Understanding Sensory Differences in Autism: Insights from expert, Dr. Olga Bogdashina
Jun 16, 2023
Let's dive into the fascinating topic of sensory processing differences in autistic children. You might have noticed that many autistic kids have unique sensory difficulties. There are many theories why that shed light on the subject. One such theory is the "Intense World Syndrome," suggesting that autistic individuals experience overwhelming sensations, making lights and sounds seem extra bright and loud all the time!
Part of this theory includes understanding sensory overload and sensory deprivation. Sensory overload occurs when a person is overloaded in 'normal' situations, causing difficulties with social interactions and communication. Sensory deprivation occurs when a child or individual shuts down their senses to avoid painful experiences.
Gaining a better understanding of sensory differences in your autistic child is critical. It will help parents understand their child's behaviors and can help them set up accommodation to help their child be more comfortable in the world we live in.
