The age range is from nineteen to fifty-four, were the mean age is twenty-eight point five with a modal age at twenty-three. We had four males and fourteen females that participated. The ethnicity of the participants was nine, white/Caucasian, seven African Americans, and two Hispanic Americans. All participants in this study are in college. In the study there was two parts.

Senses play a vital role in our lives. The five senses we take for granted, taste, sight, hearing, touch, and smell. What is simple for us, can be overwhelming to those with autism.

For learning, it is important to be in an optimum state of arousal.
