Deep dives
Being aware of sensory issues and intense pain
Individuals with AS (Autism Spectrum) may experience sensory issues, leading them to perceive pain more intensely. While they may not jump to extreme conclusions about their health, unfamiliar symptoms like sore throats or persistent pain can prompt them to consider seeking medical advice. However, their difficulty lies in determining when it's necessary to visit a doctor, as non-specific symptoms make it challenging to gauge the severity. In such cases, individuals tend to resort to researching on the internet or seeking opinions from others, which can often be unsatisfactory and time-consuming.
