Then there's the sensory intensity experienced by so many autistic people, which can lead to real distress, especially in certain environments.
It can feel almost as though the middle range of our ‘feeling and experiencing’ dial has been taken out.

Autism often involves this hyper–hypo pattern; very intense experience in some areas, and very reduced experience in others. But hypo-responsiveness can at times be a response to feeling too much, and (instinctively, as a survival mechanism) withdrawing in self-defence. 7/10
