Extreme Sensory Problems
Autism can lead to some sensory dysfunctions. Therefore, people with both low and high functioning form can experience many sensory issues. These include extreme, moderate, or mild sensitivity to touch, smells, strong tastes, bright lights, crowds, or noise. When they are exposed to these triggers, many health issues might occur and affect both their mental and physical conditions. That is also one of the reasons why people with high functioning autism tend to withdraw from social interaction. [2]
