Understanding interoception and Autism: The Psychology Behind Body Awareness
In this video, we dive deep into interoception and autism, exploring how body awareness affects emotional regulation, sensory processing, and mental health. 🧠 People with autism often experience challenges with interoception — the sense that helps us feel internal body signals like hunger, thirst, pain, and emotions.
We’ll break down the psychology of interoception, explaining why some autistic individuals might struggle to recognize or interpret bodily sensations and how that impacts anxiety, meltdowns, and self-regulation. Understanding this connection is crucial for personal growth, self-awareness, and supporting loved ones on the autism spectrum.
