In reply to Tania Kac. Keeping working, mama! Your kid will become much more verbal, specific and self-starting for himself as we continues to learn.

In reply to Natasha Daniels. Oh my goodness yes! Many of us have sensory issues on some level. Having sensory kids have certainly spotlighted the things that drive me over the edge. But it's also taught me that while some of us may be sensitive to certain things, for others it really is impeding and can be debilitating. My goal since we found out about my sons is not to change them but rather help them deal with the sensory input and manage their surroundings as well as themselves.

A great article. No two brains are the same and that brings so much beauty to life. We all process stimuli a bit differently and it weighs into the various forms of intelligence and skill we each possess. I wish more people recognized how differently we interpret the world. Those on the far ends of any spectrum stand out more when we fail to recognize that there is a spectrum and people that fall all along that line.

My 23-year-old son has come a long way, but still resists hugs, both because they still cause him discomfort and because he doesn’t see the point! (He already told me he loved me ten years ago.) My book is about the early days and discovering what was going on for him and how we helped him along the way. (He will submit to hugs now when I insist. I’m very huggy so we have to compromise.)

That’s wonderful to hear, Jennifer! My kid is also making progress this year and started to articulate and understand more what his body needs because of occupational therapy. So now he knows to tell a grownup when he needs to take a break from a large group, or something is overwhelming. Thank you for your perspective!

Great article! Many of us have sensory issues – we just didn’t have a name for it growing up. Now that my kids have it – I realize that I have had it all along too.

Wonderful, WISE post.
So empathetic and yet accepting.
As a sensory adult, I felt good about it; as a sensory parent, I got it too.
Thanks and love,
