Semester 1: Week 6

Smell. Sight. Taste. Touch. Hearing. Many people with autism experience sensory input in unique ways. This week, you will watch two short videos that offer a glimpse into what it might be like to experience sensory sensitivity. It is crucial to keep in mind that experiences vary greatly from person to person. Recognizing that autistic people may experience the sensory environment differently will help you to better understand your friends with autism. This information will also help you to be a better ally for your friends.

First, watch Walking Down the Street.
