Many people still don’t understand the sensory challenges of individuals with autism or how they might present themselves. If someone in your life is on the spectrum, understanding what they’re going through can make a big difference. Let’s take a closer look at the sensory challenges people with ASD face and the impact those challenges can have on their daily lives.

Communication is also one of the main things that autism spectrum disorder  (ASD) impacts. ASD is typically thought to be a children’s disorder, but as many as 2.21% of adults in the United States are living with it. ASD can cause struggles with cues, interactions, and self-expression. This makes daily life significantly more challenging.

ADHD and ASD share overlapping symptoms, making accurate diagnosis challenging for even experienced clinicians. Understanding these factors will help you gain valuable insights into how to advocate for proper assessment and support for those affected by these often misunderstood conditions.
