Why Many Autistic People Struggle With Their 8th Sense - Interoception

Hi! I'm Orion Kelly and I'm Autistic. Most people can feel when they’re hungry, tired, in pain, or anxious. But for many autistic adults, those signals don’t come through clearly—or at all. That’s because of a lesser-known sense called interoception—your ability to feel what’s happening inside your body. In this video, I explain what interoception is, how it affects autistic people, and why it’s connected to everything from burnout to emotional regulation. If you’ve ever forgotten to eat, missed signs of pain, or only noticed stress after you crash—this might finally explain why. 🔔 Subscribe for more content on adult autism, sensory differences, and neurodivergent mental health. #Interoception #AutismInAdults #AutisticSenses #Neurodivergent #ThatAutisticGuy #orionkelly #autism #asd #autismsigns #whatautismfeelslike 🙏 Thanks so much for watching, rating, commenting, sharing and subscribing, I really appreciate it!
