• 0:13
  AstroWorld. My name is Dan.

• 0:31
  Okay guys, so it is sensory processing awareness month or
• 0:35
  sensory processing month, which means I am going to do some
• 0:39
  sensory processing videos because I always do videos on
• 0:41
  Types of things and sensory processing disorder is something
• 0:44
  that is comorbid with autism. It's something that occurs with
• 0:47
  autism. It's co-occurring.
• 0:48
  It's something that is part of an Autism Spectrum, diagnosis in
• 0:52
  a lot of cases. So that being said, I teamed up
• 0:55
  with sensory who are probably sponsoring this video and we'll
• 0:57
  have more on them later. Okay, so I'm going to break down
• 1:00
  for tips and strategies that I can give you that will help you
• 1:03
  overcome some sensory processing issues.
• 1:06
  It's not going to cure it because sensory processing
• 1:08
  disorder is how your brain is wired.
• 1:10
  It's not something that you can Unlike cured.
• 1:12
  It's part of an Autism Spectrum diagnosis and what, you know,
• 1:14
  the rest, if by any chance, I've missed something out and you
• 1:17
  guys think Dan, you didn't say this then pop it in a comment
• 1:20
  down below. Let me know.
• 1:23
  Alright, let's go on with the video.
• 1:24
  Okay. So the first one is
• 1:25
  proprioception. Now sensory processing disorder
• 1:28
  can be helped a little bit by activating sensory sensory,
• 1:32
  caused proprioception and proprioception is basically when
• 1:36
  the muscles deep at muscle tissue, has some sort of
• 1:39
  Engagement, some kind of like a Instance, like if you picked up
• 1:43
  a chair for instance, or if you did, like a press up, or you
• 1:45
  went running or walking or even having a shower to activate the
• 1:49
  muscle, and it to get that proprioception sense,
• 1:52
  heightened. Now, there is a way to do this,
• 1:55
  that will give you way more benefit as in the activation of
• 1:59
  proprioception only last for about two hours.
• 2:01
  So you have to kind of keep up and top this up every two hours
• 2:04
  but it actually really does work.
• 2:05
  What I suggest to do is do like wall press EPS or something like
• 2:08
  that. You could even go for a walk if
• 2:10
  you wanted to Or you can do some light exercise in the house.
• 2:12
  You could even like pick up a chair or something.
• 2:14
  That's a little bit heavy. Maybe your laptop or something.
• 2:17
  So you don't drop it. Obviously, you just looking
• 2:19
  strain activate those muscles in the proprioception sense to give
• 2:23
  you a little bit more work on the muscle.
• 2:26
  What happens here is that it gives you a state of awareness
• 2:28
  around your body and your muscles and so you are more in
• 2:32
  tune with your surroundings. So a lot of people who have
• 2:34
  sensory processing disorder can't like open doors wide
• 2:37
  enough to fit through them, which is something that I do as
• 2:39
  well and I get bruises on my arms.
• 2:41
  Because I'm not opening the door wide enough to sense my body's
• 2:45
  structure, but having this proprioception activation
• 2:47
  actually helps me understand a lot more about my spatial
• 2:50
  awareness, and things like that. Super good tip, highly recommend
• 2:54
  it. It was actually given to me by a
• 2:57
  occupational. Therapist who works with sensory
• 2:59
  processing disorder. Super dope.
• 3:01
  All right. Let's move on to pack number 2.
• 3:04
  Okay. So hack number two.
• 3:05
  Is these sound stereo headphones.
• 3:07
  Now, I'm going to talk a little bit about some tree because they
• 3:10
  were happy enough. To help me and sponsor this
• 3:12
  video. So big shout out to a sponsoring
• 3:14
  and helping create this video sounds through using
• 3:16
  multi-sensory music therapy and movement program.
• 3:19
  The soundtrue headphones equipped with a dynamic filter
• 3:22
  and bone conduction technology, helps improve motor skills and
• 3:25
  cognitive development in children and adults who are
• 3:27
  pretty cool, right? The program consists of
• 3:30
  specifically designed music, processed with neuro acoustic,
• 3:35
  modifications as well as a series of movement based
• 3:38
  exercises. It is a 40 Day program.
• 3:41
  Divided into two sections of 20 days each with a break of about
• 3:45
  a month in between and each day consists of about 30 minutes of
• 3:48
  music and exercise, which is quite achievable.
• 3:50
  If you're doing this to kind of help with your sensory
• 3:52
  processing needs, sounds three helps improve fine, and gross,
• 3:56
  and visual motor skills in children, like hand writing and
• 4:00
  drawing balance posture eye. Coordination, hand-eye
• 4:03
  coordination building on these fundamental skills and kind of
• 4:07
  Beyond really, because they're like a basis, right?
• 4:10
  Sanskrit improved. Regulation, social skills and
• 4:12
  Communications, which but different all-rounder.
• 4:15
  Some tree is designed to be safe and effective and is helping
• 4:18
  children, and adults on the autism spectrum, with auditory
• 4:20
  and sensory processing disorders, and other
• 4:23
  developmental delays. Children can complete coloring
• 4:26
  Lego building drawing writing painting and other activities.
• 4:29
  Well, are actually using sound. Sorry.
• 4:31
  It has nine hours of battery time online access to exercise
• 4:35
  videos and an option to switch to Bluetooth mode, to use the
• 4:38
  sound trees, headphones, as just normal headphones, you can use
• 4:41
  Is as just typically your average daily headphone, so it's
• 4:44
  kind of cool, right? I really love that feature.
• 4:46
  I did the program of the 20 days.
• 4:48
  I did the initial 20 day program and it was highly effective.
• 4:51

