There are many other parts of Autism that are prominent, for example sensory atypicalities. I've never met a person with autism without them.

There's a book called The Reason I Jump written by a non-verbal autistic boy (dictated by pointing at a printed keyboard), where he describes being able to understand most things (except at times where he is overloaded by sensory stimuli), but is often unable to control his response as he wishes.

This has lead me to believe that sensory-motor differences may be the primary difference between autistic and neurotypical people.

Yes. I wrote my thesis on creating a piece of autism technology to teach people what it was like to have Autism. And through my work I came to the same conclusion.

But you also see this in cases of developmental trauma / CPTSD. There is some relation between the two conditions, but it is certainly not simple.

Sensory issues in DTD? Can you link me to this?
