CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Many autistic people experience hypersensitivity to bright lights or certain light wavelengths (e.g., LED or fluorescent lights). Certain sounds, smells, textures and tastes can also be overwhelming. This can result in sensory avoidance – trying to get away from stimuli that most people can easily tune out.

Detailed explanation-2: -Our brains have allocated more brain resources in the areas associated with visual detection resulting in visual hypersensitivity. Specifically, autistics have more brain resources associated with visual detection and identification (but less activity in the areas used to plan and control thoughts and actions).

Detailed explanation-3: -About 90% of ASD individuals have atypical sensory experiences, described as both hyper-and hypo-reactivity, with abnormal responses to tactile stimulation representing a very frequent finding.

Detailed explanation-4: -They found that the brains of autistic children generate more information while at rest than those of non-autistic people. There was an average increase in brain activity of 42% in children with autism. The result may explain why children with ASD do not typically show an interest in the surrounding world.
