Autism and Learning: Difference in Sensory Processing Proven by Researchers

Researchers have confirmed what parents and professionals have known for years: autistics have an impaired ability to process sensory information. Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine were able to map an autistic brain with a neurotypical subject's brain using an EEG. They found that not only was there a significant difference in how sound and vibration were processed, but there was a delay for sensory information in general reaching the brain.

This information is especially valuable in determining appropriate therapies for parents and other care providers, as it points to a definity therapeutical direction.