• 4:56
  it and I don't take on any brand who wants to, you know, partner
• 5:00

• 5:26
  out. I love these.
• 5:27
  Okay on to tip number three, okay, so creating a sensory room
• 5:32
  or a sensory corner. Now people on the autism
• 5:34
  spectrum and people who have sensory needs are always kind of
• 5:37
  around things that are sensory triggering so you could be in
• 5:41
  worse. Q could be in school, you could
• 5:42
  be out on the bus or in town. And there's a lot of things
• 5:45
  going on. A lot of people talking, a lot
• 5:46
  of things moving around, a lot of noise, and hustle and bustle.
• 5:50
  And so sometimes one needs to retract from that and kind of
• 5:54
  calm down their sensory processing input.
• 5:57
  Right. And the way to do this is to
• 5:59
  create a sensory corner of sensory room.
• 6:01
  I actually usually try and do a corner of a room where you have
• 6:04
  like nice soft pillows. Then sensory toys.
• 6:07
  You could even have lights are twinkling, lights stuff like
• 6:10
  that. Which will help you kind of be
• 6:12
  cozy cam relaxed and a little bit reset.
• 6:15
  If you will in this kind of like that busy hustle-bustle world
• 6:19
  and I top it tip for this is to actually schedule in sensory
• 6:22
  processing to calm down time like chill out time within your
• 6:26
  daily routine because the more you can put this into your daily
• 6:29
  life, the easier that you will be during the day when Century
• 6:33
  issues occur because you've had time to kind of recharge your
• 6:35
  batteries in a way, which is a really good thing.
• 6:37
  And something that is Paramount in this situation.
• 6:40
  Okay, guys, let's get To number four, number four is wearing
• 6:43
  headphones and sunglasses. Now, obviously one of the main
• 6:47
  ways that people can sense the world around them is through
• 6:49
  their eyes and through their ears and this is a lot of the
• 6:52
  time, really difficult for people on the autism spectrum,
• 6:54
  like having so much noise input, and filtered is quite
• 6:58
  overwhelming and cause things like meltdowns and burnouts and
• 7:01
  things like that. And also having lights too many
• 7:04
  lights out of Highly. Kind of like bright in your eyes
• 7:07
  when you are sensitive to those can cause you again to have
• 7:10
  distress. So there R2 hacks, we have here
• 7:12
  for this one is to wear a pair of sunglasses, which is a what I
• 7:18
  use here. These are kind of like my daily.
• 7:19
  Once I I kind of have on so you can wear a pair of sunglasses,
• 7:22
  which actually helped that filter out some of the light,
• 7:24
  which is kind of really cool. But also you could just wear a
• 7:27
  pair of headphones, any headphones would do but actually
• 7:30
  forget in the soundtrue headphones remote.
• 7:31
  So use these, it's a pretty good.
• 7:33
  They got great covering, really comfy and this helps block out
• 7:36
  and filter out all the noise. So there are headphones are do
• 7:39
  like noise, canceling, but there's I need if you just have
• 7:42
  headphones on or help filter some of that noise out which I
• 7:45
  find highly just amazing like highly recommend doing this
• 7:49
  because these two tips have really helped me a lot.
• 7:52
  I wear headphones a lot of the time and I also wear sunglasses
• 7:56
  whenever I need to and sometimes I wear sunglasses indoors as
• 7:58
  well. It does get funny looks from
• 7:59
  people but at the end of the day, I'd rather funny looks when
• 8:01
  be distressed. So there you have it guys.
• 8:03
  There's some sensory processing hacks.
