It’s a pretty large spectrum of severity.

For instance my daughter does not show any autistic symptoms, but is a very picky eater and, what presents the most difficulty for us, has clothing sensitivity - no hair clips, bands, or pony tails, only very specific baggy oversized pieces of clothing, no elastic bands wider than an inch on pants, only specific socks, etc. Its a pain and we can never get it quite right. But she is 14 now and it’s all quite “normal” to us now and we just deal with it. You find ways to cope and handle it so it becomes routine and you don’t even notice it anymore.

Also asthma is a pretty common thing to go along with this, and allergies. She is even allergic to cold - gets hives if ambient temp is low. You should check her for allergies not to end up in the hospital with something you weren’t aware of.

There are online forums dedicated to this sort of thing, hn is not a common place to go for advice.
