Auditory hypersensitivity tip:

If you are sensitive to rock and pop music, try adjusting the treble and bass to find out if it’s the frequency that bothers you rather than just the volume.

I was just informed that my doctor is temporarily out of the office right now, right when my every-90-days meds renewall needs approved. Once again I have to go off of cannabis for a while, but this time I'm like, almost kinda excited to see how well I'll do? I have pretty much every accommodation I need to stay comfy now, (even an e-ink tablet to play solitaire and check my email!!)

I will need a service worker to take out the trash, get the mail, administer medications, lead me into and out of vehicles and buildings, and meal plan and prep for me, if this goes on very long though. I'm still waiting on medicaid approval for those services because it took this exact scenario to prove to my service coordinator that I require them, but thankfully I'll have acess to them eventually for the next inevitable lapse of medication availability! And those things can all wait a week or so before they get to be actual problems.

So, for now I'm just gonna focus on keeping myself and my pets and plants comfy, till the people who's job it is to fix it can do so, lol. Got my TWO pairs of conduction headphones (~never uncharged~), e-ink tablet for solitaire and email, spotify and youtube premium, weighted blankets and plushies, blackout curtains, dim and even lighting, protein bars and yummy water stuff, skin wipes and dry shampoo, plenty of changes of earplugs, analog clocks and notebooks and comfortable pens, executive dysfunction reducing room and nest layout, and my ferrets' playpen set up securely for longterm use and easy cleaning. I bet I'll even be able to sleep okay if I get enough exercise and cuddles.

I'm gonna make sure to put my neurological health first. Even if I seem kinda silly for it, lol.

Exciting research on Misophonia

I find it extremely validating that the research shows that misophonia is a hard-wired part of our very bodies. I knew in my bones that there is no cure. But knowing that, we can focus on treatment, adaptations and concessions for this often debilitating type of brain function.

My misophonia is just as bad as ever, at the age of 36. But have given myself permission to bail on any given situation at any time, to wear my Bose headphones at all times, to use white noise when needed, to keep earplugs in my keychain... And that has increased the quality of my life, despite my plethora of unusual health problems.

Misophones, please be kind to yourselves. Most people literally cannot imagine how we feel. Your feelings are real. Your feelings are valid.

It's nigh impossible to express what is happening to you while you're overloaded by upsetting stimuli.

So I recommend that you explain your misophonia to the people that you trust. Make a codeword with your partner or best friend. "I want a banana" used to be mine.

Now I text my gf 'miso' and keep a card on me that says "I have a disorder on the autistic spectrum and I cannot handle the present situation"

hello!! do you happen to know anything about sensory processing disorder in adults/teens? all of the articles that i’ve found have been talking about it in elementary age children, especially boys

Sure! Still not an Occupational Therapist, but the population I work with has a high rate of sensory processing challenges so I certainly have some background and experience in this area. Sensory processing issues are definitely something that can affect teenagers and adults!

Most articles do tend to focus on the early years when it comes to developmental disorders, I suppose because that is when diagnosis most often occurs and the importance of "early intervention." This can create the illusion that these are childhood when the reality is that they are lifelong conditions that one doesn't grow out of. Sometimes adding the words "adult" or "adolescent" to your internet searches can yield more specific results.

Here's a resource I found that might be a good starting place for you to learn more!

As you may know, the majority of the teenagers I work with have ADHD and I can definitely report that most of them also have some degree of difficulty with sensory processing. They can be fidgety, sensitive to loud sounds, only eat foods of certain textures, wear only soft tagless clothes, like to have a toy or fidget with them to touch/move/look at, spin in their chairs, get distracted if worksheets have too many elements, pace the classroom, and much more. Accommodations can be very helpful!

I hope that helped 💖

What is Sensory Integration?

Sensory integration is the process of organizing sensory information from the environment and one’s own body to produce a meaningful response. This is a critical aspect of a child’s development, as it lays the foundation for various skills, including motor skills, communication, and emotional regulation.

The Impact of Sensory Integration and Speech Therapy

Sensory integration, when combined with speech therapy, can lead to significant improvements in a child’s life. Some of the key benefits include:

Improved Communication: Speech therapy helps children develop better communication skills, enabling them to express their needs, thoughts, and feelings more effectively. Enhanced Social Skills: With improved communication, children can interact more confidently with peers and adults, contributing to better social integration. Boosted Confidence: As children make progress in sensory integration and speech therapy. They gain self-confidence, which is vital for their overall development. Better Academic Performance: Improved communication skills and sensory integration can lead to better academic performance, setting children on a path to success in school and beyond.

Sensory Overload Trigger Warnings?

I went to a professional ballet performance for the first time in a long time. They performed an excerpt from Paquita by Marius Petipa from the 1800s, Tchaikovsky Pas De Deux by Balanchine from the 1900s, several recent pieces influenced by modern dance, tap, and hip hop. I liked the slow, graceful, contemporary duet the best. I didn’t expect to see the hip-hop-influenced one with CPR music at the ballet performance.

I had forgotten my earplugs, and I had to look at the floor and hold onto my vibrating chest trying to block out whatever sensation I could. I was annoyed and thought, “They should warn you if they are going to do this.” I then thought, “That’s never going to happen. They don’t have sensory challenges, so of course they aren’t going to warn people.”

