Furthermore, the level of the SCR was correlated with sensory sensitivity in daily living. By contrast, in perceptual discriminative tasks that psychophysically measured thresholds to tactile stimuli, no differences were found between the ASD and TD groups. These results favor the hypothesis that atypical autonomic processing underlies tactile hypersensitivity in ASD.
