- Most people understand that people with Autism or who are on the autism spectrum experience sensory issues. These issues can manifest in various ways that affect daily life and interactions. They may see autistic people in public wearing headphones to block out overwhelming sounds or having a meltdown in response to sensory overload, but what exactly are sensory issues for those who are neurodivergent?
Today, I take the time to explore my own sensory issues in detail, sharing personal experiences and insights. You may discover that you also have sensory issues but didn't realize it, and that it’s not just meltdowns and feelings of overwhelm that define these experiences.
Sensory issues can come in many forms, including sensitivity to light, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
Let me know what sensory issues you have experienced! Are yours the same as mine? What else would you add as a sensory issue that you think is important to mention?
Your stories and insights could help others understand this aspect of neurodiversity better. I look forward to hearing from you!
I share some of this. Walking past a branch of Lush, the soap seller, is always painful because of how powerful the combined scent is. I always choose unscented everything, given a choice.
The combination is overwhelming, I agree. I wo der if they're aware how many customers they potentially lose because of it.
I'm struggling with noise (even music) and physical touch.
It's important to do what works for you. Have you got a safe space where you can decompress and get the quiet you need?
@@LateDiagnosed I don't really have a safe place.
@@passaggioalivelloI'm sorry you don't have a safe place. I hope you can find something that works even for short amounts of time for you. Perhaps a quiet corner in a library or in a quiet location out in nature for a walk or sitting still to gather your thoughts.
