This presentation explores the link between sensory modulation dysfunction and pain perception in autism, emphasizing sensory over-responsiveness (SOR) and its impact on daily functioning. It discusses how multisensory processing shapes behavior, the neurophysiological basis of pain perception, and findings from psychophysical and EEG studies showing heightened pain sensitivity in individuals with SOR. The video uniquely combines behavioral and neurological perspectives, highlighting how altered sensory processing may predispose individuals to chronic pain. It also presents experimental evidence demonstrating prolonged pain responses and excitatory brain activity patterns, reinforcing the need for a deeper understanding of pain in autism.
