Many people with Autism experience sensory seeking behaviors. They may be highly sensitive to sensory issues and avoid all sensory activities or they may actually seek certain sensory activities. Each person can be unique in their own way.
People with Autism may be over or under sensitive to any activities including our seven senses which include:
- sight
- sound
- touch
- smell
- taste
- body awareness
- balance
