This happens because the autistic brain is wired differently to that of a typical person and the autistic individual will have a heightened perception of most if not all senses. This can create a very triggering experience for a person on the autism spectrum and cause them to have a sensory overload and eventual burnout of meltdown due to this. There are versions steps we can take to avoid these see my earlier video on hacks for sensory processing.
