“Autistic Skin: The Skin–Brain Axis, Hygiene, and Therapeutic Support”
This new clinical post explores how skin health in autism may be connected with inflammation, sensory sensitivity, microbiome imbalance, autonomic dysfunction, mast cell activation, and the broader skin–brain axis.
Topics include:

• Dry skin, eczema-like irritation, seborrheic dermatitis, flushing, and itching
• Sensory and neurovascular skin manifestations
• The role of inflammation and microbiome imbalance
• Practical hygiene and barrier-supportive strategies
