Opis

Our senses Thanks to them, our brains are flooded with information about the world around us. What may surprise you is that we're not all wired the same way, and some of us are unable to understand what we're sensing. People with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), a newly identified neurological condition, as well as those with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), are often misunderstood by others when they over- or under-react to sounds, sights, smells, tastes, touch, movement, balance, and feelings within their bodies.
In this guide, mental health counselor, SPD community advocate, and sensory adult Rachel S. Schneider, M.A., MHC, helps us to make sense of sensory issues. Whether you're someone with sensory issues, a loved one supporting a sensory person, a professional, or someone curious about unusual and complex sensory experiences, this guide will answer your questions about life with sensory processing differences.
