3. Difficulties in perceiving facial and bodily emotions

Managing emotional information proves complex. Without effective automatic processing by the brain, this information is difficult to integrate. Yet it might be better understood if facial and bodily expressions were slower. Indeed, the part of autistic people's brains that processes this information automatically is often underdeveloped. Therapeutic support such as Brain Gym, combined with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), can stimulate neurodevelopment and help with understanding emotions.