Later, I thought, “Maybe it could happen.” People have warning signs at performances with strobe lights, and people give trigger warnings before talking about certain topics. Maybe people could learn to give trigger warnings for sensory overload? 

“That’s too complicated,” they might say, “How are we supposed to know when to give the warning?” If enough people with sensory processing challenges got together, we could write guidelines. For example, people could warn others if they will play music of a certain frequency that someone could recognize even if that frequency doesn’t bother them. Sensory overload warnings might seem like more of a grey area than strobe light warnings and content warnings, but I think if we get enough people to try them they could help.

A Quick Overview of Sensory Integration Disorder

Your sense-processing system works every time you see, hear, smell, touch, or taste something. Sensory processing is how your nervous system turns information from your senses into movements and changes in your behavior. If a child has a sensory integration disorder or sensory integration problem, they may not be able to use their abilities properly, which can lead to problems throughout their lives.

Children with SPD often have trouble with school and everyday skills like movement. It makes people feel alone, lowers self-esteem, and leads to other mental illnesses. To help your child have a happy and healthy future, learn about the signs, symptoms, and treatments for sensory integration problems.

What is Sensory Integration?

Sensory integration disorder is the brain's natural way of putting together and making sense of sensory information from the world. On the other hand, sensory integrative dysfunction happens when the brain doesn't organize or combine sensory data, which can affect behavior, growth, and how it processes information. Sensory support methods that have been shown to work can make people feel better and improve their quality of life.

Sensory integration is mostly about three senses: the touch, the vestibular, and the proprioceptive. Their links begin to form before birth and keep growing as the person grows up and interacts with the world around them. Not only do the three senses work together, but they also work with other parts of the brain. 

These three senses are less well known than sight and hearing, but they are very important to survival. There are a lot of different ways that these three systems work together. They let us feel, understand, and react to different things in our environment.

Here are the three senses:

Tactile System

Some nerves under the skin's surface send messages to the brain through the touch system. Light touch, pain, warmth, and pressure are all in this list. These are important for figuring out what's happening around us and protecting us so we can stay alive.

Vestibular System

Structures in the inner ear that pick up on movement and changes in the head's position are called the vestibular system. In this case, the vestibular system tells you whether your head is straight up or turned back. There are two ways that problems in this scheme could show up. Some kids might be very sensitive to vestibular stimulation and get scared when they do normal things that involve moving. 

Proprioceptive System

The muscles, joints, and tendons that make up the proprioceptive system help the brain remember where the body is in space. Proprioception tells our bodies to change positions so we can sit down properly and step off a curb. We can use our fine motor skills by writing with a pencil, ladling soup into bowls, and buttoning clothes.

Symptoms of Sensory Integration Disorder?

Toddlers can usually tell what's wrong. Parents may notice strange behavior and big mood swings when their child has a sense problem. People may call your child tough or troublesome when reacting to too much information from outside sources. Sensory integration disorder is often misdiagnosed and needs to be understood properly. Kids often use fight-or-flight when they have too much knowledge.

These issues make it more likely for kids with the disease to have a lot of social, academic, and emotional issues:

Having trouble making friends

Problems with feeling like a part of a group

Lack of self-esteem

Problems in school or learning problems

Being called awkward, stubborn, or annoying

Trouble with fine motor skills

Not liking noise and light

They think their clothes are too tight.

Because of the signs, people may become depressed, angry, or have other behavior issues. 

A child who covers their ears when there are loud noises or wants their clothes to be loose may be sensitive to sound or touch. They might not have SPD if these feelings don't affect their daily life or work. Symptoms vary from person to person, determining the illness's severity and nature.

Is Sensory Integration a Form of Autism?

Having trouble understanding sensory information has been called an autistic trait for a long time. Problems with the senses were added to the diagnosis and defined as not reacting strongly to sensory information or showing unusual interest in sensory aspects of the environment.

Sensory integration disorder can be very frustrating because it makes doing many normal things in life hard. Sensory integration treatment, a new method, helps people with and without autism calm down and improve many things. 

A lot of autistic people are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough to light, noise, and touch. They might not be able to stand the sound of washing, or they might need to stim and even hurt themselves to understand their bodies fully. These differences in how our senses work are sometimes called sensory processing disorders or dysfunctions. Sensory integration treatment can help people with these conditions.

Occupational therapists trained to help kids with sensory processing issues do it. Sensory tasks help kids get used to light, sound, touch, smells, and more. You can help their senses by swinging, brushing, playing in a ball pit, etc. These things help with attention, behavior, and stress.

How Do I Know If My Child Has Sensory Issues?

Hypersensitive children are more likely to be affected by sensory integration disorder. This makes them quickly overwhelmed by sensory experiences that others might not notice. This can cause outbursts, meltdowns, or skipping jobs that might look like anxiety or behavior problems.

Hypersensitive kids don't get enough stimulation and want more. Often, these kids do something called "sensory seeking" to get more sense input. It can be hard to tell if a child is acting out because sensory seeking can look like aggression or restlessness.

In Conclusion

Several studies have shown that treating autistic kids with sensory integration disorder makes them better. One study found that sensory integration treatment helped kids with autism improve their motor skills. Sensory integration therapy may change the nervous system directly, which can help with change, healing, and adaptive behavior. 

If you decide to get help from a professional for sensory problems, an occupational therapist can be helpful. Occupational therapists use an activity-based method, which helps kids better understand and sense information and practice everyday skills.
