"If I get sensory overload then I just shut down you get what's known as 's weird, like being tuned into 40 TV channels." This can result in withdrawal, distressed behaviour or meltdowns. Too much information can cause stress, anxiety, and possibly physical pain. A person who finds it difficult to process everyday sensory information can experience sensory overload, or information overload. Sometimes an autistic person may behave in a way that you wouldn't immediately link to sensory differences. You can also find out about synaesthesia, therapies and equipment. Here we help you to understand autism, the person and how to help. These sensory differences can affect how they feel and act, and can have a profound effect on a person’s life. Any of their senses may be over- or under-sensitive, or both, at different times. Processing everyday sensory information can be difficult for autistic people.
