Sensory Needs in Children with Autism

[@kafka9627]

To parents of autistic kids: I also strongly recommend connecting with adult autistic people! Especially locally. They might be able to give you more information on solutions - and give you tips on local autism friendly environments as well as warn about inaccessible places! For an example, I am an adult autistic person. Because of this, I know which parks have too much car noise from roads close by, or too many people - and which parks are more secluded. I know which malls have more and less echo, and feel more or less overwhelming. We can give so much tips and advice and many of us are very happy to help give your kid the accessibilized childhood that many of us never got

Slow gentle touch is a key mechanism in the neurodevelopment of the social brain. It stimulates the C-tactile Afferent fibres in the Touch sensory system. Stimulation of the C-tactile fibres stimulates up to 13 out of 24 brain regions. Apparently in autism, slow gentle touch doesn't stimulate the social brain as strongly or that their touch sense is too hypersensitive to receive this input to develop the social brain These brain regions are called: - amygdala - Insula - dorsal anterior cingulate cortex - orbitofrontal cortex - dorsomedial prefrontal cortex - ventrolateral prefrontal cortex - frontal operculum - right temporoparietal junction - left temporoparietal junction - angular gyrus - superior temporal gyrus - fusiform gyrus - right posterior superior temporal sulcus Stimulating the c-tactile fibres develops: - the empathy circuit - face-to face social interaction - social behaviour - understanding and following social norms - interoception - self-awareness - mirror neuron function - putting yourself in someone else's shoes by metaphorically projecting yourself outward onto that person's position - self-other differentiation - body awareness - readng people's intentions - interest in socializing - the social side of the parasympathetic nervous system - the capacity of the default mode network to deactivate when it needs to deactivate - the salience network also known as the social affiliation network - This is a gamechanger mechanism. It is a key component in developing the capacity to be social beings

Thats messed up. Those people are childish and insecure lol I recently started a career working with young children with autism and I absolutely love it! They are all so unique and smart. I have a lot of respect for the job and people with autism. I don’t think I’m “normal” or smarter than they are as society likes us to think when people don’t fit into a certain box like everyone else lol I am sure you are an awesome individual who will do amazing things in life..as for the people who don’t respect your wishes..leave em mid convo with their loud mouths still tapping away 👋🏾lol sorry for the long rant. I hope you’re doing well. Many blessings to you and your loved ones 🙏🏾❤️🥰
