Autistic individuals may be sensitive to which of the following?

People’s opinions
Financial issues
Changes in senses
Weather patterns

The correct answer is: Changes in senses

Autistic individuals often experience heightened sensitivities related to sensory input, which is encompassed by the correct response focusing on changes in senses. This can include aversions or heightened reactions to sounds, lights, textures, tastes, and smells. Such sensitivities can lead to discomfort or distress in environments where these sensory triggers are present. Understanding this aspect of autism can significantly enhance interactions with autistic individuals, particularly in situations such as law enforcement encounters or public spaces, where sensory overload might occur. Being aware that changes in senses can impact their behavior greatly assists in tailoring responses and ensuring a supportive environment for those on the autism spectrum. The other options, while they may be significant in the lives of autistic individuals, do not specifically pertain to the sensory sensitivities that are a hallmark of autism.
