New research suggests people who have autism feel pain at a higher intensity than others, which is the opposite of what many believe to be true.
TUESDAY, Jan. 31, 2023 -- People who have autism feel pain at a higher intensity than others, which is the opposite of what many believe to be true, new research suggests.
"We know that self-harm could stem from attempts to suppress pain, and it could be that they hurt themselves in order to activate, unconsciously, a physical mechanism of 'pain inhibits pain,'" Bar-Shalita said in a university news release.About 10% of the general population suffer from sensory modulation dysfunction, Bar-Shalita explained.
The study included 52 adults with high-functioning autism and 52 healthy people. Researchers used psychophysical tests to evaluate pain to examine the link between stimulus and response. The study found that people with autism hurt more and that their pain suppression mechanism is less effective.
