I understand that they get them but what happens exactly to them?

I have an autistic son. He is very high func but has a hard time explaining it to me in exact words. But I know it has to do with your brain takes in SO much information at once. But most normal brains filter out a lot of that info. However, an autistic brain does not filter it out very much or at all.
So he hears every little sound from the buzz in the lights, to the hum of the AC, to your breathing, to his own breathing, etc. then he also feels everything very strongly from his clothing on his skin, to the breeze on his skin, to his hair touching his skin. So on and so forth. All senses are very heightened all the time.
Its why they sometimes get irritable very easily because its a lot to deal with. Its also why wearing headphones to damp out the noise helps. Its also why say playing a game on your phone is good because they can heavily focus on that one game and try to block out the other things as best they can.
