=Kids with autism and sensory processing disorders show differences in brain wiring=

"Children with sensory processing disorders have decreased structural brain connections in specific sensory regions different than those in autism," (University). Sensory processing disorders (SPD) are sometimes hard to notice in children. 90 percent of children with autism have also been diagnosed with sensory processing disorder. Children with sensory processing disorders can have various symptoms including hypersensitivity to sound, sight and touch, poor fine motor skills and easy distractibility (University). It is very sad to see the effects some children have due to having sensory processing disorders. Some children are not able to stand the sound of a vacuum while others are not even able to hold a pencil. There is no answer as to how these disorders form. I believe if more information was to be conducted, the cause of sensory processing disorders will be found.
