Neurodivergent nervous systems often process sensory input differently. Sounds, lights, textures, or smells can feel intense, overwhelming, or even painful.
Sensory regulation means adjusting your environment so your body feels safer and calmer.
Do loud noises overwhelm you? Would headphones, white noise, or quiet spaces help?
Bright lights or screens too intense? Soft lamps, warm lighting, or dim settings can help.
Clothing tags, fabrics, or surfaces bothering you? Soft materials and familiar textures can regulate.
Are you too hot, cold, tense, or restless? Blankets, movement, or stretching may support you.
