Imagine the way you might smell a rose. You'd take a nice big sniff to breathe in the sweet but subtle floral scent. Upon walking into a public restroom, you'd likely do just the opposite—abruptly limiting the flow of air through your nose.

Autistic children go right on sniffing in the same way, no matter how pleasant or awful the scent.
