I read an article on "Sensory Differences" and it mentioned the following:" Noise Smell Visual Touch Taste/Texture Motor (Vestibular & Proprioception) People with ASD are often over- or under-sensitive in any or all of these senses Sensory sensitivities may increase as a result of anxiety". I live in Central Scotland. I am interested in knowing if there is somewhere where I could be assessed on each of these senses to find out figures showing to what degree I might differ from neuro-typical people. Does anyone know if this service is available, and if so where and how much does it cost, please?
Other than vision and hearing, I don't think there is a test for the other senses. The over- or under-sensitivity of the other senses are determined from anecdotal evidence and behaviour. You can go to an optician to get your vision or hearing tested and I think some of them do that for free.
