The Other Autism

Sensory Processing Differences and Autism


Listen Later

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
