Sensory Processing Disorder and Autism

What is Sensory Processing Disorder? How do deal with sensory difficulties in your day-to-day? What challenges faces someone with SPD? Are you meeting your own sensory needs? In this episode of the Thoughty Auti Podcast, Thomas talks to Emily (@21andsensory) about sensory needs/difficulties and the many reasons why having Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) can make life a little more difficult to navigate.  We talk about the recent development of the Sunflower Lanyard Scheme, what individuals can do to cope with daily life and the ways other people can make being sensory... just a little bit more comfortable.  Emily received a diagnosis of ASD in late last year and lives with both anxiety and SPD.  Whether its sunglasses, noise-canceling headphones, fidget toys, sensory rooms or sleep aids... her blog, Instagram page, and podcast offer new insights into the sensory world of autism!  If you have an exciting or interesting story and want to appear on the next podcast, please contact me at: aspergersgrowth@gmail.com Emily's Links:-  ►Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/21andsensory/ ►Blog - https://21andsensory.wordpress.com/  ►Podcast - https://21andsensory.wordpress.com/21andsensory-podcasts/  ►Twitter -https://twitter.com/21andsensory ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬  Channel Merchandise - https://teespring.com/stores/aspergers-growth Support via Patreon! - https://www.patreon.com/aspergersgrowth Social Media ♥ - ☼ Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/AspergersGrowth] - Aspergers Growth ☼ Twitter [https://twitter.com/AspergersGrowth]/Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/aspergersgrowth/] - @aspergersgrowth ♫ Listen On - Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6vjXgCB7Q3FwtQ2YqPjnEV Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/thoughty-auti-the-autism-mental-health-podcast/id1470689079 Music - ♫ Track: [Chill Music] Ikson - Reverie [No Copyright Music] Advert Track: Empty Parking Lot - Colours Of Illusion [Epidemic Sound]
