(fix the formating latter)

Brain storming on solutions to sensory problems in Autism I start from the principle that autism in it self is not a disorder. So we avoid completely psychoactive drugs and behavioural therapy. However the sensory problems that can be associated with autism are certainly an "annoyance".

sensitivities

On all, use a drug, or a cocktail of drugs that attenuate or enhance sensitivity. More or less mild local anaesthetics or dilute anaesthetics.

hearing

custom made earplugs. A series of earplugs with varying degree of sound blocking capability. Added extra local anaesthesia in the ear canal for more comfortable and prolonged wearing. Need attention to complications.

drugs that more or less specifically attenuate or enhance hearing.

Example of drugs: TODO

There's a little muscle attached to the ear drum, it contracts when sounds are to strong. We could try to intervene on that.

The auditory nerves are well inside the skull, intervening directly on that would require drilling. Bad idea.

touch

Appropriate anaesthetics should do the trick.

Appropriate enhancers of sensitivity should do the trick.

Example of drugs: TODO

On eye site, smells and taste.

We could try using drugs and anaesthetics of some type. Its just easier to wear sun glasses and avoid strong tastes. Nothing new here, i'm not going to bother more on this.

Experiments

There are local anaesthetics with a half life of minutes( example Novocaine), could experiment with that first, before trying out more hard stuff. In short, use palliative care techniques.
