Sensory overload
Sensory overload, means that surrounding factors like smell, noise and taste is too much and the senses of the person with Autism cannot handle it. Sometimes the place that they are at is too bright for them or sometimes there are certain sounds that they cannot handle.
Autistic people are more sensitive to many things compared to others. This can be almost anything depending on the person's sensitivity.
It can go as much as them having a seizure.
The problems is that sometimes is that our senses is not affected and we do not fell anything is wrong, but for them they are hurting
For example:
Sometimes many people with Autism will close their ears in a crowded room because there are so many people talking that they cannot take the amount of noise that is being created .
There are some kids who are able to get seizures (sudden attack of illness) because of it.

Beban Deria
Bila dikatakan tentang beban deria, ini bermakna deria individu Autisme tidak boleh menahan faktor-faktor dalam alam sekitar disekelilingnya seperti bau, bunyi dan rasa. Kadang-kadang deria mereka tidak tahan jika sesuatu tempat itu terlampau terang atau kadang-kadang ada bunyi tertentu yang menyakitkan. Individu dengan autisme terlebih sensitif kepada banyak keadaan berbanding dengan orang lain.
​
Masalahnya, ada waktunya deria kita tidak merasa apa-apa pun, tetapi mereka akan terasa sakit akibat faktor luaran.
​
Contohnya, ada individu autisme akan sering menutup telinganya dalam bilik sesak kerana di tempat itu ada ramai orang sedang bercakap , Mereka tidak boleh memproses banyak bunyi yang ada dalam bilik itu.
​
Ada kanak-kanak yang sangat teruk sehingga mereka boleh mendapat serangan sawan secara tiba-tiba.
