What causes autistics to experience pain & sensation so much more acutely?
In: 3
The autistic brain does not filter to the extent an allistic brain. Imagine if every sense you had was not filtered. You can always feel your clothes, you can always hear the lights, you can always see everything around you. It is overwhelming.
Between being overwhelmed with all of this and not being able to filter out whatever the stimulus is that is pushing you over the limit, the sensations seem much more dramatized.
