This study was carried out in an attempt to investigate the correlation between potential sensory processing disorders in individuals with Asperger syndrome (AS) and the perceptions of said disorders by their parents. The pilot study was implemented by creating two complementary surveys, one for people diagnosed with AS and one for their parents. The study, which involved 10 people with Asperger syndrome and 10 of their respective mothers, revealed how parents’ awareness about sensory issues encountered by their children in daily life shows only modest correlations when compared to their children’s reported lived experience. The analyses carried out showed that in most of the cases of this study, the answers of the parent/child are moderately in agreement, and yet some differences between the responses of the two groups are present. In particular, the degree of discomfort caused by different sensory stimuli (artificial brightness in a room, the noise of chairs moving on the floor, aircrafts noise, and switching from lighter to heavier clothing) and the amount of stimuli that are considered intolerable differed from parent to child. In fact, in their open answers individuals with an ASD diagnosis have indicated a higher number of disturbing sensory stimuli compared with those of their parents.
