  If you're new around here, I have a free autism Wi-Fi PDF

  book you can download now from autismhives.net completely free.

  The link is down below. So sensory processing disorder,
• 1:01
  what is it? So sensory processing disorder,
• 1:03
  sometimes called SPD is a form of different types of sensory
• 1:08
  hyper or hyposensitivities to sensory environments.
• 1:12
  And this is third party stimuli. So this could be that you are
• 1:16
  told to different lights. You could be in a, an amusement
• 1:18
  arcade, a light too bright or flickering and it's really
• 1:21
  causing you harm. Or there is a, an event going on
• 1:24
  and the noise is too loud. Even could be walking through a
• 1:26
  mole and the noise is too loud and and you're making you cover
• 1:29
  your ears. Now sensory processing disorder
• 1:31
  comes comorbidly with autism and autism is a neurological
• 1:35
  developmental condition which actually has a bunch of
• 1:37
  different things Co occurring. It could be like ADHD, it could
• 1:40
  be OCD, all kinds of stuff. Now I have sensory processing
• 1:43
  disorder myself and it is very interesting that mine is like
• 1:47
  texture and smell based and sound based.
• 1:50
  But sometimes you can be also hyposensitive.
• 1:52
  So a person could be less sensitive or more sensitive to
• 1:57
  something. It's really quite interesting.
• 1:58
  And sometimes you can have a combination of both.
• 2:01
  So someone could be like hypersensitive to sound, but
• 2:03
  hyposensitive to taste. So they could like have to block
• 2:06
  out loads of sound, even if it's like the, the, the lowest sound
• 2:10
  ever, like, you know, a mouse sticking of fat in the next room
• 2:13
  and he could be like really sensitive to that sound.
• 2:14
  However you can sit and eat like spicy food until the cows come
• 2:17
  home because it it just effects people on the odds inspection
• 2:21
  differently. Now up to date I've not really
• 2:23
  come across many people who have just a sensory processing
• 2:25
  disorder diagnosis. It's usually Co caring with like
• 2:27
  autism or ADHD. Now, sensory processing disorder
• 2:31
  can be very debilitating. And I know for me when I was
• 2:34
  doing my degree in chemistry, you have to do a bunch of other
• 2:36
  stuff 1st. And we were analyzing onion skin
• 2:39
  under a microscope and I remember being in the room with
• 2:43
  cut onions and I couldn't be there because I'm really
• 2:45
  sensitive to the smell of onions.
• 2:47
  I'm really sensitive to the smell of garlic as well.
• 2:50
  So I can't be in the room with those things, which makes it
• 2:51
  very difficult for me to cook because how can I cook when
• 2:55
  they're the basis of pretty much every meal, right?
• 2:57
  So it's really difficult and it can be very challenging.
• 3:00
  But that being said, there are so many things to help overcome.
• 3:03
  I mean, even though life hacked a book that I've linked down
• 3:05
  below for free, I have some sensory processing hacks in
• 3:08
  there that will help people who are sent hypersensitive to
• 3:11
  certain things like, you know, tags on the back of the back of
• 3:14
  the shirt or even seams, the socks.
• 3:15
  All those things are substitute processing issues.
• 3:17
  I'd love to know your opinions and your input on it.
