Key Facts About Asperger Syndrome Every Parent Should Know

Sensory Issues

People with Asperger’s are often sensitive to by sensory objects and may become hypervigilant to certain sounds and sights. For example, a buzzing noise that goes unnoticed by other people may be bothersome to a child with Asperger’s. Lights that are bright, blinking, or flashing are common instigators, and people with Asperger's can be bothered by items that are not in a certain order or pattern. Another obstacle for people with Asperger’s is clothing. They may find the sensation of fabric against their skin to be so irritating and distracting they cannot focus on anything else.
