Sight

Around 19% of autistic people experience some form of sensory difference with their vision and, in some cases, this can cause them physical pain.

Under responsive

A person with an under-responsive sense of sight may seek experiences to boost the visual input they are receiving.

They may be captivated by small details, unnoticed by others, or be found staring into light sources. Patterns or colours may be fascinating.

TIPS TO REDUCE ANXIETY

  • A seeker may find that night lights help them sleep.
  • Rainstick sensory toys and various apps like Magic Fluids Lite or Magma are great for those seeking more visual input.
  • Outlining or highlighting words can help aid focus when reading.

Over sensitive

Someone with over-sensitive sight may find it difficult to use or maintain eye contact.

What can appear rudeness, may actually be a reluctance to participate in an action which can causes them physical pain and anxiety.

TIPS TO REDUCE ANXIETY

  • Lower lighting.
  • Reduce glare.
  • Ease up on eye contact.
