Understanding Sensory Sensitivities in Autism.

Sound:

Some children who are not very sensitive to noise might raise the

music volume or speak loudly.While on the other hand some kids who are highly sensitive to noise ma

y cover their ears to drown out loud sounds. It's important to be mindful of the different ways children with sensory sensitivities react to sound.

Taste:

Some children with heightened sensitivity to taste may enjoy consuming bold-flavored foods such as onions or hot sauce, while others who are overly sensitive may have specific preferences regarding the texture of their food and may not enjoy certain types of food. It's important to understand and respect the different preferences and needs of each child when it comes to taste and food.

Touch:

It's worth noting that some children with sensory sensitivity may prefer

certain textures and actively seek them out. In contrast, some children may be highly sensitive, and the labels inside their clothing may cause discomfort, leading them to take their clothes off. It's essential to be mindful of these differences and find ways to make the child feel comfortable and supported

Sight:

It's important to create a safe and comfortable environment for all children, especially those with sensory sensitivities. By being understanding and accommodating their needs, we can help them thrive and feel supported. When it comes to sight, it's important to be mindful of how sensitive children react to their surroundings. Some may be drawn to bright colors, while others may struggle with sunlight or glare. Providing a comfortable environment that takes into account each child's individual sensitivities can make a big difference.

Smell:

Smell is another sense that can greatly affect children with sensory sensitivities. Children with different sensitivities may react in different ways to smells. Some children may be very sensitive and sniff everything, while others may be overly sensitive and complain about certain smells like deodorants or perfumes. In some cases, they may even detect odors that no one else can. It's important to be aware of these differences and be understanding and accommodating of each child's individual needs. By creating a comfortable and supportive environment, we can help children with sensory sensitivities thrive.
