Sensory Differences and Autism: A Parent’s Guide
Many children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience the world differently through their senses. Sounds, textures, lights, movement, and touch can feel more intense, less noticeable, or simply different from their peers. These differences are known as sensory sensitivities, and understanding them can help parents and caregivers support their child best.
