LINK BETWEEN SYNAESTHESIA & AUTISM?

Please only answer the poll below if you are the parent of an Autistic child.

As part of my EPQ I decided to investigate the possibility of a link between Autism and Synaesthesia. I’m at the stage of gathering some primary evidence for my report so I’d be very grateful if you could share your opinion.

Please could you answer as to whether your child has experienced any sensory symptoms. This could include:

• Certain textures causing discomfort
• Finding some flavours and foods too strong and overpowering
• Touch being uncomfortable or painful
• Noise being magnified or sounds becoming disported and muddled
• Difficulty cutting background noise out

Thank you
