Public health guidance assumes people sense signs of overheating clearly, and will drink water when thirsty, and rest when overheated. Problem is, for some autistic people, the body may not sound these alarms quickly—or at all. By @neuroscientist.bsky.social: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/givi...

When the Body Does Not Sound the Heat Alarm
As heatwaves intensify, neuroscience may help explain overlooked dimensions of heat vulnerability in autism and sensory-related disability.

Perception isn’t just about what your senses pick up it’s about how your brain stitches it all together. I dive into sensory illusions, timing, and why autistic/ADHD brains often see/ feel the world differently. Think you “perceive” reality? Think again. www.psychologytoday.com/us/contribut...

My article in @psychologytoday.com explores why sensory comfort depends more on predictability, coherence, and structure than simply less noise, and why well-intended solutions like quiet spaces don’t always relieve sensory strain. www.psychologytoday.com/us/contribut...

Autistic masking may be an evolved survival response to social risk: useful for belonging, but costly when sustained over a lifetime.
