“He Fell.
Hard.
Scraped His Elbow.
Blood Was Dripping.
He Got Up. Smiled.
Kept Walking.”
Adarsh, 4 years old, didn’t cry when injured.
- Not when he scraped his knees.
- Not when he got bitten by a mosquito.
- Not when he got a vaccine.
“We thought he was brave.
Then strong.
Then special.
But then… we realized — he wasn’t registering pain at all.”
🧠 When No Pain Is Not A gift — But A Warning Sign
At Pinnacle® chennai (Adyar), pediatric sensory experts explain:
“Some children on the autism spectrum experience hyporesponsiveness to pain —
their brains don’t process injury signals accurately.
So they don’t react to cuts, bruises, or even more serious trauma.”
Clinical red flags:
- Doesn’t cry or react after a fall or bump
- Doesn’t withdraw hand from something hot quickly
- Gets injured but continues playing
- Doesn’t report physical discomfort (blisters, insect bites, tummy pain)
- Delayed or absent response to known painful stimuli (vaccinations, scrapes)
From our therapists:
“This isn’t toughness.
It’s a neurological blind spot — and it puts them in danger.”
📞 The Day A Bruise Turned Black — And He Never Noticed
After a park visit, adarsh came home limping.
- A large bruise on his shin.
- He didn’t cry.
- Didn’t tell anyone.
- Said, “I’m fine.”
But the bruise turned deep purple.
His foot was swollen.
“That’s when we knew.
He wasn’t ignoring the pain.
He never felt it.
And that terrified us.”
They called 9100 181 181.
The counselor said:
“Pain protects us.
When your child can’t feel it — they lose a key survival instinct.
Let’s evaluate and support before injury becomes risk.”
They booked a free AbilityScore©® Sensory Screening.

He wasn’t fearless.
He was unaware — and vulnerable.
🤖 How TherapeuticAI©® Helped Him Learn Pain Without Fear
His therapy didn’t try to “create pain.”
It helped him recognize signals that most of us take for granted.
Plan included:
- “What does hurt feel like?” photo and storyboard drills
- Body-mapping exercises: label “Where is it hurting?”
- Predictive training: If you fall here → What might happen?
- Gentle sensory feedback tools: vibration → squeeze → pressure
- Parental guidance: observe micro-reactions, reinforce communication
By week 5:
- Adarsh pointed to a scrape and said, “Red here.”
- Whispered “It’s poky” when wearing a sharp-tag shirt
- Asked for help when he bumped into a table
- Hugged his mother and said, “Bite here,” after a mosquito bite
“He didn’t become weak.
He became aware — of his own body. Of his own safety. Of his own right to be heard.”
💬 What His parents Say Now
“We thought he was strong.
But strength is knowing when something hurts — and asking for help.
Now, thanks to Pinnacle®, he doesn’t suffer silently.
He speaks — about what his body feels.
And we finally hear him.”
