spectrum have sensory issues all up.
Plus.
It's coming right up.

Okay.
So autism and sensory processing issues this month is sensory processing
awareness month, which is kind of cool because it's also ADHD awareness month.
So I wanted to do a video about sensory issues.
Cause I feel like it's kind of like the elephant in the room.
Everybody knows that autistic people have sensory processing issues,
but nobody really addresses it.
And this is kind of because in a diagnosis type of sense, you can't
get an independent diagnosis.
Uh, sensory processing disorder.
It has to be comorbid with autism.
Like, you know, you could get autism and sensory processing disorder,
not just sensory processing disorder, but that being said,
why not talk about it in general?
A lot of people miss this out.
A lot of people don't talk about it.
So I teamed up with Soundsory headphones to bring you this video this week.
And this video is sponsored by Soundsory.
So autism and sensory processing disorder.
Now, like I said, in the intro, people who have an autism spectrum disorder usually.
A sensory processing disorder as a comorbid component to them
being on the autism spectrum.
This means that lights and sounds and certain touches, smells, and
temperature can really impact the person's ability to just to be in that
moment, just be in this environment.
Right.
And it could cause all things like meltdowns and burnout and a lot of,
uh, overwhelming kind of stimulation from a third-party sensors.
Now this whole.
Because sensory processing and sensory input effort, party data inputs.
So the autistic brain has a different neurological kind of wiring to
that of a neuro-typical brain or a person who is not autistic.
And what happens is when you have sensory input through the centers, like your
smell or your sight, or your all sound or touch or taste or whatever, Basically the
signals go in, but they get mismatched and they hit a different place, which
basically means that you might hear a word or smell a smell or hear a sound.
And that sound smell or word can actually cause you pain, not
just reading it as is what it is.
This is why a lot of people on the autism spectrum are fussy
with foods, especially with the clothing textures, they have their.
Temperatures, that sounds cite.
You know, you might see a lot of autistic people putting headphones on just to
sit in doors and just have headphones on to have a bit of filter from the
noise and stuff that's around them and maybe wearing sunglasses indoors.
I do that all the time.
And in fact, I actually did a video all about hacks and tips for people
who have sensory processing needs.
And I'll leave that in account above here and in Lincoln description down below.
So you can definitely check out that video, but more important.
Using those hacks will help reduce a lot of the filter.
A lot of the sensory input that you get from other things.
Now, this does happen because of the autism spectrum condition and
autism in its full integrity as a communication disorder and communication
in many forms, you know, it's social communication, social interaction.
It's communicating with one's self and it is also a community.
Your needs to other people, but on top of that, you have sensory input and
these sensory inputs are communicated.
Um, pathways that you're communicating with the world around you, through
the sight, the smell, the sounds, the taste, the textures, everything.
So this is why it causes so much disgruntled issues with autistic people.
It's not that they're being fussy or they're fussy eaters or picky eaters
or people who've just been awkward.
They actually feel maybe physical pain in some scenarios from
these certain sensory inputs.
Now.
I will have a lot more information all about sensory processing
disorder in a video down below.

This is the equipment, it's a pair of headphones and you just pop these
bad boys on, like, you can see in the cutaways here and it plays music
and tells you a little bit about like how to exercise with the music.
