Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive or restricted behaviors. Many autistic children also experience sensory processing abnormalities, including hypersensitivity (strong reactions to certain sounds, textures, lights, etc.) or hyposensitivity (seeking intense stimulation, low reactivity to sensations). Despite affecting up to 90% of children with ASD, these sensory issues are still too often overlooked in intervention protocols.
