Autism, Sensory Issues, Music, and Marriage

One of the most important aspects of autism has to do with sensory processing disorder.  In fact, I have yet to meet a person on the autism spectrum who does not have sensory issues.  In this video I talk about how sensory overload can result in self-abusive behaviors.  

The importance of music for people with autism is also discussed.  Rather than engaging in music therapy, I prefer to teach those on the autism spectrum how to play music.  I do so because in addition to the therapuetic benefits of engaging in music, being able to play a music instrument provides a real life key for developing interactions with others and involvement in the community as a solist or part of a musical ensemble.

Finally, I talk about marriage.  Contrary to the common myth that people with autism do not want relationships, those on the autism spectrum I know do desire interactions with others ranging the full gamut from acquaintances to intimation relationships.  The challenge is just figuring out how.
