There's also a newer category called Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), that incorporates visual, olfactory, and auditory sensitivity without many of the other traits from a standard autism diagnosis. It's still considered neuro diverse, but helps those with it to draw their own awareness to their own unique challenges. As an adult, it's much easier to cope when you can clearly list what sensory inputs will be challenging, and work to avoid or change them. If you haven't heard of it there's a book called Highly Sensitive Person that can give good advice for self care.
