Why does smell matter in sensory support?

Olfaction is the sensory system most people forget, and the one most directly wired to memory and emotion. For autistic people it swings both ways — a scent that one person finds grounding can make another person leave the room.

Because responses are so individual, this collection works in both directions. There are scent-based resources for people who find particular smells calming or alerting, and unscented alternatives for people who need their environment kept as neutral as possible.

If you are buying for someone whose smell sensitivity you do not know well, start with an unscented option or something easily removed. Scent is difficult to take back once it is in a room or on fabric.
