Hi there. I am a 27 year old autistic adult who has been experiencing nervous system abnormalities, the strangest lf which is horrible paresthesias and a sense of buzzing, allodynia or brokwn glass in my skin. I was born with it and have had a slew of tests with no answer. Couls this be related to autism? I also have sensory processing disorder.

Hello,
The allodynia is a perception of pain from stimuli which usually does not provoke pain. The cause of allodynia is vivid and usually involves disturbances with the neurological phenomenon like
- Diabetes
- Fibromyalgia
- Migraine headache
- Post herpetic neuralgia
However, the allodynia is not a diagnostic criteria of autism, neither it is a commonly found symptom in routine.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
