Autism always struck me as people who have the floodgates, to their sensory perception, wide open.
You guys sense so much that it's painful.
Am I close?

I saw an interview with a high functioning autistic woman and she was saying she has trained herself to narrow her emotion-like a laser beam. But after awhile she has to go somewhere quiet and dark to rest because it takes tremendous energy to do so.

What are some of the first signs of it and how early does it present itself Dante?
Is there some kind of research going on to find the cause and the cure?
