Autumn and winter used to feel cosy, but now it’s just endless rain and grey thanks to climate change. Good for the plants, awful for my senses. The cold, damp, noise. It all really triggers my autism. #AutismAcceptance #SensorySensitivity #ClimateAnxiety #RainyMood #UKWeather #NeurodivergentLife

🌈 AuDHD isn’t just attention and sensory differences.

Many of us live with a rich blend of Emotional Contagion, Frisson & Sensory-Emotional Sensitivity.

🌀 For #Autisticstudents, #sensorysensitivity can make certain sounds overwhelming, painful, or even unbearable. A noisy classroom, the constant hum of fluorescent lights, or multiple conversations happening at once can turn learning into an exhausting struggle.

Walking some dogs, I pass by teenagers kissing in the rain and I wonder how they can stand having the water splash them directly in the face like that. I want new silverware but need to be able to feel it first. Can't handle the constraining feeling of a bra. #autisticproblems #sensorysensitivity

Devastated. My noise canceling headphones have stopped charging. Sony says I have to send them in and it’ll cost $110 just to get them looked at… I need these things, I wear them all day every day 😩😩

Sensory sensitivity is a real challenge for many individuals, and it’s important that we recognize and accommodate this invisible difference in workplaces and social environments. Let’s lead the way in promoting understanding and inclusivity for people with conditions like autism, anxiety, and ADHD. Together, we can make a positive impact on the lives of those with invisible differences. #SensorySensitivity #InclusiveSpaces #UnderstandingMatters

No experience myself.

Would a baseball cap / visor help? (sorry if that's daft)

Also, have you looked at potassium in diet / supplements (or reducing sodium)?? www.epiphanyasd.com/2013/08/pota...

I think flatware and plate companies need to add a rating for how painful the sound is when you accidentally touch them together…

Kids with ADHD often have heightened sensitivity to textures, making bedtime challenging. Soft, comfy fabrics can help them feel calm and secure for a better night's sleep. We opt for fleece and bamboo beddings. 🌙 #ADHDSupport #ParentingTips #BetterSleep #SensorySensitivity #adhdmama #adhdparenting
