Autistic children have problems with their senses. Their brain and muscles are either hyperstimulated or are not stimulated properly.

Thanks to modern research, sensory toys are now available that can regulate the sensation of touch, balance, texture, smell, and hearing and also aid in verbal and nonverbal communication in your autistic child.

What are the issues in autistic children related to senses?

An autistic child can be hypersensitive to various stimuli like smell, sound, texture, taste, etc or he can be hyposensitive. In both cases, there are devices or toys to energize the child and activate their neuronal circuit. For hypersensitive cases, sensory toys can make children relax.

It has to be remembered that toys are just an aid to autism treatment. Autistic children should remain under the guidance of an experienced occupational therapist
