Autistic people may also experience over- or under-sensitivity to sounds, touch, tastes, smells, light, colours, temperatures or pain. For example, they may find certain background sounds, which other people ignore or block out, unbearably loud or distracting. This can cause anxiety or even physical pain. Or they may be fascinated by lights or spinning objects.

There are SEVEN senses rather than five. Many people with autism can have a hyper-sensitivity (over-sensitive) or hypo-sensitivity (under sensitive) to at least one of these senses. There are some excellent examples on the link below. You can also watch the video below to learn more.
