Did you know that most, if not all, autistic people have sensory processing differences and that many have some combination of hyper-reactivity and hypo-reactivity to different types of sensory stimuli? In this episode, I talk about sensory processing differences and how they could be THE core feature of autism.
Topics discussed also include:
- How sensory differences impact adaptive functioning
- Answering a listener question about my own sensory differences
- An overview of sensory seeking and stimming
