Description
Book SynopsisOur senses! Thanks to them, our brains are constantly 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 exactly 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 frequently 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 counsellor, SPD community advocate, and sensory adult Rachel S. Schneider, 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 that is curious about unusual and complex sensory experiences, this guide will answer your questions about life with sensory processing differences.
Trade ReviewI don't care how much I love you, you're not borrowing this book. SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), which is highly common in people with autism, is mind-blowing in its complexity and, yet, this guide somehow makes great sense of it in just ten short chapters.
[...]
Making Sense is the perfect pocket guide to SPD for parents and practitioners. Explanations this simple can only really be given by someone in total, confident command of their subject. Written with passion, enthusiasm and empathy, it will also be a heartening companion for those who themselves have SPD and want some self-help advice".
