Sensory sensitivities are a common aspect of autism spectrum disorder, impacting how individuals perceive and respond to sensory input. In this blog post, we delve into the world of sensory sensitivities and explore how Autism Care offers specialized support to nurture comfort and well-being for individuals on the autism spectrum.
