autism and sensory processing

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Sensory processing refers to how the brain receives and responds to sensory information from the environment, including sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. People with autism often have atypical sensory processing, experiencing heightened or diminished sensitivity to sensory stimuli, which can impact their daily functioning and may contribute to challenges in social interactions and communication.
