Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

A condition where the brain cannot pick up or respond properly to messages from your senses, causing problems such as over-sensitivity to the feel of particular things, under-sensitivity to pain, or apparent clumsiness. It is often associated with autism and is usually picked up in children, but can affect adults too.
