Postcards From My Mind: Perspectives of Asperger's Syndrome

External Sensory Processing

External Sensory Processing: there are three possible places that a person’s sensory system might break down (during intake, interpretation, and output). For some individuals their system consistently breaks down in the same place whereas for other’s it is all three, and still others their break down seems erratic sometimes in one spot, sometimes in others, and sometimes not at all. Let’s look at each stage:

  • Intake Stage: (how information is taken in from the environment)
  • Interpretation stage (how one’s brain understands the information taken in)
  • Output stage (result of information taken in)
