Autism and dizzy balance problems

Tommy

Why do I and others with autism suffer with dizzy and balance? Is it linked with the autism or is it anxiety involved as well? I have both. I get it most of the time and it disrupts my sleep and daily life

  • It could be neurological. There is some evidence that autistic brains have more short-range connections and fewer long-range connections than average. Long-range connections are between areas of the brain. Maintaining balance is a very complex process that occurs in the brain. It's performed by multiple parts of the brain and any constraint on how the different parts of the brain communicate will have an effect on how efficiently balance is managed.
