Autistic people suffer greater sensitivity to pain

til. i wonder if it has to do with their senses already being overloaded so it's harder to push pain out of focus.

Quite possible. If you've already got problems coping with regular stimuli it's reasonable that you'd have a harder time coping with pain stimuli too. Their pain receptors could be more sensitive than others or any number of other explanations.
