Autism and Sensory Processing Difficulties: Interoception #shorts #autism #interoception

Interoception is the sense that allows us to know how we are feeling inside our bodies - whether we are hungry, tired, in pain, need to pass urine, etc - and also signals are sent to the brain which allow us to know how we are feeling emotionally. Autistic people may have one of 3 difficulties with the sense interoception.

I tend to mix up hunger and thirst for each other. Like I will eat and eat and be really frustrated on why im still hungry when i was thirsty, and i do that for hours.
