Thoughty Auti - The Autism Podcast - Sensory Processing Disorder and Autism

Sensory Processing Disorder and Autism

01/18/20 • 64 min

What is Sensory Processing Disorder? How do deal with sensory difficulties in your day-to-day? What challenges faces someone with SPD? Are you meeting your own sensory needs? In this episode of the Thoughty Auti Podcast, Thomas talks to Emily (@21andsensory) about sensory needs/difficulties and the many reasons why having Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) can make life a little more difficult to navigate. We talk about the recent development of the Sunflower Lanyard Scheme, what individuals can do to cope with daily life and the ways other people can make being sensory... just a little bit more comfortable. Emily received a diagnosis of ASD in late last year and lives with both anxiety and SPD. Whether its sunglasses, noise-canceling headphones, fidget toys, sensory rooms or sleep aids... her blog, Instagram page, and podcast offer new insights into the sensory world of autism!

Autism At Christmas - Dealing with High Volume Social Events

How can an autistic person deal with holidays? How can you organise festive periods that suit you? Are there too many expectations during Christmas? In this episode of the Thoughty Auti Podcast, Thomas talks to Tyla from the @AutisticTyla Instagram page about the difficulties of festive periods and the ways an autistic individual can cope with them. Tyla is first and foremost a blogger with a passion for building communities and an intent to bring autistic individuals together. She makes content that appeals to young adults on the autistic spectrum and strives to offer important advice for 'adulting' in a confusing world. We dive into the core issues and mindsets that make Christmas time a painful ordeal, talk about the ways an individual can cope with the expectations put on them, ponder over options for socialising if the company is craved, and finally highlight the key ways Tyla has improved her life.

Autism and Anxiety with Neurodivergent Rebel

Is anxiety common in autistic people? Why is anxiety co-morbid with autism? How can you overcome your own anxiety disorder? Do you suffer with a lot of panic attacks? In this episode of the Thoughty Auti Podcast, Thomas talks to Christa (@neurodivergentrebel) about the struggles of anxiety disorders and how they tie into an autism diagnosis all too often. We explore the biological and social sides to anxiety, ways you notice your stress levels increasing, ways to prevent future panic attacks, and mindsets to develop in order to cope with the disorder. Christa received a diagnosis of ASD late in life and it brought her through all the different stages of grief, before she accepted this new information. She never planned to be such a social media star, but since the rise in her popularity, she's been helping others and raising awareness. Autism conferences, podcasts, videos, writing, art... she's done it all and she is here today to chat about overcoming anxiety!
