Autism and Sensory Processing

Autism and Sensory Processing explores the vital connection between the autistic experience and how the brain interprets the world through the senses. For many individuals on the autism spectrum, everyday sights, sounds, textures, smells, and movements can feel overwhelming, confusing, or even painful. This eBook sheds light on why sensory processing challenges are at the heart of many behaviors commonly associated with autism.

Inside this compassionate and informative guide, you'll discover:
