This study examined the relationship between the strength of autistic traits and within and across sensory information processing. We measured characteristics of sensory processing for multiple senses (vision, audition, and touch) and autistic traits for a large sample without the diagnosis. We found that Autistic sub-traits such as communication and social skills have a unique relationship with sensory processing like tactile detection sensitivity and temporal characteristics of audiovisual interactions. These findings suggest that unique sensory processing may underlie behind each autistic sub-traits.
