| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We succeeded in the attempt to measure olfactory detection thresholds in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) similar to children with typical development (TD) using “Fragrance Jet for Medical Checkup” which resolve problems encountered in previous studies. As a result, olfactory detection thresholds of children with ASD were significantly higher than those of TD children with both odor of banana and pineapple. We also confirmed the response to some odors in children with ASD is different from that of TD by using Multi-channel Near-infrared Spectroscopy.
