Hyper-reactivity to audio stimuli is a very common problem in children with autism spectrum disorder and it is the most common sensory hypersensitivity in those individuals with high-functioning autism and Asperger’s. Persons with hypersensitivity to sound have problems when they are in a loud environment such as movie theaters, birthday parties, supermarkets, crowded streets, etc., because they hear other sounds that people who are not on the autism spectrum cannot hear. Some describe this sound as having a microphone that picks up and magnifies everything and the sound can hurt their ears like dentist’s hitting the nerve.
