Really unusual sensory issue- help!

Hi, I’m a teacher looking to help an ASC student who has hyper  sensitivity to patterns, especially dots. They’re everywhere- ceiling tiles, carpets, science diagrams. She can even see the pores in skin. This is causing her huge stress. Would glasses with colour lenses help?

  • it's stressful now because she doesn't understand it, but why block it straight away? what if it's some manifestation of synesthesia in it's myriad forms, like that  autiistic math genius who can see geometric figures in various colours allowing him to calculate things unimaginable?  but what it could be, I have no idea atm, I wish I had it though

    and everything is made of dots
