Do you ever feel overwhelmed by noises, lights, textures, or smells? Or maybe you need extra stimulation just to focus or feel calm? You could be experiencing Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) — a condition that affects how your brain processes sensory information.

In this episode of The Aspie World Podcast, we explore what SPD is, how it relates to autism and ADHD, and practical strategies to manage sensory challenges in everyday life.

Whether you’re autistic, supporting someone who is, or just curious about why the world can sometimes feel “too much,” this episode will give you clarity, tools, and support.

  • What Sensory Processing Disorder really is and how it works

  • The link between SPD, autism, and ADHD

  • The eight sensory systems and how they affect daily life

  • Common signs of sensory overload and sensory seeking behaviours

  • Practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and create sensory-friendly environments

Understanding SPD can transform your daily life, helping you make choices that support your brain and body.

  • Autistic and ADHD adults managing sensory overload or seeking behaviours

  • Parents supporting children with SPD or sensory sensitivities

  • Teachers, carers, and therapists wanting to create sensory-friendly spaces

  • Anyone curious about how sensory processing differences affect the brain
