Understanding Sensory Experiences in Autism

Understand why everyday sensations can feel calming or overwhelming for autistic children.

This video explains how many autistic children experience the world through heightened or muted responses to sound, touch, movement, and other sensations. You’ll see how these sensory differences influence a child’s comfort, attention, and daily routines, as well as why certain environments may feel calming or overwhelming. The goal is to give parents a clearer understanding of these experiences so they can interpret their child’s reactions with more insight and steadiness.
