"The typical features of fragile X syndrome (FXS) i.e. hand biting, hand flapping, poor eye contact, shyness, and social anxiety are probably related to the sensory hyperarousal that has been documented by many investigators including Belser and Sudhalter (1995), Miller et al. (1999), and Roberts et al.(2002). These features are often also referred to as autistic-like features because they can be seen in individuals who have autism without fragile X. Most children with fragile X, however, are interested in social interactions and do not meet the diagnostic criteria for autism."

Abstract--The autistic child's presumed preference for proximal rather than distal sensory input was studied by requiring that autistic, retarded, and normal subjects adapt to a prism-induced lateral displacement of the visual field. Only autistic subjects demonstrated transfer of adaptation to the nonadapted hand, indicative of a reliance on proprioception rather than vision to accomplish adaptation. Such reliance on proprioception was explained as an alternative strategy compensating for an inability to use current visual control of reaching rather than as a preference for proximal information per se.
