#SensoryProcessingDisorder

[bathrobe-gal]

Since learning about my sensory processing differences (SPD), it has helped me so much to identify my particular sensory needs and perception. Being aware of my sensory profile helps me understand, regulate, and be prepared for the ways the elements of the world can affect me.

To create this, I was inspired by several diagrams I had seen in the past of general SPD traits :) I don't have space to include all of mine, but I highly recommend taking the time to do a sensory profile on yourself or keep a list of traits you add to when you notice them being activated.

While I don't know if I have OCD I do know that secular scrupulosity is my theme if so, and as a composer this directly relates to the dilemma I've faced: I'm drawn to warm contralto/low mezzo voices and the smol floaty ethereal soprano subtype because of my sensitivity to piercing high overtones, these get heavily gendered and sexualised coding from various allo listeners, I'm scared of being seen to be Policing Women's* Voices, asking them to take up less space or to fit the gaze of others who look like me... Even when it's for the same reason I'm sex-averse/functionally ace...

The worst bit is when I feel the need to write piercing loud high things that cause sensory discomfort or worse when I hear it. And then it's often the case that I stop writing for ages after that 😭

Anyway, fellow sex-repulsed aces with moral OCD that might be triggered by the "you MUST be horny and write porn and be sexual or else you're functionally a conservative" wave on this site, because I know it's making mine act up something fierce:

No you don't

Your discomfort with sexuality and sexual themes is morally neutral and does not make you even remotely similar to Moms for Liberty

Porn is not the only thing they're trying to censor

Porn is not the only thing they're trying to censor

One of the most challenged books of the 2020s so far is Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe, a memoir of a trans AROACE person

You do not need to write or draw things that trigger you to be a politically progressive artist

You do not need to be sexual to be a good person

You have stories that need to be told too, and your stories are as vital to fighting censorship and protecting free expression as any other queer story

We're all in this together and together is the only way we're all getting out of it

Sensory Integration Therapy

Children with sensory integration dysfunction frequently experience problems with their sense of touch, smell, hearing, taste and/or sight. Along with this they often face difficulties in movement, coordination, and sensing where one’s body is in a given space. This is a common disorder for individuals with neurological conditions such as an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Individuals may be overly sensitive to certain textures, sounds, smells and tastes, while wearing certain fabrics, tasting certain foods or normal everyday sounds may cause discomfort.

Navigating the Unknown: When Anxiety Makes Plans Feel Impossible In this heartfelt post, I open up about the daily realities of parenting a teenager with high anxiety and special needs. With honesty and love, I share how even something as simple as going out for ice cream requires careful planning, gentle words, and emotional awareness. This story offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes moments many families like ours face—and reminds other parents that they are not alone in the unpredictability, the patience, and the deep love it takes to navigate life with a neurodivergent child.

Eating can just be so much effort!! If only the only foods were candy and cake...

I say "sometimes", but actually this happens a lot. Ever wish eating was unnecessary and you could just eat occasionally for fun?

Sensory Processing Disorder

https://www.ifineedhelp.org/sensory-processing-disorder

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a complex, brain-based condition that affects how individuals perceive and respond to sensory input from their environment. It occurs when the brain has difficulty effectively organizing and interpreting information from the senses—such as touch, sound, taste, smell, and movement.

For those living with SPD, sensory input may feel intense, unpredictable, or misinterpreted, which can lead to challenges in everyday situations.

SPD is best understood as a spectrum. Individuals may exhibit a broad range of sensory sensitivities or sensory-seeking behaviors. Some may be hypersensitive, reacting strongly to even mild stimuli and experiencing sensory overload. Others may be hyposensitive, craving intense sensory experiences or showing reduced responsiveness to input.

Understanding and supporting individuals with SPD involves recognizing these differences and tailoring environments, tools, and strategies to help them thrive.

"If you've told a child a thousand times, and the child still has not learned, then it is not the child who is the slow learner." - Walter Barbe 1977

When there's an underlying condition that has not been identified and needs are therefore unmet, you can tell a child the same thing a million times and their behavior won't change.

What WILL change their behavior is understanding the root cause and figuring out strategies that will address their underlying unmet needs... then, helping them apply those strategies.

But getting upset because they "aren't listening" is unproductive and will likely lead to increased frustration all around.

Also, as they say... insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
