What You Need to Know About Sensory Processing Disorder

In this important episode, we take a deep dive into Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)—a condition that frequently overlaps with autism spectrum disorder but is often misunderstood or overlooked. Dan, who lives with autism, ADHD, and OCD, breaks down the key things every autistic adult, caregiver, or ally should know about SPD and how it impacts daily life.

From struggling with certain sounds, lights, and textures to feeling overstimulated or under-stimulated, sensory processing challenges can affect everything from communication to focus to mental health. This episode offers practical insight and sensory-friendly strategies for navigating the world with more comfort and confidence.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

What Sensory Processing Disorder is and how it relates to autism
Common signs of sensory sensitivities in autistic adults
The difference between sensory seeking and sensory avoiding
Real-world tips to manage sensory overload
Tools that can help (like noise-cancelling headphones and sensory aids)

Whether you’ve just discovered you’re autistic or you’ve been managing SPD for years, this episode brings clarity, validation, and support.
