Understanding and Managing Sensory Sensitivities - How to understand and deal with what’s going on inside you
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this Autism Infocast, you'll learn how many autistic people experience the world through a uniquely tuned sensory lens, making everyday sensations powerfully intense or even overwhelming. We cover what it means to be over-sensitive or under-sensitive across all senses, exploring how these neurological differences profoundly shape daily life and can lead to sensory overload. You'll gain practical strategies to build a personal sensory toolkit and help you manage these experiences. We also give you insights on how family and friends can adapt environments and provide crucial support, working towards a more comfortable and accommodating world for all people.
