So here are 4 sensory processing disorder hacks that you definitely
need, and this will change the game.
All that's coming up.
Hey guys.
Welcome back to the Aspie world.

Okay guys.
So it is sensory processing awareness, month or sensory processing.
Which means I am going to do some sensory processing videos.
Cause I always do videos on different types of things.
And sensory processing disorder is something that is comorbid with autism.
It's something that occurs with autism.
It's called caring.
It's something that is part of an autism spectrum diagnosis in a lot of cases.
So that being said.
I teamed up with Soundsory who are probably sponsoring this video
and we'll have more on them later.
Okay.
So I'm going to break down four tips and strategies that I can give
you that will help you overcome some sensory processing issues.
It's not going to cure it because sensory processing disorder
is how your brain is wired.
It's not something that you can like cure.
It's part of an autism spectrum diagnosis and what you know the rest.
Um, if by any chance I've missed something out and you guys think Dan, you didn't say
this, then pop it in a comment down below.
Let me know.
All right, let's go on with the video.
Okay.
So the first one was proprioception.
Now sensory processing disorder can be helped a little bit by activating
sensory, sensory caused proprioception, and proprioception is basically when
the muscles deeper muscle tissue has some sort of engagement, some kind of
like a resistance, like if you picked up a chair for instance, or if you did
like a press-up or you went running or walking, or even having a shower.
To activate the muscle and to get that proprioception,
that sense, uh, heightened.
Now there is a way to do this that will give you way more benefit.
Uh, as in the activation of proprioception only lasts for about two hours.
So you have to kind of keep up and top is up every two hours,
but it actually really does work.
What I suggest to do is do like wool press-ups or something.
You could even go for a walk if you want it to, or you could do
some light exercise in the house.
You could even like pick up a chair or something.
That's a little bit heavy, maybe a laptop or something,
as long as you don't drop it.
Obviously you just looking to try and activate those muscles in the
proprioception sense to give you a little bit more, um, work on the muscle.
What happens here is that it gives you a state of awareness
around your body and your muscles.
And so you.
Um, in tune with your surroundings.
So a lot of people who have sensory processing disorder, can't open doors
wide enough to fit through them, which is something that I do as well.
And I get bruises on my arms because I'm not opening the door wide enough to
sense my body's structure, but having this proprioception activation actually
helps me understand a lot more about my spatial awareness and things like that.
Super good tip, highly recommend it.
It was actually given to me by a.
Occupational therapist who works with sensory processing disorder.
Super dope.
All right, let's move on to hack number two.
Okay.
So hack number two is these Soundsory headphones.
Now I'm going to talk a little bit about Soundsory because they were happy enough
to help me and sponsor this video.
So big shout out to them for sponsoring and helping create this
video Soundsory is multi-sensory music therapy and movement program.
The sensory headphones equipped with a dynamic filter and bone conduction
technology helps improve motor skills and cognitive development.
And adults, who would you pretty cool.
Right?
The program consists of specifically designed music processed with neuro
acoustic modifications as well as a series of movement-based exercises.
It is a 40 day program divided into two sections.
20 days each with a break of about a month in between, and each day consists
of about 30 minutes of music and exercise, which is quite achievable.
If you're doing this to kind of help with your sensory processing needs, sounds
really helps improve fine and gross and visual motor skills, uh, in children.
Like handwriting and drawing, balanced posture, eye coordination, hand-eye
coordination building on these fundamental skills and kind of beyond really
because they're like a basis, right?
Sounds really improved emotional regulation, social
skills and communication.
So it's a bit of an old rounded Soundosry is designed to be safe and effective
and is helping children and adults on the autism spectrum with auditory and
sensory processing disorders and other developmental delays, children can come.
Coloring Lego, building, drawing, writing, painting, and other activities
while actually using sensory.
It has nine hours of battery time, online access to exercise videos, and
an option to switch to Bluetooth mode.
So you use the sound three's headphones as just normal headphones.
You can use these as just typically your average daily headphones.
So it's kind of cool.
Right?
I really love that feature.
I did the.
Program of the 20 days after the initial 20 day program
and it was highly effective.
It was absolutely fantastic.
So I'm sure you've made a really, really rock solid product here.
And I do recommend it and I don't take on any brand who wants to, you know, partner
with me if I don't think it's good.
This is very good.
I've had a lot of success with parents.

So I highly recommend to checking it out.
I love these.
Okay.
Onto tip number three.
Okay.
So creating a sensory room or a sensory corner.
Now people on the autism spectrum and people who have sensory.
Are always kind of around things that are sensory triggering.
So you could be in work, you could be in school, you could
be out on the bus or in town.
And there's a lot of things going on.
A lot of people talking, a lot of things, moving around, a lot
of noise and hustle and bustle.
And so sometimes one needs to retract from that and kind of, uh, calm
down their sensory processing input.
Right.
And the way to do this is to create a sensory corner of sensory.
I actually usually try and do a corner of a room where you have like
nice soft pillows, um, sensory toys.
You could even have lights there, twinkly lights, stuff like that, which will help
you kind of be cozy, calm, relaxed, and a little bit reset if you will, in this kind
of like that busy hustle and bustle world and a top tip for this is to actually
schedule in sensory processing, uh, calm down time, like chill out time within
your daily routine, because the more you can put this into your daily life, the.
That you will be during the day when century issues occur, because
you've had time to kind of recharge your batteries in a way, which is
a really good thing and something that is paramount in this situation.
Okay, guys, let's get on to number four.
Number four is wearing headphones and sunglasses.
Now, obviously one of the main ways that people can sense the world around them is
through their eyes and through their ears.
Um, this.
A lot of the time, really difficult for people on the autism spectrum,
like having so much noise input, uh, unfiltered is quite overwhelming
and cost things like meltdowns and burnouts and things like that.
And also having lights too many lights are highly kind of like bright in your
eyes when you are sensitive to those can cause you again to have distress.
So there are two hacks we have here for this one is to wear a pair.
Sunglasses, which is what I use here.
These are kind of like my daily ones.
I, I kind of have on, so you can wear a pair of sunglasses, which actually
help filter out some of the light, which is kind of really cool, but also you
could just wear a pair of headphones, any headphones would do, but actually
if you are getting the Soundosry
headphones.
These are pretty good.
They've got great covering really comfy.
And this helps block out and filter out a lot of the noise so that our headphones
out do like noise canceling, but there's no need, if you just have headphones on or
help filter some of that noise out, which I find highly, um, just amazing, like
highly recommend doing this because these two tips have really helped me a lot.
I wear headphones a lot of the time and I also wear sunglasses whenever I need to.
And sometimes I wear sunglasses indoors as well.
It does get funny looks from people, but at the end of the day, I'd rather feel.
And be distressed so that you have it guys.
There's some sensory processing hacks.
