Altered sensory experience is one of the core features of autism, affecting approximately 90% of autistic individuals, exerting a strong negative influence on day-to-day life and contributing to the development of other core symptoms and medical conditions that co-occur with autism. Touch is particularly crucial during development and tactile alterations in autistic individuals include differences in stimulus perception and sensory-related neural excitability. Better understanding and synthetizing these features is crucial in characterizing altered tactile experience in autism and can provide
