Many autistic children are hypersensitive to sound, touch, light, taste, and
even smell. Contrastingly other children with autism are under-sensitive to
stimuli like temperature and pain.
Understanding and accommodating sensory issues can help with discomfort
and improve your autistic child’s ability to learn, interact, and communicate.
Accommodation may mean changing the environment, using tools and
strategies, or creating new habits or routines.
