Extreme Sensitivity to Stimuli - Is it Autism?Aug 1, 201812mGuest: Elysa Marco, MD, Neurologist, Benioff Children’s Hospital, Assistant Clinical Professor of Neurology, University of California, San Francisco Crowded spaces, loud noises, an itchy sweater or scratchy clothing tag – these would be mild annoyances for most people.
