Since each person with autism is affected differently, there is no one "typical" sensory profile for someone on the spectrum. People may exhibit hyposensitivity to certain stimuli but hypersensitivity to others. Although everyone lives in the same environmental space, adults and children with autism have distinct inner worlds. The way we see our surroundings influences our preferences, aversions, and motivation. It's crucial to develop self-awareness, especially for those of us with unusual sensory profiles. Being aware of our own and our children's triggers is a crucial tool for safely and effectively conveying unique needs to others ahead of time.
The following questions will be covered in this 60-minute session:
1. Hyper / hypo sensitivity.
2. Noticing sensory-seeking / avoiding behaviour.
3. Strategies to increase / reduce sensory input and minimise challenging behaviours.
4. How to create a safer environment for home, school and social settings.
