autism-sensory-model

This research project presents a novel framework for understanding autism not as a collection of behavioral symptoms, but as a set of adaptive responses to unique sensory experiences. The model challenges traditional diagnostic approaches by placing sensory processing at the center of autistic experiences.

Autism Sensory Model

This repository presents a multidimensional model to understand autism not primarily as a behavioral syndrome, but as an emergent adaptation to sensory processing differences.
It proposes a shift from symptom-based classification to systemic, cause-oriented interpretation.

Why this matters

Autism is typically diagnosed based on observable symptoms.
But what if many of these are logical responses to a fundamentally different sensory reality?

This model invites researchers, practitioners, and neurodivergent individuals to rethink autism as a dynamic, emergent system – grounded in perception, modulation, environment, and self-regulation.

abstract: "This paper questions the common diagnosis of autism as a symptom-based disorder and proposes a systemic-sensory model instead. It argues that many autistic behaviors should be understood as secondary strategies in dealing with sensory processing."
