Let's Discuss Sensory Sensitivities in Autistic Adults

Hello my mushrooms! Bulbasaur and Pikachu join me today as I discuss sensory sensitivities in autistic adults. Many autistic people have sensory sensitivities because their brains process sensory input differently than neurotypical people. This video explores hyper- and hypo-sensitivities in autistic people, what overstimulation can look like in adults (including several of my personal funky sensitivities). Stay tuned 'til the end for tips on how autistic people and their loved ones can navigate sensory sensitivities!

If you are an autistic individual with sensory sensitivities, or a loved one looking to better understand a neurodivergent person in your life, this video is for you.
