Summary

This study aims to understand how people with autism experience senses like touch, sound, and sight differently across their lives. Researchers will use brain scans and questionnaires to link these sensory differences to social challenges, such as avoiding eye contact or feeling anxious about touch. The study involves 480 participants with and without autism, aged 12 to 40, and does not test any treatment.
