About this screener — evidence, source, what inspired it
Sensory processing differences are common in autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental conditions and are part of DSM-5-TR autism criterion B4. This questionnaire profiles the three patterns most often described in occupational therapy practice to guide environmental adjustments.
Evidence · unvalidated
This is an OpenScreener original instrument. Its thresholds are provisional, set by expert judgement rather than population norms, and have not yet been validated. Treat results as a structured record of concerns, not a score with known sensitivity or specificity.
