I understand that they get them but what happens exactly to them?
In: Biology
As an auti myself, this is such a weird concept that neurotypicals don’t receive everything like this. Picture your brain has a giant filter that can order the stimuli you receive in the correct order of importance and relevance. Most people with autism don’t have such a filter or its pretty damaged. So every sound, noise, taste, what you see comes in all at the same time and your brain decides that everything is equally important. Now imagine working at register in a walk trough buffet, there’s like 50people, at least 2 kids screaming, cookingtimers beeping, the oven alarming, the sound of bean grinding coffeemachines and the register making a noise, people comversating loudly. and me at that register trying to greet costumers while i have to re and refilter what happens every second and sometimes my filter freezes and it causes panic attacks and just …. it’s not fun. Hope this gives a good image.
