Description
Autistic people process the world differently, and this difference can make it hard for us to feel comfortable in certain rooms and spaces. Around 90% of autistic people, across the spectrum, have sensory sensitivities (hypo and hyper sensitivities) which can impact how we are able to manage stress and anxiety.
Many autistic people struggle with the daily sensory bombardment 21st century life presents. Harsh lighting, overstimulating patterns, strong unnatural smells, rough/cold textures, loud noises and so forth can make daily life a challenge. This coupled with uncertainties and the unpredictable nature of the world can create a sense of isolation and anxiety.
